DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Docket No. CP22–461–000]
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC; Notice of Availability
of the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement for the Proposed Southside
Reliability Enhancement Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Southside Reliability
Enhancement Project (Project), proposed
by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC (Transco) in the abovereferenced docket. Transco requests
authorization to construct and operate
one new compressor station and modify
two existing compressor stations and
three existing meter stations in North
Carolina and Virginia. The Project
would provide an incremental 423,400
dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of yearround firm transportation capacity from
Transco’s Compressor Station 165 and
the Pine Needle Storage Facility along
the mainline pipeline system to delivery
points in North Carolina.
The draft EIS assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
FERC staff concludes that approval of
the proposed Project, with the
mitigation measures recommended in
the EIS, would result in some adverse
environmental impacts; however,
impacts would be reduced to less-thansignificant levels. Regarding climate
change impacts, the Project’s
construction and operation emissions
would increase the atmospheric
concentration of greenhouse gases
(GHG), in combination with past,
present, and future emissions from all
other sources. 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
significance determinations going

forward.1 The EIS also concludes that
no system or other alternative site
would meet the Project objective while
providing a significant environmental
advantage over the Project as proposed.
The draft EIS addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
following Project facilities:
• installation of a new compressor
station (Compressor Station 168) which
includes one new 33,000 horsepower
electric motor-driven compressor unit,
and installation of new mainline valves
on South Virginia Lateral A-Line and BLine at the new Compressor Station 168
in Mecklenburg County, Virginia;
• addition of one 16,000 horsepower
electric motor-driven compressor unit at
existing Compressor Station 166 in
Pittsylvania County, Virginia;
• installation of piping modifications
to allow for flow reversal at existing
Compressor Station 155 in Davidson
County, North Carolina;
• replacement of one meter run to
increase delivery volumes at the
existing Ahoskie Meter Station in
Hertford County, North Carolina;
• installation of new facilities to
increase delivery volumes at the
existing Pleasant Hill Meter Station in
Northampton County, North Carolina;
and
• upgrade meter and controls and
debottleneck piping at the existing
Iredell Meter Station in Iredell County,
North Carolina.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability of the draft 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;
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
natural gas environmental documents
page (https://www.ferc.gov/industriesdata/natural-gas/environment/

Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the
Proposed Southside Reliability Enhancement Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a draft environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Southside Reliability Enhancement Project (Project), proposed
by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Transco) in the above-
referenced docket. Transco requests authorization to construct and
operate one new compressor station and modify two existing compressor
stations and three existing meter stations in North Carolina and
Virginia. The Project would provide an incremental 423,400 dekatherms
per day (Dth/d) of year-round firm transportation capacity from
Transco's Compressor Station 165 and the Pine Needle Storage Facility
along the mainline pipeline system to delivery points in North
Carolina.
The draft EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). FERC
staff concludes that approval of the proposed Project, with the
mitigation measures recommended in the EIS, would result in some
adverse environmental impacts; however, impacts would be reduced to
less-than-significant levels. Regarding climate change impacts, the
Project's construction and operation emissions would increase the
atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG), in combination
with past, present, and future emissions from all other sources.
Climate change impacts are not characterized in the EIS as significant

to attend the virtual public comment session its staff will conduct by
telephone, scheduled as follows:
Date and Time
Wednesday November 16, 2022
Time: 6:00-8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
Call in number: 888-957-9871
Participant passcode: 3983900
The primary goal of the comment session is to have you identify
specific environmental issues and concerns with the draft EIS. Note
that the comment sessions will start at 6:00 p.m. and will end once all
participants wishing to comment have had the opportunity to do so, or
at 8:00 p.m., whichever comes first. Individual oral comments will be
taken one at a time with a court reporter present on the line.
There will be a brief introduction by Commission staff when the
session opens, so please attempt to call in at the beginning of the
session. All participants will be able to hear the comments provided by
other participants; however, all lines will remain closed during the
comments of others and then opened one at a time for providing
comments. Once you call in, the operator will provide directions on how
to indicate you would like to provide a comment. A time limit of 3
minutes may be implemented for each commentor.
Your oral comments will be recorded by the court reporter and
become part of the public record for this proceeding. Transcripts of
all comments received during the session will be publicly available on
FERC's eLibrary system (see comment instructions on page 3 of this
notice for instructions on using eLibrary).
It is important to note that the Commission provides equal
consideration to all comments received, whether filed in written form
or provided orally at a virtual comment session.
Any person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a
motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR part 385.214). Motions to intervene are
more fully described at https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/ferc-online/how-guides. Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing or
judicial review of the Commission's decision. The Commission grants
affected landowners

and others with environmental concerns intervenor status upon showing
good cause by stating that they have a clear and direct interest in
this proceeding which no other party can adequately represent. Simply
filing environmental comments will not give you intervenor status, but
you do not need intervenor status to have your comments considered.

Additional information about the project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC website (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. The eLibrary link
also provides access to the texts of all formal documents issued by the
Commission, such as orders, notices, and rulemakings.
In addition, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription that allows you to keep track of all formal issuances and
submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time you
spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview to
register for eSubscription.
