The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
that will discuss the environmental
impacts of the MVP Southgate Project
(Project). The Project involves the
construction and operation of facilities
by Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC
(Mountain Valley), a joint venture
between affiliates of EQT Corporation
and NextEra Energy, Inc. in Virginia and
North Carolina. The Commission will
use this EIS in its decision-making
process to determine whether the
Project is in the public convenience and
necessity.
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process the Commission
will use to gather input from the public
and interested agencies about issues
regarding the Project. The National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
requires the Commission to take into
account the environmental impacts that
could result from its action whenever it
considers the issuance of a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity.
NEPA also requires the Commission to
discover concerns the public may have
about proposals. This process is referred
to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis
in the EIS on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the
Commission requests public comments
on the scope of the issues to address in
the EIS. To ensure that your comments
are timely and properly recorded, please
submit your comments so that the
Commission receives them in
Washington, DC on or before 5 p.m.
Eastern Time on September 10, 2018.
You can make a difference by
submitting your specific comments or
concerns about the Project. Your
comments should focus on the potential
environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or
lessen environmental impacts. Your
input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues it needs to
evaluate in the EIS. Commission staff
will consider all filed comments during
the preparation of the EIS.

If you sent comments on this Project
to the Commission before the opening of
this docket on May 15, 2018, or if you
sent comments on this Project to the
MVP mainline docket (CP16–10–000),
you will need to file those comments in
Docket No. PF18–4–000 to ensure they
are considered as part of this
proceeding.
This notice is being sent to the
Commission’s current environmental
mailing list for this Project. State and
local government representatives should
notify their constituents of this planned
Project and encourage them to comment
on their areas of concern.
If you are a landowner receiving this
notice, a Mountain Valley representative
may contact you about the acquisition of
an easement to construct, operate, and
maintain the planned facilities. The
company would seek to negotiate a
mutually acceptable easement
agreement. You are not required to enter
into an agreement. However, if the
Commission approves the Project, that
approval conveys with it the right of
eminent domain. Therefore, if you and
the company do not reach an easement
agreement, the pipeline company could
initiate condemnation proceedings in
court. In such instances, compensation
would be determined by a judge in
accordance with state law.
A fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas
Facility On My Land? What Do I Need
To Know?’’ is available for viewing on
the FERC website (www.ferc.gov). This
fact sheet addresses a number of
typically asked questions, including the
use of eminent domain and how to
participate in the Commission’s
proceedings.
Public Participation
For your convenience, there are four
methods you can use to submit your
comments to the Commission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing
of comments and has staff available to
assist you at (866) 208–3676 or
FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. Please
carefully follow these instructions so
that your comments are properly
recorded.
(1) You can file your comments
electronically using the eComment
feature, which is located on the
Commission’s website (www.ferc.gov)
under the link to Documents and
