4,000-foot-long temporary construction
access road would be used during
construction. In its amendment
application, the licensee proposes to
bury the entire penstock instead,
including the drilling and blasting of a
700-foot-long, 16-foot-diameter tunnel
through which a segment of the
penstock would be routed. In addition,
the licensee proposes changes to the
construction access roads. Staff
prepared an environmental assessment
(EA) which analyzes the potential
environmental effects of the proposed
amendment, and concludes that
amending the license, with appropriate
environmental protective measures,
would not constitute a major federal
action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC; Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Assessment
for the Proposed Woodbridge Delivery
Lateral Project and Request for
Comments on Environmental Issues
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of
the Woodbridge Delivery Lateral Project
involving construction and operation of
facilities by Transcontinental Gas Pipe
Line Company, LLC (Transco) in
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Middlesex County, New Jersey. 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 December
23, 2013.
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.
Transco 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 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
[Docket No. CP14–18–000]
PO 00000
71599
Transco proposes to construct and
operate approximately 2.4 miles of 20inch-diameter natural gas lateral
pipeline in Middlesex County, New
Jersey. In addition, a new meter station
and other appurtenant facilities are
proposed at the terminus of the project.
The Woodbridge Delivery Lateral
Project would provide 264,000
dekatherms per day of natural gas per
day to the Woodbridge Energy Center, a
new gas fired electric generating station.
The general location of the project
facilities is shown in appendix 1.1
