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 Northampton Expansion Project (Project) involving construction and operation of facilities by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee) in Hampden County, Massachusetts. 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. The Notice of Intent (NOI) 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 January 20, 2011. Comments on the project may be submitted in written form or electronically, as described in the public participation section of this notice. This NOI 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 22:37 Dec 27, 2010 Jkt 223001 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 where compensation would be determined 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?’’ is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (https:// www.ferc.gov/for-citizens/citizenguides.asp). This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in FERC’s proceedings. Summary of the Proposed Project The Project involves the construction of the new Southwick Compressor Station 260A at 248 Feeding Hills Road in the Town of Southwick, Hampden County, Massachusetts. The Project has been sited on a 5.32-acre parcel adjacent to Tennessee’s existing 8-inch diameter Northampton Lateral Line. The Compressor Station will consist of a 2,000-horsepower electric engine compression unit housed within a new building, and other associated facilities, including a gas cooler unit, vent silencer, a fan, a control building, onsite access driveway, and overhead electrical line. Ancillary equipment will also include an emergency generator, hot water boiler and space heater, all fueled by natural gas. In order to connect the Compressor Station to the Northampton Lateral, Tennessee will need to install a total of 380 feet of pipeline: (i) 155 feet of pipeline on the Compressor Station site; and (ii) 225 feet of pipeline within a 60-foot wide easement connecting the Compressor Station site to the Northampton Lateral. A location map depicting the proposed facilities is attached to this NOI as Appendix 1.1 Land Requirements for Construction Tennessee proposes to construct the Project on a parcel of land measuring 1 The appendices referenced in this notice are not printed in the Federal Register, but they are being provided to all those who receive this notice in the mail. Copies of the NOI can be obtained from the Commission’s Web site at the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link, Commission’s Public Reference Room, or by calling (202) 502–8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to the end of this notice. PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 approximately 5.32 acres which is wholly owned by Tennessee. Construction will require approximately 3.28 acres of new land disturbance of which 1.57 acres will be permanently altered by operation of the facility. Approximately 2.82 acres (over 50 percent) of the 5.32-acre parcel would be utilized as buffer and visual screening both during and postconstruction and will not be affected by either construction or operation of the facility. Portions of this work are also required within a proposed 0.31-acre pipeline easement necessary to connect the compressor station to Tennessee’s existing pipeline. Following construction, the ground surfaces immediately surrounding the facility and within the proposed fence line will be converted to gravel and maintained lawn to facilitate maintenance of a clear and accessible operational area. 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 2 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 are considered during the preparation of the EA. State and local government representatives are encouraged to notify their constituents of this proposed action and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as results of the construction and operation of the proposed project under these general headings: • Geology and soils; • Land use; • Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands; • Cultural resources • Vegetation and wildlife; • Air quality and noise • Reliability and 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. 2 ‘‘We’’, ‘‘us’’, and ‘‘our’’ refer to the environmental staff of the Commission’s Office of Energy Projects.
