The Commission will use this EA in its decision-making process to determine whether the 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. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EA. Please note that the scoping period will close on August 1, 2013. You may submit comments in written form or verbally. Further details on how to submit written comments are in the Public Participation section of this notice. In lieu of or in addition to sending written comments, the Commission invites you to attend the public scoping meeting(s) scheduled as follows: FERC Public Scoping Meeting Line 1570 Project July 16, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. North Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Company, 565 Sylvan Drive, Washington, Pennsylvania 15301. This notice is being sent to the Commission’s current environmental mailing list for this project. State and local government representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed 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 proposed 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. Columbia provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’. This fact sheet addresses a number of typically-asked questions, including the use of eminent domain PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 41393 and how to participate in the Commission’s proceedings. It is also available for viewing on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov). Summary of the Proposed Project Columbia proposes to construct and operate a new replacement pipeline segment along its existing 20-inchdiameter Line 1570 pipeline system along with modifications at its existing Waynesburg Compressor Station in Greene and Washington Counties, Pennsylvania. The Line 1570 Project would provide about 99,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day to Columbia’s existing Waynesburg Compressor Station in Greene County, Pennsylvania. According to Columbia, its project is part of its overall program to modernize their existing aging infrastructure. The existing Line 1570 system was constructed in 1947. The Line 1570 Project would consist of the following facilities: • approximately 18.52 miles of 24inch-diameter natural gas pipeline; • two mainline valves, seven taps, and two pig launchers/receivers1; and • modifications at the existing Waynesburg Compressor Station including replacing three turbine/ compressor units with one new turbine unit, construction of one new auxiliary building, construction of one new compressor building, and installation of above and below ground ancillary piping. During construction, Columbia would keep the existing Line 1570 in-service in order to still meet its firm transportation obligations to its customers. Once construction of the proposed project is complete, and the new line is placed into service, Columbia would abandon in place the corresponding segment of the existing Line 1570 pipeline. The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix 1.2 Land Requirements for Construction Construction of the proposed facilities would disturb about 223.28 acres of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipeline. Following construction, Columbia would maintain about 59.07 acres for permanent operation of the 1 A ‘‘pig’’ is a tool that the pipeline company inserts into and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning the pipeline, conducting internal inspections, or other purposes. 2 The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in the Federal Register.
