Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company;
Dominion Gas Transmission, Inc.;
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Northeast Supply
Diversification and Ellisburg to Craigs
Projects
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company’s
(TGP) proposed Northeast Supply
Diversification Project (TGP’s Project)
and Dominion Transmission, Inc.’s
(DTI) proposed Ellisburg to Craigs
Project (DTI’s Project) in the above
referenced dockets. TGP and DTI
request authorization to construct
facilities in Pennsylvania and New York
to provide an additional 250,000
dekatherms per day to the northeast
region. Because both companies would
construct its proposed facilities to
provide these additional volumes, we
analyzed them jointly in one EA.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of TGP’s and
DTI’s Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed projects, with appropriate
mitigating measures, would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The New York State Department of
Agriculture and Markets participated as

a cooperating agency in the preparation
of the EA. Cooperating agencies have
jurisdiction by law or special expertise
with respect to resources potentially
affected by the proposal and participate
in the NEPA analysis.
TGP’s Project includes the following
facilities:
• Approximately 6.77 miles of 30inch-diameter loop 1 pipeline in Tioga
and Bradford Counties, Pennsylvania
including a new pig 2 receiver at
existing Compressor Station 317;
• Modifications at existing
Compressor Station 230C in Niagara
County, New York; and
• Modifications to existing meter
stations in Erie, Livingston, and Niagara
Counties, New York and Bradford
County, Pennsylvania.
DTI’s Project consists of the following
facilities:
• One new 10,800 horsepower
compressor station in Wyoming County,
New York;
• One new meter station in
Livingston County, New York;
• Replacement of approximately
2,800 feet of 8-inch-diameter pipeline
with 16-inch-diameter pipeline in
Livingston County, New York; and
• Modifications to three existing
meter stations in Livingston County,
New York and Potter County,
Pennsylvania.
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; environmental and public
interest groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and
other interested individuals and groups;
newspapers and libraries in the project
area; and parties to this proceeding.
Any person wishing to comment on
the EA may do so. Your comments
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

to another pipeline, typically in the same right-ofway, for the purpose of increasing capacity in this
