Spire Storage’s natural gas storage 

facilities in Uinta County, Wyoming in 

order to increase the certificated gas 

capacities from 4.0 billion cubic feet

maximum daily injection and 

withdrawal capacities from 35 million 

cubic feet (MMcf) and 50 MMcf per day, 

to 350 MMcf and 500 MMcf per day, 

respectively. 

On October 22, 2020, the Federal

other things, that notice alerted agencies 

issuing federal authorizations of the 

requirement to complete all necessary 

reviews and to reach a final decision on 

a request for a federal authorization 

within 90 days of the date of issuance 

of the Commission staff’s environmental 

document for the Project. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Project and the planned schedule for the 

completion of the environmental 

review.1

Project Description 

The Clear Creek Expansion Project 

would consist of the following facilities 

in Uinta County, Wyoming: 

• Four compressor units at the Clear 

Creek Plant; 

• a tank storage and natural gas 

liquids fueling equipment facility on an 

existing pad; 

• 11 new injection/withdrawal wells, 

one new water disposal well, and 

associated lines; 

• approximately 10.6 miles of 20- 

inch-diameter pipeline; 

• approximately 3.5 miles of 4,160- 

volt powerline; and

Background 

On November 9, 2020, the 

Commission issued a Notice of Scoping 

Period Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Clear Creek Expansion Project (Notice of 

Scoping). The Notice of Scoping was 

sent to affected landowners; federal, 

state, and local government agencies; 

elected officials; environmental and 

public interest groups; Native American 

tribes; other interested parties; and local 

libraries and newspapers. In response to 

the Notice of Scoping, the Commission 

received comments from the Wyoming 

Department of Environmental Quality. 

The primary issues raised by the 

commenter are permitting, stream 

crossings, wetland impacts, and spill 

reporting. All substantive comments 

will be addressed in the EA. 

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management 

is a cooperating agency in the 

preparation of the EA.

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

formal issuances and submittals in
