Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC;
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Tri-County Bare Steel
Replacement Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Tri-County Bare Steel Replacement
Project, proposed by Columbia Gas
Transmission, LLC (Columbia) in the
above-referenced docket. Columbia
requests authorization to replace about
34 miles of bare steel pipe within
Columbia’s existing Line 1570 pipeline
in three replacement segments spanning
Allegheny, Washington, and Greene
Counties (i.e., the Tri-County),
Pennsylvania. The Project is part of
Columbia’s modernization program to
replace segments of existing, aging,
infrastructure in order to improve the
safety of its pipeline system and
increase service reliability.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the TriCounty Bare Steel Replacement 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 proposed Tri-County Bare Steel
Replacement Project includes replacing
34 miles of 20-inch-diameter bare steel
piping with coated steel pipeline at the
following locations:
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
56453
• Segment 1: replace approximately
14 miles with 14.9 miles from the Hero
Valve to Waynesburg Compressor
Station in Greene County.
• Segment 2: replace approximately 8
miles with 10.7 miles from the Redd
Farm Station to Sharp Farm Station in
Washington County.
• Segment 3: replace approximately
12 miles with 11.9 miles from the Sharp
Farm Station in Washington County to
the Walker Farm Station in Washington
and Allegheny Counties.
Total construction length with the
incorporation of minor reroutes is
approximately 34 miles of 20-inchdiameter pipe. The pipeline would also
include associated appurtenant facilities
including bi-directional pig launcher/
receivers, cathodic protection, main line
valves, and taps.
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
comments in Washington, DC on or
before October 14, 2015.
For your convenience, there are three
methods you can use to file your
comments with the Commission. In all
instances, please reference the project
docket number (CP15–95–000) with
your submission. The Commission
encourages electronic filing of
comments and has expert staff available
to assist you at 202–502–8258 or
efiling@ferc.gov.
