Transco requests authorization to construct and operate about 7.7 miles of new natural gas pipeline located along the existing Transco Mainline, expand three existing compressor stations in Virginia, and modify 21 existing facilities in South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Southeastern Trail 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 specific facilities proposed as part of the Southeastern Trail Project are as follows: b Manassas Loop in Fauquier and Prince William Counties, Virginia: Construction of approximately 7.7 miles VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:54 Feb 13, 2019 Jkt 247001 of new 42-inch-diameter pipeline loop,1 co-located along the Transco Mainline from milepost 1568.13 to 1575.85; b Compressor Station 185 in Prince William County, Virginia: Uprating the existing electric-driven compression unit driver from 25,000 to 30,000 horsepower (HP); b Compressor Station 175 in Fluvanna County, Virginia: Installing one new 22,490 HP turbine-driven compression unit, uprating the existing electric-driven compression unit driver from 33,000 to 41,250 HP; b Compressor Station 165 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia: Installing two new 22,490 HP turbine-driven compression units and abandoning 10 compressor units (totaling 20,000 HP) and related equipment; b flow reversal modifications and/or deodorization modifications at: Æ Compressor Station 65 in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana; Æ Compressor Station 115 in Coweta County, Georgia; Æ Compressor Station 116 in Carroll County, Georgia; Æ Compressor Station 120 in Henry County, Georgia; Æ Compressor Station 125 in Walton County, Georgia; Æ Compressor Station 130 in Madison County, Georgia; Æ Compressor Station 135 in Anderson County, South Carolina; Æ Compressor Station 140 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina; and Æ installation of deodorization facilities at 13 existing mainline valve facilities in South Carolina and Georgia along the Transco Mainline.
