The Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure require all intervenors
filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person on the official service list
for the project. Further, if an intervenor
files comments or documents with the
Commission relating to the merits of an
issue that may affect the responsibilities
of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document
on that resource agency.
k. The application is not ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
l. The existing Lakeport Hydroelectric
Project consists of: (1) A 243-foot-long,
12.34-foot-high concrete gravity dam
that includes the following sections: (a)
A 60-foot-long, 12.34-foot-high east
abutment section; (b) 78-foot-long, 4foot-high section with a sill elevation of
495.22 feet National Geodetic Vertical
Datum of 1929 (NGVD29), topped with
three 10-foot-high, 18-foot-wide slide
gates; (c) an approximately 15-foot-long
overflow section with a crest elevation
of 505.33 feet NGVD29; (d) an
approximately 21-foot-long, 10-footwide center pier; (e) a 25-foot-long,
12.33-foot-high stoplog section; and (f) a
44-foot-long, 41.67-foot-wide concrete
powerhouse that is integral with the
dam and that contains three 200-kW
vertical submersible Flygt turbinegenerator units located on outdoor
concrete pilings for a total installed
capacity of 600 kW; (2) a 75-foot-long
stone training wall that extends
downstream on the western side of the
powerhouse; (3) an impoundment (Lake
Winnipesaukee) with a surface area of
approximately 46,208 acres and a
storage capacity of 165,800 acre-feet at
an elevation of 504 feet NGVD29; (4) a
2,500-square-foot forebay area; (4) a 7.7foot-long, 15-foot-high concrete and
granite intake structure that is equipped
with three 6-foot-diameter, 10-foot-long
cylindrical headgates and a trashrack
with 2-inch clear bar spacing with a
0.75-inch overlay; (5) a 23-foot-long,
30.5-foot-wide, 20-foot-high concrete
and lumber control building adjacent to
the powerhouse, on the eastern
shoreline; (6) a 200-foot-long, 50-footwide tailrace that discharges into the
Winnipesaukee River; (7) three 30- to
55-foot-long, 0.48-kilovolt (kV)
generator leads, three 0.48/12.4-kV stepup transformers at a substation adjacent
to the control building that connect the
project to the local utility distribution
system; and (8) appurtenant facilities.
The average annual energy production
of the project from 2015 to 2019, was
2,250 MWh.
Lakeport proposes to prepare a
trashrack replacement plan, in

o. Scoping Process:
Commission staff will prepare either
an environmental assessment (EA) or an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
that describes and evaluates the
probable effects, if any, of the licensee’s
proposed action and alternatives. The
EA or EIS will consider environmental
impacts and reasonable alternatives to
the proposed action. The Commission’s
scoping process will help determine the
required level of analysis and satisfy the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) scoping requirements,
irrespective of whether the Commission
prepares an EA or an EIS. At this time,
we do anticipate holding on-site scoping
meetings. Instead, we are soliciting
written comments and suggestions on
the preliminary list of issues and
alternatives to be addressed in the
NEPA document, as described in
scoping document 1 (SD1), issued
February 24, 2022.
Copies of the SD1 outlining the
subject areas to be addressed in the
NEPA document were distributed to the
parties on the Commission’s mailing list
and the applicant’s distribution list.
Copies of SD1 may be viewed on the
web at https://www.ferc.gov using the
‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket

Commission
[Docket No. CP21–197–000]
Kern River Gas Transmission
Company; Notice of Availability of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement
for the Proposed; Delta Lateral Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Delta Lateral Project, proposed
by Kern River Gas Transmission
Company (Kern River) in the abovereferenced docket. Kern River requests
authorization to construct, own, and
operate an approximately 36 mile-long,
24-inch-diameter pipeline; a delivery
meter station; and appurtenant facilities,
all located in Millard County, Utah.
According to Kern River, the Project
purpose is to provide firm
transportation service of 140,000
dekatherms of natural gas per day from
Opal, Wyoming to the Intermountain
Power Project, an electrical generating
facility in Delta, Utah. Prior to filing its
application, Kern River participated in
the Commission’s Pre-filing Process for
this Project under Docket No. PF20–4–
000.
The final EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Delta
Lateral Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
responds to comments that were
received on the Commission’s

November 4, 2021 draft EIS.1 As
described in the final EIS, the FERC staff
concludes that approval of the Project
would result in some adverse
environmental impacts; however, with
the potential exception of climate
change impacts, these impacts would be
reduced to less-than-significant levels
because of the impact avoidance,
minimization, and mitigation measures
proposed by Kern River and those
recommended by staff in the EIS.
The U.S. Department of the Interior,
Bureau of Land Management (BLM),
participated as a cooperating agency in
the preparation of the 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. A portion of the Project would
be constructed on lands managed by the
BLM Fillmore Field Office. The BLM
assisted in the preparation of this EIS
and may adopt all or portions of the
document to satisfy its requirements
under NEPA in response to Kern River’s
application.
The Project would consist of the
following specific facilities:
• A 35.84-mile-long, 24-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline;
• a delivery meter station;
• two mainline taps with automated
lateral inlet valve assemblies;
• an in-line inspection device
launcher and receiver;
• an automated lateral block valve
assembly; and
• ancillary facilities.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the
Proposed Delta Lateral 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 areas. The EIS 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/
natural-gas/environment/
environmental-documents). In addition,
the EIS may be accessed by using the
eLibrary link on the FERC’s website.
