of the Environmental Assessment for
the Proposed Fm100 and Leidy South

The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
FM100 Project and the Leidy South
Project (collectively referred to as the
Projects), proposed by National Fuel Gas
Supply Corporation (National Fuel) and
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC (Transco), respectively,
in the above-referenced dockets.

natural gas facilities in McKean and
Potter Counties; install new compressor
stations in McKean and Clinton
Counties; abandon existing pipeline
facilities in Cameron, Clearfield, Elk,
and Potter Counties; and abandon an
existing compressor station in Potter
County (all in Pennsylvania), to
modernize National Fuel’s existing
transmission system and provide an
additional 330,000 dekatherms per day
(Dth/d) of incremental natural gas
transportation capacity to Transco.
Transco requests authorization to
construct, operate, and maintain new
natural gas facilities in Clinton and
Lycoming Counties; install new
compressor stations in Luzerne and
Schuylkill Counties; add additional
compression at existing compressor
stations in Wyoming and Columbia
Counties; and abandon an existing
pipeline in Clinton County (all in
Pennsylvania), to provide 582,400 Dth/
d of firm natural gas transportation
service from shale producing areas in
northern and western Pennsylvania to
Transco’s industrial, commercial, and
residential customers in the eastern
United States.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Projects in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that
approval of the proposed Projects, with
appropriate mitigating measures, would
not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(Baltimore and Pittsburgh Districts) and
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency participated as cooperating
agencies in the preparation of the EA.
Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction
by law or special expertise with respect
to resources potentially affected by the
proposal and participate in the NEPA
analysis.
The Projects would include the
following facilities (all located in
Pennsylvania):
FM100 Project
• Approximately 29.5 miles of new
20-inch-diameter pipeline in McKean
and Potter Counties (Line YM58);
