Texas Eastern requests authorization to construct, modify, operate, and maintain new natural gas pipeline facilities in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi. The project would provide an additional 600,000 dekatherms per day of natural gas to markets along Texas Eastern’s system. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the TEAM 2014 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. Army Corps of Engineers 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. The TEAM 2014 Project involves the following facilities: • Constructing approximately 33.6 miles of 36-inch-diameter natural gas transmission pipeline comprised of seven separate pipeline loops 1 and associated pipeline facilities in Pennsylvania; • horsepower upgrades at four existing compressor stations in Pennsylvania; • and modifications to numerous existing facilities to allow bi-directional flow/transmission of natural gas.
