Summary of the Proposed Project Dominion is proposing to extend the perimeter of its Woodhull Natural Gas Storage Pool (Pool) existing boundary by an additional 2,000 feet, impacting 5,472.27 acres below ground surface (bgs). Located in the Oriskany Sandstone geologic formation 3,995 feet bgs and capped by Marcellus Shale and Onondaga Limestone Formations 30 feet above, Dominion contends that extending the perimeter would protect the Pool from encroachment from third parties drilling into the Marcellus Shale and potentially jeopardizing the sealing/ trapping geology of the natural gas storage zone.

[Docket No. CP11-493-000]




Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Woodhull Storage Pool 

Boundary Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues



    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 proposed Woodhull Storage Pool 

Boundary Project (Project) involving Dominion Transmission, Inc.'s 

(Dominion) extension of the certificated boundary of the Woodhull 

Natural Gas Storage Pool in Steuben County, New York. The EA will be 

used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine 

whether the



[[Page 39866]]



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 Amendment. 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 July 29, 2011.

    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental 

mailing list for the Project Amendment. State and local government 

representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this 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 Dominion representative about the acquisition or modification 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, Dominion could 

initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be 

determined in accordance with state or federal 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 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 Proposed Project



    Dominion is proposing to extend the perimeter of its Woodhull 

Natural Gas Storage Pool (Pool) existing boundary by an additional 

2,000 feet, impacting 5,472.27 acres below ground surface (bgs). 

Located in the Oriskany Sandstone geologic formation 3,995 feet bgs and 

capped by Marcellus Shale and Onondaga Limestone Formations 30 feet 

above, Dominion contends that extending the perimeter would protect the 

Pool from encroachment from third parties drilling into the Marcellus 

Shale and potentially jeopardizing the sealing/trapping geology of the 

natural gas storage zone.



Land Requirements



    No facilities would be constructed; therefore there would be no 

impact on the surface. Dominion's proposal would only enlarge the 

Pool's current boundary by 2,000 feet creating a buffer zone around the 

Pool.

    The general location of the proposed facilities is shown in 

Appendix 1.



The EA Process



    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the 

Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could 

result from the issuance or amendment of a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us \1\ 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 be addressed in the EA. All comments received will be 

considered during the preparation of the EA.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



    \1\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff 

of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of 

the storage field extension. We will also evaluate possible 

alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project.

    Our independent analysis of the issues will be presented in the EA. 

The EA will be placed in the public record, and depending on the 

comments received during the scoping process, may be published and 

distributed to the public. A comment period will be allotted if the EA 

is published for review. We will consider all comments on the EA before 

we make our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments 

are considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public 

Participation section beginning on page 4.

    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction and/or 

special expertise with respect to environmental issues to formally 

cooperate with us in the preparation of the EA. These agencies may 

choose to participate once they have evaluated the proposal relative to 

their responsibilities. Agencies that would like to request cooperating 

agency status should follow the instructions for filing comments 

provided under the Public Participation section of this notice.
