Columbia requests authorization to abandon and replace natural gas pipeline facilities in Pike County, Pennsylvania and Orange County, New York. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Line 1278–Line K Expansion Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). 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.
