transportation capacity to a delivery
point further downstream.
On July 19, 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.
Schedule for Environmental Review
Issuance of EA—November 27, 2017.
90-day Federal Authorization Decision
Deadline—February 25, 2018.
If a schedule change becomes
necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies
are kept informed of the Project’s
progress.
Project Description
The Project would involve
construction and replacement of
approximately 8.46 miles of pipeline to
upsize or loop four segments of Paiute’s
Carson and South Tahoe Laterals in
Douglas and Lyon Counties and Carson
City, Nevada. For the two segments
where pipeline would be replaced,
portions of the existing pipeline would
be abandoned in-place and by removal.
Background
On January 26, 2017, the Commission
issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Planned 2018 Expansion Project and
Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues (NOI). The NOI
was issued during the pre-filing review
of the Project in Docket No. PF17–2 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 a
total of four comment letters from the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the
Nevada State Clearinghouse, the
Teamsters National Pipeline Training
Fund, and one individual. The scoping
comments pertained to permitting and
consultation processes, information on
union pipeline contractors, potential
effects on the Carson River and other
state of Nevada properties, air quality
(dust), and stormwater drainage.
