The proposed project is known as the Line 8000 Replacement Project (Project) and is part of Columbia’s multi-year, comprehensive modernization program. The Project would not increase capacity and would continue to serve the Maryland distribution markets. According to Columbia, its Project would increase system reliability, thereby greatly reducing the risk of interruptions to Columbia’s customers. On November 17, 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 PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 35633 Assessment (EA) for the Project.

Project Description The Line 8000 Replacement Project would consist of: • Replacement of about 13.25 miles of existing 12-inch-diameter bare steel pipeline, with approximately 13.54 miles of new, coated 12-inch-diameter natural gas transmission pipeline in five sections and four modification points along Line 8000 and Lateral Line 8006; • replacement of about 0.54 miles of existing 4-inch-diameter bare steel pipeline, with approximately 0.67 miles of new coated 4-inch-diameter natural gas transmission pipeline along Lateral Lines 8225 and 8244; • installation of two new pig 1 launcher and receiver sites and four new mainline valves associated with pipeline facilities; • modifications/abandonment of three existing mainline valves and three existing side tap valve sites; • modification of tie-ins at two regulator stations; and • abandonment of 13 active residential taps and 109 inactive taps. Background On December 19, 2017, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Line 8000 Replacement 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 Columbia Gas of Maryland, Inc., Direct Energy Business Marketing, LLC, the West Virginia Division of Culture and History, the Maryland Department of Environment, and one landowner.
