007]
Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC, Eastern
Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc.;
Notice of Availability of the Draft
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement for the Proposed Atlantic
Coast Pipeline Restoration Project and
Supply Header Restoration Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft
supplemental environmental impact
statement (EIS) for the Atlantic Coast
Pipeline, LLC’s (Atlantic) Atlantic Coast
Pipeline Restoration Project, and
Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage,
Inc.’s (EGTS) Supply Header Restoration
Project (Restoration Projects), in the
above-referenced dockets. Atlantic and
EGTS request authorization to
implement the Restoration Projects in
order to stabilize lands affected by
previous construction efforts for the
Atlantic Coast Pipeline and Supply
Header Project, respectively, and to
facilitate cessation of all project-related
activities. Implementation of the plans
is proposed because Atlantic and EGTS
have cancelled their respective projects
and do not intend to complete them.
The draft supplemental EIS assesses
the potential impacts that would result

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 143 / Thursday, July 29, 2021 / Notices
from the Restoration Projects, in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA).1 The FERC staff concludes that
the proposed actions, with the
additional mitigation measures
recommended in the supplemental EIS,
would continue to avoid or reduce
impacts to less than significant levels
with the exception of climate change
impacts, which FERC staff is unable to
determine significance.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
Forest Service and the U.S. Department
of the Interior’s Fish and Wildlife
Service participated as cooperating
agencies in the preparation of the draft
supplemental EIS. 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 draft supplemental EIS addresses
the potential environmental effects of
the following activities:
• Atlantic proposes to leave all
installed pipeline in place
(approximately 31.4 miles of the
pipeline right-of-way), restore lands that
were cleared and graded (approximately
82.7 miles of the pipeline right-of-way),
and leave felled trees in place in areas
where trees have not yet been cleared
(approximately 25.2 miles of the
pipeline right-of-way). For aboveground
facilities, Atlantic proposes to restore
the sites and manage the disposition of
the materials and land through an
investment recovery process. Workspace
for these activities would occur in West
Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina.
• EGTS proposes to leave all installed
pipeline in place (approximately 11.7
miles), leave approximately 0.13 mile of
felled trees in place, and complete final
restoration of approximately 9 miles of
the pipeline right-of-way that EGTS
previously cleared and/or graded. EGTS
proposes to stabilize all aboveground
facility sites and prepare assets for long
term preservation. Workspace for these
activities would occur in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability for the draft
supplemental EIS 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;

then-proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline and Supply
