Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company,
LLC; Southern Natural Gas Company,
LLC; Notice of Availability of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Proposed Evangeline Pass
Expansion Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Evangeline Pass Expansion
Project (Project), proposed by Tennessee
Gas Pipeline Company, LLC (Tennessee)
and Southern Natural Gas Company,
LLC (SNG) in the above-referenced
dockets.
Tennessee requests authorization to
construct and operate about 13 miles of
36-inch-diameter pipeline and a new
compressor station in St. Bernard and
Plaquemines Parishes, Louisiana. SNG
requests authorization to construct and
operate a new compressor station and
three new meter stations in Clarke and
Smith, Counties, Mississippi; and St.
Bernard Parish, Louisiana. The Project
would enable the transportation of up to
1,100,000 dekatherms per day of natural
gas to an interconnect with Venture
Global Gator Express, LLC’s Gator
Express Pipeline to provide feed gas for
Venture Global Plaquemines LNG, LLC’s
facility in Plaquemines Parish,
Louisiana.

The draft EIS responds to comments
that were received on the Commission’s
August 24, 2020 Environmental
Assessment (EA), provides additional
discussion of climate change impacts in
the region, and discloses downstream
greenhouse gas emissions for the
Project. With the exception of climate
change impacts, the FERC staff
concludes that approval of the proposed
Project, with the mitigation measures
recommended in this EIS, would not
result in significant environmental
impacts. FERC staff continues to be
unable to determine significance with
regards to climate change impacts.
The draft EIS incorporates the above
referenced EA, which addressed the
potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following Project facilities:
Tennessee
• about 9 miles of 36-inch-diameter
looping pipeline in St. Bernard Parish,
Louisiana (Yscloskey Toca Lateral
Loop);
• about 4 miles of 36-inch-diameter
looping pipeline in Plaquemines Parish,
Louisiana (Grand Bayou Loop); and
• a new 23,470 horsepower
compressor station consisting of one
natural gas-fired Solar Turbines Titan
130 turbine driven compressor unit
along Tennessee’s existing 500 line in
St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana
(Compressor Station 529);
SNG
• a new 22,220 hp compressor station
consisting of two natural gas-fired Solar
Taurus 70 turbines (11,110 hp each) in
Clarke County, Mississippi (Rose Hill
Compressor Station); and
• three new meter stations: Rose Hill
Receipt Meter Station in Clarke County,
Mississippi; Midcontinent Express
Pipeline Receipt Meter Station in Smith
County, Mississippi; and Toca Delivery
Meter Station in St. Bernard Parish,
Louisiana.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for the
Evangeline Pass Expansion Project 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 draft EIS is only
available in electronic format. It may be
viewed and downloaded from the
FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov), on the
