Download as PDF srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 18, 2011 / Notices (Equitrans) in the above referenced docket. This Project expands Equitrans’ natural gas pipeline system in Pennsylvania and West Virginia in order to increase the natural gas delivery capacity to the northeast region of the United States by approximately 313,560 dekatherms per day and improve the reliability of its existing system. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the Project construction and operation in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the Project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The proposed Sunrise Pipeline Project includes the following facilities in Greene County, Pennsylvania and Wetzel County, West Virginia: • Approximately 44.4 miles of new pipeline varying from 16-inch to 24inch-diameter, 2.6 miles of replacement pipeline, and retesting and uprating of 4.8 miles of pipeline; • One new compressor station in Jefferson Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania; • Aboveground facilities consisting of 5 interconnect sites (meter stations), 12 mainline block valves, 4 pig 1 launchers/ receivers, 2 over-pipeline protection facilities, and 1 side tap valve setting; and • Temporary and permanent access roads and temporary storage and contractor yards. 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 Regulatory Energy 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 agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; local libraries and newspapers; intervenors to the FERC’s proceedings; and affected landowners, potentially affected landowners, and other interested individuals and groups.
