construction and operation of the
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 Project includes the
following facilities:
• A 0.5-mile-long new pipeline lateral
(BIG Interconnect) connecting the
proposed new Angleton Compressor
Station to the existing BIG Pipeline in
Brazoria County, Texas;
• the new Angleton Compressor
Station, a 12,500 horsepower
electrically-powered compressor station
in Brazoria County, Texas;
• pressure regulation modifications at
the existing Joaquin Compressor Station
in Shelby County, Texas;
• installation of Clean Burn
technologies at the existing Mont
Belvieu Compressor Station in
Chambers County, Texas;
• modifications to existing pig 1
launchers at the existing Huntsville
Compressor Station, in San Jacinto
County, Texas; and Hempstead
Compressor Station in Waller County,
Texas;
• modifications to an existing pig
launcher/receiver, facility crossover
piping and a valve at the existing
Provident City Station in Lavaca
County, Texas:
• a new aboveground wire-line
launcher/receiver assembly site and
interconnect valve site near milepost 0.5
of the BIG Interconnect Pipeline in
Brazoria County, Texas; and
• replacement of existing 16-inchdiameter crossover piping and valve
with new 24-inch-diameter crossover
piping and valve at an existing facility
in Lavaca County, Texas.
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;
and newspapers and libraries in the
project area. 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.

Commission
[Docket No. CP17–409–000]
DTE Midstream Appalachia, LLC;
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review of the Birdsboro Pipeline
Project
On May 1, 2017, DTE Midstream
Appalachia, LLC (DTE) filed an
application in Docket No. CP17–409–
000 requesting a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity pursuant to
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to
construct and operate certain natural gas
pipeline facilities. The proposed project
is known as the Birdsboro Pipeline
Project (Project), and would provide
approximately 79 million cubic feet per
day of firm transportation service from
an interconnect with the Texas Eastern
Transmission Company pipeline system
to the Birdsboro Power Facility in
Birdsboro, Pennsylvania.
On May 9, 2017, the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission or
FERC) issued its Notice of Application
for the Project. Among other things, that
notice alerted agencies issuing federal
authorizations of the requirement to
complete all necessary reviews and to
reach a final decision on 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 instant notice
identifies the FERC staff’s planned
schedule for the completion of the EA
for the Project.

If a schedule change becomes

are kept informed of the Project’s
progress.
Project Description
DTE is seeking to construct and
operate approximately 13.2 miles of 12inch-diameter natural gas transmission
pipeline in Berks County, Pennsylvania.
The Project would also involve
construction of a new meter station and
appurtenant facilities. The Project
would deliver firm transportation
service from an interconnect with the
Texas Eastern Transmission Company
pipeline system in Rockland Township
to the Birdsboro Power Facility in the
Borough of Birdsboro.
Background
On January 18, 2017, the Commission
issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Planned Birdsboro Pipeline Project, and
Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues, and Notice of
Public Scoping Session (NOI). The NOI
was issued during the pre-filing review
of the Project in Docket No. PF17–1–000
and 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. Army Corps of Engineers,
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, the Stockbridge Munsee Tribal
Historic Preservation Officer, the
Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection, the
Pennsylvania Game Commission, Berks
County, and multiple non-governmental
organizations and members of the
public. The primary issues raised by the
commentors are cultural and historic
resources, including the Oley Township
Historic District; construction of the
non-jurisdictional Birdsboro Power
Plant; geologic concerns, including karst
terrain and blasting at an existing
quarry; and impacts on streams,
wetlands, and wildlife habitat.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency are cooperating agencies in the
preparation of the EA.
Additional Information
In order to receive notification of the
issuance of the EA and to keep track of
all formal issuances and submittals in
specific dockets, the Commission offers
a free service called eSubscription. This
can reduce the amount of time you
