Alliance Pipeline, L.P.; Notice of
Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed Tioga
Lateral Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Tioga Lateral Project, proposed by
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:18 Jul 19, 2012
Jkt 226001
Alliance Pipeline L.P. (Alliance) in the
above-referenced docket. Alliance
requests authorization to construct and
operate approximately 79.3 miles of
new 12-inch-diameter natural gas
pipeline lateral and appurtenant
facilities in Williams, Mountrail, Burke,
and Renville Counties, North Dakota.
The Tioga Lateral Project would be
designed and constructed to provide
about 106.5 million cubic feet per day
of new transportation capacity to the
Chicago market area.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Tioga
Lateral 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 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS) and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (COE) participated as
cooperating agencies in the preparation
of the EA. Cooperating agencies have

The proposed Tioga Lateral Project
includes the following facilities:
• Approximately 79.3 miles of 12inch-diameter natural gas pipeline
crossing portions of Williams,
Mountrail, Burke, Ward, and Renville
Counties, North Dakota;
• A 6,000 horsepower compressor
station (Tioga Compressor Station)
containing three natural gas-driven
engines/compressors in Williams
County;
• One meter station within the
proposed compressor station site in
Williams County;
• One pressure regulating station
adjacent to the existing Alliance
mainline in Renville County;
• One pig 1 launcher at the proposed
compressor station site and one pig
receiver at the pressure regulating
station site; and
• Five mainline block valves.
1 A ‘‘pig’’ is a tool that is inserted into and moves
through the pipeline, and is used for cleaning the
pipeline, internal inspections, or other purposes.
