[Docket No. CP15–137–000]
Rockies Express Pipeline LLC; Notice
of Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed Zone 3
Capacity Enhancement Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Zone 3 Capacity Enhancement Project,
proposed by Rockies Express Pipeline
LLC (REX) in the above-referenced
docket. REX requests authorization to
construct and operate natural gas
compression facilities in Fayette,
Pickaway, Muskingum, and Warren
Counties, Ohio and Decatur County,
Indiana. The REX Zone 3 Capacity
Enhancement Project would provide an
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
additional 800 million cubic feet per
day of east-to-west transportation
service.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Zone
3 Capacity Enhancement Project in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act. 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 proposed REX Zone 3 Capacity
Enhancement Project includes the
following facilities:
• One new 49,428 horsepower (hp)
compressor station in Pickaway County,
Ohio (Columbus Compressor Station);
• one new 31,791 hp compressor
station in Fayette County, Ohio
(Washington Court House Compressor
Station);
• one new 37,038 hp compressor
station in Decatur County, Indiana (St.
Paul Compressor Station);
• an additional 38,400 hp of
compression, gas cooling facilities, and
a new power and control building at the
existing Chandlersville Compressor
Station in Muskingum County, Ohio;
and
• gas cooling facilities and a new
power and control building at the
existing Hamilton Compressor Station
in Warren County, Ohio.
The FERC staff mailed copies of the
EA to federal, state, and local
government representatives and
agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and
other interested individuals and groups;
newspapers and libraries in the project
area; and parties to this proceeding. In
addition, the EA is available for public
viewing on the FERC’s Web site
(www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link.
A limited number of copies of the EA
are available for distribution and public
inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, Public Reference Room,
888 First Street NE., Room 2A,
Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502–8371.
Any person wishing to comment on
the EA may do so. Your comments
should focus on the potential
environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or
lessen environmental impacts. The more
specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. To ensure that the
Commission has the opportunity to
consider your comments prior to
making its decision on this project, it is
important that we receive your

The Commission grants affected
landowners and others with
environmental concerns intervenor
status upon showing good cause by
stating that they have a clear and direct
interest in this proceeding which no
other party can adequately represent.

will not give you intervenor status, but
you do not need intervenor status to
have your comments considered.

Commission
[Project No. 14655–000]
Cat Creek Energy, LLC; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On December 12, 2014, Cat Creek
Energy, LLC (Cat Creek) filed an
application for a preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act, proposing to study the
feasibility of the Cat Creek Energy
Generation Facility Pumped Storage
Hydroelectric Project (Cat Creek
project). The project would be located at
the US Bureau of Reclamation’s
(Reclamation) Anderson Ranch
reservoir 1 on the South Fork of the
Boise River near Mountain Home in
Elmore County, Idaho.
The sole purpose of a preliminary
permit, if issued, is to grant the permit
holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A
preliminary permit does not authorize
the permit holder to perform any landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter
1 On November 24, 2014, Owyhee Hydro, LLC
also filed a preliminary permit to use the Anderson
Ranch reservoir as a lower reservoir for the
Anderson Ranch Pumped Storage Hydroelectric
Project (P–14648), and thus may be competing for
the same water resource.

upon lands or waters owned by others
without the owners’ express permission.
On December 19, 2014, the
Commission asked Reclamation to
confirm that non-federal development is
authorized at the Anderson Ranch site.
On January 30, 2015, Reclamation
responded stating that it retains
jurisdiction over hydropower
development at the Anderson Ranch
dam, reservoir, and powerhouse, which
are part of Reclamation’s Boise Project.
On June 8, 2015, the Commission
responded and agreed with
Reclamation’s jurisdictional decision
over hydropower development at the
Boise Project’s Anderson Ranch dam,
powerhouse, and reservoir. However,
the Commission would retain
jurisdiction for hydropower facilities
that would be located outside of
Reclamation’s development. Thus, an
entity seeking to build a hydropower
project that would use Reclamation’s
Boise Project facilities would need to
obtain a lease of power privilege from
Reclamation, but it also would need to
obtain a license from the Commission
for those facilities of the hydropower
project that are not under Reclamation’s
jurisdiction.
On August 21, 2015, Cat Creek filed
minor revisions to the original Cat Creek
project permit application. The revised
Cat Creek project would use the existing
Anderson Ranch reservoir, and would
consist of the following new facilities:
(1) A 3.4-mile-long, 80-foot-high earthen
dam; (2) a 38,000-acre-foot
impoundment as an upper reservoir; (3)
two, 5,600-foot-long, 22-foot-diameter
steel penstocks; (4) two, 100-footdiameter concrete silos; (5) two, 200megawatt vertical Francis turbines/
generators; (6) an 8.0-mile-long, 230kilovolt transmission line
interconnecting with the existing
Bonneville Power Administration Dixie
Substation; (7) an approximately 3.6mile-long access road; and (8)
appurtenant facilities. The estimated
annual generation of the Cat Creek
project would be 1,401.6 gigawatt-hours.
