[Docket No. CP22–15–000]
Notice of Availability of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Texas Eastern Transmission, LP
Proposed Venice Extension Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Venice Extension Project,
proposed by Texas Eastern
Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) in the
above-referenced docket. Texas Eastern
requests authorization to provide firm
natural gas transportation service for up
to 1,260,000 dekatherms per day on its
existing Line 40 to an interconnection
with a pipeline lateral to be constructed,
owned, and operated by Venture Global
Gator Express, LLC, with ultimate
delivery to Venture Global Plaquemines
LNG, LLC Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)
Terminal, which is currently under
development in Plaquemines Parish,
Louisiana.
The draft EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the

Venice Extension Project in accordance
with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. With the
exception of climate change impacts,
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed project, with the
mitigation measures recommended in
the EIS, would not result in significant
environmental impacts. Climate change
impacts are not characterized in the EIS
as significant or insignificant because
the Commission is conducting a generic
proceeding to determine whether and
how the Commission will conduct
climate change significance
determinations going forward. FERC
staff is unable to determine the
significance level of climate change
impacts.
The draft EIS addresses the potential
environmental effects of: the (i)
construction and operation of an
approximately 3.0-mile-long, 36-inchdiameter pipeline segment on Texas
Eastern’s Line 40 in Pointe Coupee
Parish; (ii) abandonment in place of a
2.2-mile-long, 36-inch-diameter existing
pipeline segment on Line 40 in Pointe
Coupee Parish; (iii) construction of a
new proposed 31,900 horsepower (hp)
compressor station (New Roads
Compressor Station) and metering and
regulating (M&R) facilities in Pointe
Coupee Parish; (iv) abandonment in
place of the existing, inactive 19,800 hp
compressor unit at Texas Eastern’s
existing White Castle Compressor
Station in Iberville Parish, Louisiana,
and the existing, inactive 19,800 hp
compressor unit at its existing Larose
Compressor Station in Lafourche Parish,
Louisiana; (v) installation of one new
31,900 hp compressor unit and related
appurtenances at both White Castle and
Larose compressor stations; and (vi)
upgrades at its Gator Express M&R 1
facility on an open water platform in
Plaquemines Parish.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability of the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for the
Venice Extension 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

FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov), on the
