The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
East Lateral XPress Project, proposed by
Columbia Gulf Transmission, LLC
(Columbia Gulf) in the above-referenced
docket. Columbia Gulf requests
authorization to construct and operate
two new compressor stations, a new
meter station, and other appurtenant
facilities, to provide 725 million
standard cubic feet per day of firm
transportation capacity to supply feed
gas for Venture Global Plaquemines
LNG, LLC’s liquefied natural gas facility
in Plaquemines Parish.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the East
Lateral XPress Project in accordance
with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. 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 proposed East Lateral XPress
Project includes the following facilities:
• 8.1 miles of 30-inch-diameter
pipeline lateral within Barataria Bay in
Jefferson and Plaquemines Parish,
Louisiana;
• 23,470-horsepower (hp) compressor
station at an abandoned Columbia Gulf

compressor station site in St. Mary
Parish, Louisiana (Centerville
Compressor Station);
• 23,470-hp compressor station
adjacent to an existing tie-in facility in
Lafourche Parish, Louisiana (Golden
Meadow Compressor Station);
• point of delivery meter station in
Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana; and
• tie-in facility with two mainline
valves and other appurtenances on a
new platform in Barataria Bay, Jefferson
Parish, Louisiana.
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). In addition, the EA may be

environmental issues for the
Commission to consider when
addressing the merits of all issues in
this proceeding. Any person wishing to

comments should focus on the EA’s
disclosure and discussion of potential
environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or
lessen environmental impacts. The more
