Texas Eastern Gas Transmission, LP;
Notice of Availability of the Final
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Middlesex Extension Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Middlesex Extension Project proposed
by Texas Eastern Transmission, LP
(Texas Eastern) in the above-referenced
docket. Texas Eastern requests
authorization pursuant to section 7(c) of
the Natural Gas Act and part 157 of the
Commission’s regulations to construct,
operate, and maintain natural gas
pipeline facilities in Middlesex County,
New Jersey. The facilities would
provide 264 million cubic feet per day
of natural gas transportation to
interconnects with Transcontinental Gas
Pipe Line Company, LLC’s Mainline
System and existing Woodbridge Lateral
for ultimate delivery to the 725Megawatt natural gas-fueled combinedcycle Woodbridge Energy Center owned
by CPV Shore Holdings, LLC in
Woodbridge Township, New Jersey.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of construction
and operation of the Middlesex
Extension Project in accordance with
the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. The FERC
staff concludes that approval of the
proposed project, with appropriate
mitigation measures, would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.

Mainline E Tie-in;
• metering and regulating facilities;
• pipe inspection tool facilities

Notice of Availability to federal, state,
