Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC; Eastern
Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc.
Notice of Intent To Prepare a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement and Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review for the
Proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline
Disposition and Restoration Plan And
Supply Header Project Restoration
Plan
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:05 May 07, 2021
Jkt 253001
Commission) will prepare a
supplemental environmental impact
statement (supplemental EIS) that will
discuss the environmental impacts
resulting from Atlantic Coast Pipeline,
LLC’s (Atlantic) Atlantic Coast Pipeline
Disposition and Restoration Plan and
Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage,
Inc.’s (EGTS) 1 Supply Header Project
Restoration Plan.2 The Commission will
use this supplemental EIS in its
decision-making process to determine
whether Atlantic’s and EGTS’ proposals
are in the public interest.
The National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to
take into account the environmental
impacts that could result from its action
whenever it considers whether or not to
authorize a project or proposal. NEPA
also requires the Commission to
discover concerns the public may have
about proposed actions. This process is
referred to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal
of the scoping process is to focus the
analysis in the supplemental EIS on the
important environmental issues.
On March 2, 2021, the Commission
issued a Notice of Amendment of
Certificates and Opening of Scoping
Period regarding the proposed
restoration activities associated with the
Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) and
Supply Header Project (SHP). That
notice opened a public scoping period
of 45 days to gather input from the
public and interested agencies regarding
both projects.
Summary of the Proposed Project
Actions
Atlantic requests authorization to
implement its strategy for the
restoration of ACP project workspaces
in compliance with associated permits,
authorizations, and legal agreements.
For the pipeline, Atlantic proposes to
abandon in place all installed pipe
(approximately 31.4 miles of the
pipeline right-of-way) and restore lands
that were cleared and graded
(approximately 82.7 miles of the
pipeline right-of-way), and seeks
exemptions to the restoration of certain
lands, to include leaving felled trees in
place in areas where trees have not yet
been cleared (approximately 25 miles of
1 On November 1, 2020, Dominion Energy sold
certain companies, including Dominion Energy
Transmission, Inc. (the Supply Header Project
developer), to Berkshire Hathaway Energy
Company; and Dominion Energy Transmission, Inc.
changed its name to Eastern Gas Transmission and
Storage, Inc.
2 The Atlantic Coast Pipeline Disposition and
Restoration Plan and the Supply Header Project
Restoration Plan were submitted in response to
Commission staff’s October 27, 2020 Data Request
and can be found on FERC’s eLibrary at accession
numbers 20210104–5278 and 20201120–5243.

the pipeline right-of-way). For ACP
aboveground facilities, Atlantic
proposes to restore the sites, and
manage the disposition of the materials
and land through an investment
recovery process.
EGTS requests authorization to
implement its strategy for the
restoration of SHP workspaces in
compliance with associated permits,
authorizations, and legal agreements.
EGTS plans to leave in place all
previously installed pipe
(approximately 11.7 miles) and
complete final restoration of
approximately 9 miles of the pipeline
right-of-way that EGTS has previously
cleared and/or graded. EGTS owns the
properties on which SHP aboveground
facilities are located and proposes to
stabilize all facility sites and prepare
assets for long term preservation.
The Supplemental EIS Process and
Identified Issues
The supplemental EIS will discuss
impacts that could occur as a result of
the proposed activities related to the
disposition of the projects and
restoration of the project workspaces. To
date, we have identified potential
environmental concerns related to
Atlantic’s and EGTS’ proposals to leave
felled trees in place and abandon
installed pipe, and potential impacts on
wetlands and waterbodies from
restoration activities. As a result, the
supplemental EIS will include a
reevaluation of mitigation associated
with the restoration activities previously
analyzed for the construction of the ACP
and SHP.3 The supplemental EIS will
also consider revisions to land use, air
emissions, and noise levels.
Commission staff will also evaluate
reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project amendments or portions of the
proposals and make recommendations
on how to lessen or avoid impacts on
the various resource areas.
The supplemental EIS will present
Commission staff’s independent
analysis of the issues. The draft
supplemental EIS will be available in
electronic format in the public record
through eLibrary 4 and the
Commission’s natural gas
environmental documents web page
(https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/
