The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the Raton 2010 Expansion Project proposed by Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG) in the above-referenced docket. CIG requests authorization to construct approximately 118 miles of 16-inch diameter pipeline in Las Animas, Huerfano, Pueblo, and El Paso Counties, Colorado in two segments (the Spanish Peaks and Aguilar Laterals). The Project would increase firm capacity into CIG’s system by 130,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d).
