Texas Eastern requests authorization to abandon in place and by removal approximately 165 miles of existing, idle, Line 1 pipeline that runs from Fayette County, Ohio, to Greene County, Pennsylvania. Specifically, Texas Eastern is proposing to abandon portions of the Line 1 pipeline that were placed into idle service in 1989 including three segments of 24-inch pipeline, associated lateral lines 10–L and 10–M, metering and regulating facilities, and other related aboveground facilities. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the abandonment of the Idle Line 1 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers participated as a cooperating agency in the preparation of the EA. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis.
