Northern requests authorization to abandon a portion of its existing pipeline in-place and to construct, operate, and maintain new natural gas facilities in Dakota and Dixon Counties, Nebraska, and Lincoln and Union Counties, South Dakota. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the South Sioux City to Sioux Falls A-line Replacement 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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:36 Jan 08, 2021 Jkt 253001 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers participated as a cooperating agency 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 proposed Project includes the following: • Construction of 82.2 miles of 12inch-diameter pipeline in Nebraska and South Dakota (A-line); • construction of 3.2 miles of 12-inchdiameter pipeline in South Dakota (SDM97701 Tie-Over); • construction of 1.9 miles of 3-inchdiameter pipeline in Nebraska (Ponca Branch Line); • abandonment in-place of 79.2 miles of 14- and 16-inch-diameter pipeline in Nebraska and South Dakota (A-line); • abandonment in-place of 0.2 mile of 2-inch-diameter pipeline in Nebraska (Ponca Branch Line); • abandonment in-place of 0.1 mile of 2-inch-diameter pipeline in Nebraska (Jackson Branch Line); and • construction and modification of aboveground facilities, including valves, regulators, metering facilities, pig launchers and receivers,1 an odorizer, and town border station sites. The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability to federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and groups; and newspapers and libraries in the project area. The EA is only available in electronic format. It may be viewed and downloaded from the FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov), on the natural gas environmental documents page (https:// www.ferc.gov/industries-data/naturalgas/environment/environmentaldocuments).
