[Docket No. CP12–72–000]
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Allegheny Storage Project;
Dominion Transmission, Incorporated
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
Allegheny Storage Project, proposed by
Dominion Transmission, Incorporated
(DTI) in the above-referenced docket.
DTI requests authorization to construct
pipeline facilities in Maryland, Ohio,
West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The
project would increase natural gas
storage capacity along DTI’s system by
125,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) and
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

increase firm transportation service by
115,000 Dth/d.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Allegheny Storage Project in accordance
with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (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 Allegheny Storage
Project includes the following facilities:
• A new 16,000-horsepower (hp)
Myersville Compressor Station, 0.6-mile
of 30-inch-diameter suction and
discharge pipelines, a new valve site,
and upgrades at the existing Tuscarora
Metering and Regulating (M&R) Station
in Frederick County, Maryland;
• A new 3,550-hp Mullett
Compressor Station, 0.5-mile of 16-inchdiameter suction and 10-inch-diameter
discharge pipelines, and upgrades at the
existing Mullett 1 M&R Station in
Monroe County, Ohio;
• Installation of additional
dehydration at the existing Wolf Run
Compressor Station in Lewis County,
West Virginia; and
• 1.8 miles of 16-inch-diameter
replacement pipeline, 1.3 miles of 20inch-diameter replacement pipeline,
and installation of ancillary equipment
at the Sabinsville Storage Station in
Tioga County, Pennsylvania.
The FERC staff mailed copies of the
EA 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. In
addition, the EA is available for public
viewing on the FERC’s Web site
(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.
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
they will be. To ensure that the
