[Docket No. CP23–214–000]
Columbia Gas Transmission, L.L.C.;
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Greenwood and North
Greenwood Storage Fields
Abandonment Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Greenwood and North Greenwood
Storage Fields Abandonment Project
(Project), proposed by Columbia Gas
Transmission, L.L.C. (Columbia) in the
above-referenced docket. Columbia
requests authorization to abandon its
Greenwood and North Greenwood
Storage fields, including nine wells, 3
miles of storage lines, one compressor
station, and associated appurtenances in
Steuben County, New York.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the Project in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). 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 Project includes the
following activities:
• abandoning four injection/
withdrawal wells by permanently
plugging and abandoning;
• abandoning four observation wells
and one disposal well by permanently
plugging and abandoning;
• abandoning approximately 3 miles
of associated storage lines, consisting of
three 8-inch-diameter laterals, and five
4-inch-diameter laterals. About 0.1 mile
PO 00000
Frm 00032

would be abandoned by removal and
about 2.9 miles would be abandoned in
place;
• abandoning by removal the North
Greenwood Compressor Station,
including all below- and above-ground
structures;
• abandoning by removal all aboveground appurtenances; and
• abandoning in place the remaining
below-ground brine lines and
miscellaneous appurtenances.
The Commission mailed a copy of the
Notice of Availability 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
the last three digits (i.e., CP23–214). Be

FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free

The EA is not a decision document.
It presents Commission staff’s
independent analysis of the
environmental issues for the
Commission to consider when
addressing the merits of all issues in
this proceeding. Any person wishing to
comment on the EA may do so. Your
comments should focus on the EA’s
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
comments in Washington, DC on or
before 5 p.m. eastern time on November
27, 2023.

methods you can use to file your
comments to the Commission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing
of comments and has staff available to
