Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Docket No. CP23–466–000]
Great Basin Gas Transmission
Company; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed 2024 Great Basin Expansion
Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
2024 Great Basin Expansion Project
(Project), proposed by Great Basin Gas
Transmission Company (Great Basin) in
the above-referenced docket. Great
Basin requests authorization to
construct, operate, and abandon certain
natural gas pipeline facilities. The
expansion would provide 5,674
dekatherms per day of incremental firm
transportation service for two existing
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
84137
firm transportation shippers and would
require construction of approximately
3.4 miles of upsized or looped pipeline
in three segments across Douglas, Lyon,
and Storey Counties, Nevada.
The EA 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). 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 Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) participated as a cooperating
agency in the preparation of the EA.
Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction
by law or special expertise with respect
to resources potentially affected by the
proposal and participate in the NEPA
analysis. The BLM will adopt and use
the EA to consider the issuance of a
right-of-way grant for the portion of the
project on federal lands.
The proposed Project includes the
following facilities:
• construction of approximately 0.3
mile of 20-inch-diameter pipeline loop
along the Carson Lateral in Storey
County, Nevada, referred to as the
Truckee Canal segment;
• abandonment and replacement of
approximately 2.9 miles of existing 10inch-diameter pipeline with new 20inch-diameter pipeline along the Carson
Lateral in Lyon County, Nevada,
referred to as the Silver Springs
segment; and
• construction of approximately 0.3
mile of 12-inch-diameter pipeline loop
paralleling its South Tahoe Lateral in
Douglas County, Nevada, referred to as
the Kingsbury segment.
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;
environmental justice stakeholders
adjacent to the Project area that include
legal aid providers, rural cooperatives,
community social services
organizations, senior citizens centers,
public health agencies; newspapers and
libraries in the project area; and other
interested individuals and groups. 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://

environmental issues for the
Commission to consider when

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

motion to intervene out-of-time
pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedures (18 CFR 385.214(b)(3) and
