DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP19–13–000] 

Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Yorktown M&R Replacement 

& Reliability Project and Request for 

Comments on Environmental Issues 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the Yorktown M&R Replacement & 

Reliability Project involving 

construction and operation of facilities 

by Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC 

(Algonquin) in Westchester County, 

New York. The Commission will use 

this EA in its decision-making process 

to determine whether the project is in 

the public convenience and necessity. 

This notice announces the opening of 

the scoping process the Commission 

will use to gather input from the public 

and interested agencies about issues 

regarding the project. The National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

requires the Commission to take into 

account the environmental impacts that 

could result from its action whenever it 

considers the issuance of a Certificate of 

Public Convenience and Necessity. 

NEPA also requires the Commission to 

discover concerns the public may have 

about proposals. This process is referred 

to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the 

scoping process is to focus the analysis 

in the EA on the important 

environmental issues. By this notice, the 

Commission requests public comments 

on the scope of the issues to address in 

the EA. To ensure that your comments 

are timely and properly recorded, please 

submit your comments so that the 

Commission receives them in 

Washington, DC on or before 5:00 pm 

Eastern Time on January 22, 2019. 

You can make a difference by 

submitting your specific comments or 

concerns about the project. Your 

comments should focus on the potential 

environmental effects, reasonable 

alternatives, and measures to avoid or 

lessen environmental impacts. Your 

input will help the Commission staff 

determine what issues they need to 

evaluate in the EA. Commission staff 

will consider all filed comments during 

the preparation of the EA. 

If you sent comments on this project 

to the Commission before the opening of 

this docket on November 5, 2018, you 

will need to file those comments in 

Docket No. CP19–13–000 to ensure they 

are considered as part of this 

proceeding. 

This notice is being sent to the 

Commission’s current environmental 

mailing list for this project. State and 

local government representatives should 

notify their constituents of this 

proposed project and encourage them to 

comment on their areas of concern. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, a pipeline company 

representative may contact you about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

proposed facilities. The company would 

seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable 

easement agreement. You are not 

required to enter into an agreement. 

However, if the Commission approves 

the project, that approval conveys with 

it the right of eminent domain. 

Therefore, if you and the company do 

not reach an easement agreement, the 

pipeline company could initiate 

condemnation proceedings in court. In 

such instances, compensation would be 

determined by a judge in accordance 

with state law. 

Algonquin provided landowners with 

a fact sheet prepared by the FERC 

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas 

Facility On My Land? What Do I Need 

To Know?’’ This fact sheet addresses a 

number of typically asked questions, 

including the use of eminent domain 

and how to participate in the 

Commission’s proceedings. It is also 

available for viewing on the FERC 

website (www.ferc.gov) at https://

Summary of the Proposed Project 

Algonquin proposes to replace its 

existing facilities at the Yorktown Meter 

and Regulator (M&R) Station in 

Westchester County, New York, with 

upgraded facilities to allow for 

increased capacity and reliability to 

Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison), 

an existing shipper on the Algonquin 

system. The project would increase the 

capacity of the Yorktown M&R Station 

to approximately 31.2 million cubic feet 

of natural gas per day (MMcf/d) from 

the current capacity at the Yorktown 

M&R Station of approximately 9.522 

MMcf/d. Algonquin states that the 

project would respond to Con Edison’s 

request for additional capacity at the 

Yorktown M&R Station. 

Algonquin proposes the following 

construction activities: 

• Install temporary bypass facilities 

within Algonquin’s existing pipeline 

right-of-way; 

• remove an approximately 1,300 

square foot residential-style brick 

building that houses the existing M&R 

facilities and related appurtenances; 

• install a new approximately 1,800 

square foot residential-style building to 

house a portion of the replacement 

facilities; 

• remove the existing gas-fired heater 

and other appurtenant facilities, and 

install two new natural gas catalytic 

heaters, one new filter/separator, and 

one new natural gas-fired emergency 

generator; 

• install an approximately 500 square 

foot residential-style building to house 

the over-pressure-protection facilities 

and related appurtenances; 

• tie-in and commission into service 

the new M&R facilities; and 

• remove the temporary bypass 

facilities, concrete foundations, and 

other related appurtenances. 

The general location of the project is 

shown in appendix 1.1

Land Requirements for Construction 

The project would temporarily disturb 

up to 2.5 acres of land during 

construction activities. This includes 

approximately 0.7 acre on Con Edison’s 

property, upon which the Yorktown 

M&R Station is located, and 1.8 acres 

within and adjacent to Algonquin’s 

pipeline right-of-way for temporary 

workspace. Algonquin would use 

temporary workspace for temporary 

bypass facilities, equipment staging, and 

construction vehicle access to the 

Yorktown M&R Station property. No 

land would be acquired to expand the 

existing facility footprint or 

permanently maintained for operations 

and maintenance of the project 

facilities. 

The EA Process 

The EA will discuss impacts that 

could occur as a result of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed project under these general 

headings: 

• Geology and soils; 

• water resources and wetlands; 

• vegetation and wildlife; 

• threatened and endangered species; 

• cultural resources; 

• land use; 

• air quality and noise; 

• public safety; and 

• cumulative impacts 

Commission staff will also evaluate 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

project or portions of the project, and 

make recommendations on how to 

lessen or avoid impacts on the various 

resource areas. 

The EA will present Commission 

staffs’ independent analysis of the 

issues. The EA will be available in 

electronic format in the public record 

through eLibrary 2 and the 

Commission’s website (https://

www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/enviro/ 

eis.asp). If eSubscribed, you will receive 

instant email notification when the EA 

is issued. The EA may be issued for an 

allotted public comment period. 

Commission staff will consider all 

comments on the EA before making 

recommendations to the Commission. 

To ensure Commission staff have the 

opportunity to address your comments, 

please carefully follow the instructions 

in the Public Participation section, 

beginning on page 2. 

With this notice, the Commission is 

asking agencies with jurisdiction by law 

and/or special expertise with respect to 

the environmental issues of this project 

to formally cooperate in the preparation 

of the EA.3 Agencies that would like to 

request cooperating agency status 

should follow the instructions for filing 

comments provided under the Public 

Participation section of this notice. 

Consultation Under Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act 

In accordance with the Advisory 

Council on Historic Preservation’s 

implementing regulations for section 

106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act, the Commission is 

using this notice to initiate consultation 

with the applicable State Historic 

Preservation Office (SHPO), and to 

solicit their views and those of other 

government agencies, interested Indian 

tribes, and the public on the project’s 

potential effects on historic properties.4

Commission staff will define the 

project-specific Area of Potential Effects 

(APE) in consultation with the SHPO as 

the project develops. On natural gas 

facility projects, the APE at a minimum 

encompasses all areas subject to ground 

disturbance (examples include 

construction right-of-way, contractor/ 

pipe storage yards, compressor stations, 

and access roads). The EA for this 

project will document findings on the 

impacts on historic properties and 

summarize the status of consultations 

under section 106. 

Environmental Mailing List 

The environmental mailing list 

includes federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries.
