Leader One requests authorization to construct and operate the Leader One Gas Storage Field including injection/withdrawal and observation wells, gathering lines, condensate handling facilities, and water disposal facilities; a new 18,000 horsepower compressor station; and about 22.4 miles of 24-inch-diameter pipeline and related facilities all in Adams County, Colorado. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Leader One Gas Storage 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. The proposed Leader One Gas Storage Project includes the following facilities: 15:16 Mar 24, 2011 • Up to fourteen new vertical and/or horizontal gas storage injection/ withdrawal wells; • Evaluation of twelve existing wells for replugging and abandonment as needed in accordance with current state standards, or converting to observation wells; • Up to six new observation wells, depending on the condition of the existing wells; • About 5 miles of various diameter storage field gathering pipelines; • One water disposal well; • About 1.25 miles of water disposal pipeline; • A new 18,000 horsepower compressor station; • An electrical substation within the compressor station fenceline; • Hydrocarbon dew point control and condensate handling equipment; and • Condensate handling equipment at the wellheads. Pipeline Facilities Federal Energy Regulatory Commission VerDate Mar<15>2010 Leader One Gas Storage Field Jkt 223001 • An approximately 17.6-mile-long, 24-inch-diameter natural gas header pipeline, the Leader One Header Pipeline; • An approximately 4.8-mile-long, 24-inch-diameter natural gas header pipeline, the Leader One Header Pipeline Extension; • Four launcher/receiver facilities; and • Yards for construction laydown and support facilities. Ancillary Facilities • Valves, meters, filtration, safety, and cleaning and inspection equipment; and • Buildings, communications and control equipment, emergency generation, and electrical supply. 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 copies of the EA are available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502–8371. Copies of the EA have been mailed to federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; Native American tribes; potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and groups; and newspapers in the project area; and parties to this proceeding. Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 16765 should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To ensure that your comments are properly recorded and considered prior to a Commission decision on the proposal, it is important that the FERC receives your comments in Washington, DC on or before April 18, 2011. For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the project docket number (CP11–33–000) with your submission. The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has dedicated eFiling expert staff available to assist you at (202) 502–8258 or efiling@ferc.gov. (1) You may file your comments electronically by using the eComment feature, which is located on the Commission’s Web site at https:// www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and Filings. An eComment is an easy method for interested persons to submit brief, text-only comments on a project; (2) You may file your comments electronically by using the eFiling feature, which is located on the Commission’s Web site at https:// www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments in a variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your submission. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking on ‘‘eRegister.’’ You will be asked to select the type of filing you are making. A comment on a particular project is considered a ‘‘Comment on a Filing’’; or (3) You may file a paper copy of your comments at the following address: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. Although your comments will be considered by the Commission, simply filing comments will not serve to make the commenter a party to the proceeding. Any person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214).1 Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission’s decision. 1 Interventions may also be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper.
