BILLING CODE 6450–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Acquisition of a Natural Gas 

Pipeline and Natural Gas Utility Service 

at the Hanford Site, Richland, WA, and 

Notice of Floodplains and Wetlands 

Involvement (DOE/EIS–0467) 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

and Notice of Floodplains and Wetlands 

Involvement. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) announces its intent to prepare 

an Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Acquisition of a Natural Gas 

Pipeline and Natural Gas Utility Service 

at the Hanford Site, Richland, 

Washington (Natural Gas Pipeline or 

NGP EIS), and initiate a 30-day public 

scoping period. DOE will prepare the 

NGP EIS in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), the Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) regulations that 

implement NEPA and DOE 

implementing procedures. DOE is 

inviting public comment on the 

proposed scope of the NGP EIS, 

including the alternatives and 

environmental issues to be evaluated. 

DOE proposes to make natural gas 

available to facilities located on the 

Central Plateau of its Hanford Site near 

Richland, Washington, to help meet its 

objectives to reduce fuel costs, 

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and 

dependence on foreign fuel sources. 

Because natural gas is not currently 

available on the Central Plateau of the 

Site, this action would involve entering 

into a contract with a licensed natural 

gas utility supplier to construct, operate, 

and maintain a natural gas pipeline and 

deliver natural gas utility service to 

DOE. 

The proposed pipeline would begin 

from a new interconnect tap on the 

existing Williams Northwest Pipe 

transmission line in Franklin County, 

north of the Pasco, Washington, airport, 

and then run westerly across non-DOE 

lands and under the Columbia River 

onto the Hanford Site 300 Area, before 

turning northwest and paralleling Route 

4S. The pipeline would terminate at 

facilities in the 200 East Area of the
