Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Northern Natural Gas
Company Northern Lights 2025
Expansion Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Northern Lights 2025 Expansion Project
(Project), proposed by Northern Natural
Gas Company (Northern) in the abovereferenced docket. Northern requests
authorization to construct and operate
about 8.6 miles of pipeline extensions,
and associated ancillary and auxiliary
equipment in Freeborn, Houston, and
Washington Counties, Minnesota and
Monroe County, Wisconsin. Northern’s
stated purpose for this Project is to
provide up to 46,064 dekatherms per
day of firm, winter natural gas
transportation capacity to Northern’s
Market Area.1
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. FERC staff
concludes that approval of the proposed
Project would not constitute a major
federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment.
The proposed Project includes the
following facilities:
1 Northern’s Market Area is north of the inlet to
Northern’s Clifton Compressor Station in Clay
County, Kansas. The Market Area includes pipeline
configured in a grid system, with gas flowing from
Northern’s transmission facilities and third-party
interstate pipelines.
