The Commission will use this EA in its decision-making process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity.

State and local government representatives should notify their constituents of this planned project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the Commission approves the project, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with state 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 (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 Planned Project Questar plans to construct and operate up to about 14.7 miles of 16inch-diameter loop pipeline 1 from its Main Lines 40/104 at Pete’s Wash northward to its Brundage Mountain Area receipt point (about 6 miles south of Myton), all in Duchesne County, Utah. The planned loop would be colocated with Questar’s existing Jurisdictional Lateral (JL) 47 and 1 A pipeline loop is a segment of pipe constructed parallel to an existing pipeline to increase capacity. PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Jurisdictional Tie Lateral 78 pipelines except where deviations are necessary to avoid other existing natural gas facilities or terrain constraints. The project would increase transportation capacity by about 60,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day. Questar states its project would provide much-needed capacity to transport Uinta Basin production to major delivery markets. The JL 47 Loop Project would consist of the following facilities: • Up to about 14.7 miles of 16-inchdiameter steel pipeline loop; • A tie-in to Questar’s existing Main Line 40 at Pete’s Wash (milepost 0), consisting of ancillary valves and a pig receiver; 2 • A tap and valve at milepost 12.5 (North Monument Butte Area Tap); and • A meter, ancillary valves, and pig launcher at milepost 14.7 (Brundage Mountain Area Tap). The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix 1.3 Land Requirements for Construction Construction of the planned facilities would disturb about 186 acres of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipeline. A majority of the land required for the project is managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management, Vernal District. Following construction, Questar would maintain about 89 acres for permanent operation of the project’s facilities; the remaining acreage would be restored and revert to former uses. About 82 percent of the planned pipeline route parallels existing pipeline, utility, or road rights-of-way. The EA Process The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to take into account the potential environmental impacts that could result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us 4 to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as scoping.
