Eastern Shore requests authorization to construct, install, own, operate, and maintain certain facilities located in Chester County, Pennsylvania and New Castle, Kent, and Sussex, Counties, Delaware. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the White Oak and System Reliability Projects in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed projects, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Specifically, the proposed White Oak Project includes the following facilities: • 3.3 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping pipeline (the Daleville Loop) in Chester County, Pennsylvania; • 2.1 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping pipeline (Kemblesville Loop) in Chester County, Pennsylvania; and • 3,550 horsepower of additional compression at Eastern Shore’s existing Delaware City Compressor Station in New Castle County, Delaware. Specifically, the proposed System Reliability Project includes the following facilities: • 2.5 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping pipeline (Porter Road Loop) in New Castle County, Delaware; • 7.6 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping pipeline (Dover Loop) in Kent County, Delaware; • installation of associated underground and aboveground facilities (two mainline valves, a meter and regulator station); and • an additional 1,775 horsepower of compression at Eastern Shore’s existing Bridgeville Compressor Station in Sussex County, Delaware. 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 each 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.

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Availability of the 
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed White Oak Mainline Expansion 
Project and System Reliability Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the White 
Oak Mainline Expansion (White Oak) Project and System Reliability 
Project, proposed by Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company (Eastern Shore) 
in the above-referenced docket. Eastern Shore requests authorization to 
construct, install, own, operate, and maintain certain facilities 
located in Chester County, Pennsylvania and New Castle, Kent, and 
Sussex, Counties, Delaware.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the White Oak and System Reliability 
Projects in accordance with the requirements of the National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval

not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    Specifically, the proposed White Oak Project includes the following 
facilities:
     3.3 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping pipeline (the 
Daleville Loop) in Chester County, Pennsylvania;
     2.1 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping pipeline 
(Kemblesville Loop) in Chester County, Pennsylvania; and
     3,550 horsepower of additional compression at Eastern 
Shore's existing Delaware City Compressor Station in New Castle County, 
Delaware.
    Specifically, the proposed System Reliability Project includes the 
following facilities:
     2.5 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping pipeline (Porter 
Road Loop) in New Castle County, Delaware;
     7.6 miles of 16-inch-diameter looping pipeline (Dover 
Loop) in Kent County, Delaware;
     installation of associated underground and aboveground 
facilities (two mainline valves, a meter and regulator station); and
     an additional 1,775 horsepower of compression at Eastern 
Shore's existing Bridgeville Compressor Station in Sussex County, 
Delaware.
    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 each project area; and parties to 
this proceeding.
