Commission
[Docket No. CP09–460–000]
ETC Tiger Pipeline Company, LLC;
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed ETC Tiger Pipeline Project
January 26, 2010.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
ETC Tiger Pipeline Project (Project)
proposed by ETC Tiger Pipeline
Company, LLC (ETC Tiger) in the above
referenced docket. ETC Tiger requests
authorization to construct, own, operate,
and maintain the proposed Project,
which consists of an interstate natural
gas pipeline and associated ancillary
facilities. The proposed Project would
transport about 2.0 billion cubic feet of
natural gas per day from east Texas and
northwest Louisiana to the Midwest,
Northeastern, and Southeastern markets.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
proposed ETC Tiger Pipeline Project in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act. The
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed Project, with appropriate
mitigating measures, would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
This EA was prepared in cooperation
with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, Natural
Resources Conservation Service, the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
and the Louisiana Department of
Wildlife and Fisheries.
The proposed ETC Tiger Pipeline
Project includes the following proposed
facilities:
• About 175.0 miles of 42-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline in Panola
County, Texas, and Caddo, DeSoto, Red
River, Bienville, Jackson, Ouachita,
Richland, and Franklin Parishes,
Louisiana;
• About 0.4 mile of 42-inch-diameter
interconnecting station pipeline in
Richland Parish, Louisiana;

• One bidirectional meter and
regulator station at a receipt/delivery
point with an intrastate pipeline, the
Houston Pipe Line Meter/Regulator
(M/R) Station in Panola County, Texas;
• Eight new meter and regulator
stations at receipt points with four
pipeline systems, including:
—Two Chesapeake Energy Marketing,
Inc. (Chesapeake) M/R Stations in
DeSoto Parish, Louisiana;

M/R Station in DeSoto Parish,
Louisiana;
—Questar Exploration and Production
Company (Questar) M/R Station in

—EnCana M/R Station in Red River
Parish, Louisiana;
—Tristate North Louisiana Midstream,
LLC (Tristate) M/R Station in Red
River Parish, Louisiana;
—Questar M/R Station in Bienville
Parish, Louisiana; and
—EnCana M/R Station in Bienville
Parish, Louisiana;
• Interconnects with seven existing
interstate pipelines at delivery points
including:
—Texas Eastern Transmission, L.P.
(TETCO) M/R Station in Bienville
Parish, Louisiana;
—Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company
(Tennessee Gas) M/R Station in
Jackson Parish, Louisiana;
—Texas Gas Transmission, LLC (Texas
Gas) M/R Station in Ouachita Parish,
Louisiana;
—Trunkline Gas Company, LLC

M/R Station in Richland Parish,
Louisiana;
• Fifteen mainline valves; and
• Three pig launcher/receiver
facilities associated with the Carthage
and Bienville Compressor Stations, to be
located within the permanent right-ofway at the terminus of the pipeline.
The EA has been placed in the public
files of the FERC and is available for
public viewing on the FERC’s Web site
at https://www.ferc.gov using the
eLibrary link. A limited number of
