would raise and lower the Obermeyer
gates to match inflows more closely
during high flow events. The applicant
would perform all work to install the
Obermeyer gates behind a bulkhead that
would be anchored on the upstream
side of the dam. The Obermeyer gate
installation is expected to last 18 to 24
months. This proposed action does not
require a drawdown of Goat Rock Lake.
The applicant proposes laydown areas
in previously disturbed areas and to
construct a temporary pier/platform for
equipment. During construction and
following the Obermeyer gate
installation, the licensee would operate
the Goat Rock Lake and powerhouse
within the current project license range
of 398–404 feet. The applicant states
that the proposal does not change any
of the project features or operations. The
project will continue to operate under
the terms of its current license and
applicable Water Quality Certification.

[Docket No. CP22–227–000]
Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC;
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Coco B Wells Replacement
Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Coco B Wells Replacement Project,
proposed by Columbia Gas
Transmission, LLC (Columbia) in the
above-referenced docket. Columbia
requests authorization to construct and
operate two new Injection and
Withdrawal Wells (I/W) wells and
related pipeline and appurtenances in a
new well pad, and plug and abandon
four I/W wells and related pipeline and
appurtenances within the Coco B
Storage Field in Kanawha County, West
Virginia.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Coco
B Wells Replacement Project in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act. The
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed project, with appropriate
mitigating measures, would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The proposed Coco B Wells
Replacement Project includes the
following facilities:
• construct and operate two new I/W
wells on a new well pad;

• construct 586 feet of related
pipeline and appurtenances;
• plug and abandon four I/W wells;
• abandon by removal 251 feet of
pipeline and appurtenances; and
• plug and abandon in place 4,927
feet of pipeline.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability of the EA 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 EA 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/naturalgas/environment/environmentaldocuments). In addition, the EA may be
accessed by using the eLibrary link on
the FERC’s website. Click on the
eLibrary link (https://elibrary.ferc.gov/
eLibrary/search), select ‘‘General
Search’’ and enter the docket number in
the ‘‘Docket Number’’ field, excluding

disclosure and discussion of potential
environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or
lessen environmental impacts. The more
specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. To ensure that the
Commission has the opportunity to
consider your comments prior to
making its decision on this project, it is
important that we receive your

[Docket No. CP22-227-000]
Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Coco B Wells Replacement
Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the Coco
B Wells Replacement Project, proposed by Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC
(Columbia) in the above-referenced docket. Columbia requests
authorization to construct and operate two new Injection and Withdrawal
Wells (I/W) wells and related pipeline and appurtenances in a new well
pad, and plug and abandon four I/W wells and related pipeline and
appurtenances within the Coco B Storage Field in Kanawha County, West
Virginia.
The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Coco B Wells Replacement Project in
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act. The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project,
with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
The proposed Coco B Wells Replacement Project includes the
following facilities:
construct and operate two new I/W wells on a new well pad;
construct 586 feet of related pipeline and appurtenances;
plug and abandon four I/W wells;
abandon by removal 251 feet of pipeline and appurtenances;
and
plug and abandon in place 4,927 feet of pipeline.
The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability of the
EA 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 EA 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 EA may be accessed by using the eLibrary link on the
