a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance
of the Commission staff’s Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the Project. This

Project Description
Southern would upgrade and
construct certain compression and
pipeline facilities in Fayetteville and
Fulton Counties, Georgia (including
installing a new 4.9-mile-long 30-inchdiameter Fairburn Lateral and the new
18,000-horsepower electric Fairburn
Compressor Station); and Clayton and
Cobb Counties Georgia.
Background
On March 20, 2017, the Commission
issued a Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Fairburn Expansion Project
and Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues (NOI). The NOI
was sent to affected landowners; federal,
state, and local government agencies;
elected officials; environmental and
public interest groups; Native American
tribes; other interested parties; and local
libraries and newspapers. In response to
the NOI, the Commission received
comments from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and five
landowners. The primary issues raised
by the commentors are safety and
residential impacts during construction,
and operational safety in association
with electric power line collocation.
The EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers are cooperating agencies in
the preparation of the EA.
