The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will discuss the environmental impacts of the WIC 2010 System Enhancement Project (Project) involving construction and operation of facilities by Wyoming Interstate Company (WIC) in Weld and Sweetwater Counties, in Colorado and Wyoming, respectively. This EA will be used by the Commission in its decisionmaking process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity. This notice announces the opening of the scoping process we will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the project. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping period will close on February 15, 2010.

State and local government representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this proposed project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with State law. A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ was attached to the project notice WIC provided to landowners. This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission’s proceedings. It is also available for viewing on the FERC Web site (https:// www.ferc.gov). WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES Summary of the Proposed Project The proposed Project would involve the modification of the Wamsutter Compressor Station and the construction and operation of approximately 2.43 miles of 20-inchdiameter pipeline from the Wamsutter Compressor Station to interconnections with Rockies Express Pipeline Company and Questar Overthrust Pipeline Company in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The Project would entail piping modifications at the Cheyenne Compressor Station in Weld County, Colorado, to enable the compression of gas in a westerly direction toward Wamsutter. The Wamsutter Compressor Station compressor modification, pipeline construction, and Cheyenne Compressor Station re-piping would accommodate up to approximately 285,000 dekatherms per day of transportation volumes for westbound deliveries. VerDate Nov<24>2008 14:10 Jan 25, 2010 Jkt 220001 The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix 1.1 Land Requirements for Construction Construction of the proposed Project would disturb about 35.9 acres of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipeline. Following construction, about 16.8 acres would be maintained for permanent operation of the project’s facilities; the remaining acreage would be restored and allowed to revert to former uses.

Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an 
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed WIC 2010 System Enhancement 
Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

January 15, 2010.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will 
discuss the environmental impacts of the WIC 2010 System Enhancement 
Project (Project) involving construction and operation of facilities by 
Wyoming Interstate Company (WIC) in Weld and Sweetwater Counties, in 
Colorado and Wyoming, respectively. This EA will be used by the 
Commission in its decision-making process to determine whether the 
project is in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process we will 
use to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the 
project. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what 
issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping 
period will close on February 15, 2010.

[[Page 4060]]

    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental 
mailing for this project, which includes affected landowners; Federal, 
State, and local government representatives and agencies; elected 
officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American 
Tribes; parties to this proceeding; and local libraries and newspapers. 
State and local government representatives are asked to notify their 
constituents of this proposed project and encourage them to comment on 
their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted 
by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an 
easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. 
The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. 
However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that approval 
conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement 
negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could 
initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with State law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural 
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' was attached to the 
project notice WIC provided to landowners. This fact sheet addresses a 
number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent 
domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. It is 
also available for viewing on the FERC Web site (https://www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    The proposed Project would involve the modification of the 
Wamsutter Compressor Station and the construction and operation of 
approximately 2.43 miles of 20-inch-diameter pipeline from the 
Wamsutter Compressor Station to interconnections with Rockies Express 
Pipeline Company and Questar Overthrust Pipeline Company in Sweetwater 
County, Wyoming.
    The Project would entail piping modifications at the Cheyenne 
Compressor Station in Weld County, Colorado, to enable the compression 
of gas in a westerly direction toward Wamsutter. The Wamsutter 
Compressor Station compressor modification, pipeline construction, and 
Cheyenne Compressor Station re-piping would accommodate up to 
approximately 285,000 dekatherms per day of transportation volumes for 
westbound deliveries.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed Project would disturb about 35.9 acres 
of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipeline. Following 
construction, about 16.8 acres would be maintained for permanent 
operation of the project's facilities; the remaining acreage would be 
restored and allowed to revert to former uses.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the 
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could 
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a 
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us 
to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals. 
This process is referred to as ``scoping''. The main goal of the 
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important 
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public 
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. All comments 
received will be considered during the preparation of the EA.
    In the EA we \2\ will discuss impacts that could occur as a result 
of the construction and operation of the proposed project under these 
general headings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We'', ``us'', and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff 
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Geology and soils;
     land use;
     water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     cultural resources;
     vegetation and wildlife;
     air quality and noise;
     endangered and threatened species;
     cumulative impacts; and,
     public safety.
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed 
project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to 
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA. 
Depending on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA 
may be published and mailed to those on our environmental mailing list 
(see discussion of how to remain on our mailing list on page 5). A 
comment period will be allotted for review if the EA is published. We 
will consider all comments on the EA before we make our recommendations 
to the Commission. To ensure your comments are considered, please 
carefully follow the instructions in the Public Participation section 
beginning on page 4.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction and/or 
special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally

and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time 
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with 
notification of these filings, document summaries and direct links to 
the documents. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/esubscribenow.htm.
    Finally, public meetings or site visits will be posted on the 
Commission's calendar located at https://www.ferc.gov/EventCalendar/EventsList.aspx along with other related information.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
