In response to scoping comments and data requested by FERC staff, East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC (East Tennessee) has developed Route G–1 as its new proposed route for the above-referenced project in Monroe and Loudon Counties, Tennessee. FERC staff is further evaluating Alternative Route B as described in East Tennessee’s February 20, 2015 filing, the Eastside Alternate Route as described in its May 8, 2015 filing, Alternate Route G as described in its July 10, 2015 filing, as well as the originally proposed route (Route F). This Supplemental Notice is being issued to seek comments on the new Proposed Route G–1 and the alternatives mentioned above, and opens a new scoping period for interested parties to file comments on environmental issues specific to these routes. The March 24, 2015 NOI announced that the FERC staff will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) to address the environmental impacts of the Loudon Expansion Project (Project). Please refer to the NOI for more information about the overall facilities proposed by East Tennessee in Tennessee, and FERC staff’s EA process. The Commission will use the EA in its decision-making process to determine whether the Project is in the public convenience and necessity. We 1 are now specifically seeking comments on the new Proposed Route G–1, Alternate Route B, Alternate Route G, and the Eastside Alternate Route to help the Commission staff evaluates all potential environmental impacts.

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 the easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with state law. A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ is available for viewing on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov). 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.
