Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of
Intent to Prepare an Environmental
Assessment for the Planned Mainline
104 Expansion Project and Request for
Comments on Environmental Issues
April 29, 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 Mainline 104 Expansion Project,
involving construction and operation of
facilities by Questar Pipeline Company
(Questar) in Uintah County, Utah. 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 the Commission
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 May 29,
2010.
This notice is being sent to the
Commission’s current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and
local government representatives are
asked to notify their constituents of this
planned project and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
A fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas
Facility On My Land? What Do I Need
To Know?’’ is available for viewing on
the FERC Web site (https://
www.ferc.gov). 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.
Summary of the Planned Project
Questar plans to construct and
operate about 23.3 miles of 24-inchdiameter pipeline in Uintah County,
Utah. The Mainline 104 Expansion
PO 00000
Frm 00074
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Project would loop 1 the western end of
Questar’s existing Mainline 40 between
its existing Green River Block Valve and
its Fidlar Compressor Staiton.
According to Questar, its project would
allow existing shippers to amend the
primary receipt-point capacity eastward
to Fidlar.
The Mainline 104 Expansion Project
would consist of the following facilities:
• 23.5 miles of 24-inch-diameter
looping pipeline;
• four mainline block valves;
• two pig launchers/receivers; 2
• six taps; and
• minor modifications at the existing
Fidlar Compressor Station.
The general location of the project
facilities is shown in appendix 1.3
Land Requirements for Construction
Construction of the planned facilities
would disturb about 336 acres of land
for the above ground facilities and the
pipeline. Following construction, about
142 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. About 70 percent of the
planned pipeline route parallels existing
pipeline, utility, or road rights-of-way.
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 4 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 will discuss impacts
that could occur as a result of the
construction and operation of the
1 A pipeline loop is constructed parallel to an
existing pipeline to increase capacity.
2 A ‘‘pig’’ is a tool that is inserted into and moves
through the pipeline, and is used for cleaning the
pipeline, internal inspections, or other purposes.
