DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP20–487–000] 

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice 

of Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed South 

Sioux City to Sioux Falls A-Line 

Replacement Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

South Sioux City to Sioux Falls A-line 

Replacement Project, proposed by 

Northern Natural Gas Company 

(Northern) in the above-referenced 

docket. Northern requests authorization 

to abandon a portion of its existing 

pipeline in-place and to construct, 

operate, and maintain new natural gas 

facilities in Dakota and Dixon Counties, 

Nebraska, and Lincoln and Union 

Counties, South Dakota. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the South 

Sioux City to Sioux Falls A-line 

Replacement 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

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 proposed Project includes the 

following: 

• Construction of 82.2 miles of 12- 

inch-diameter pipeline in Nebraska and 

South Dakota (A-line); 

• construction of 3.2 miles of 12-inchdiameter pipeline in South Dakota 

(SDM97701 Tie-Over); 

• construction of 1.9 miles of 3-inchdiameter pipeline in Nebraska (Ponca 

Branch Line); 

• abandonment in-place of 79.2 miles 

of 14- and 16-inch-diameter pipeline in 

Nebraska and South Dakota (A-line); 

• abandonment in-place of 0.2 mile of 

2-inch-diameter pipeline in Nebraska 

(Ponca Branch Line); 

• abandonment in-place of 0.1 mile of 

2-inch-diameter pipeline in Nebraska 

(Jackson Branch Line); and 

• construction and modification of 

aboveground facilities, including valves, 

regulators, metering facilities, pig 

launchers and receivers,1 an odorizer, 

and town border station sites. 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

Notice of Availability to federal, state, 

and local government representatives 

and agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

project area. 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:// 

www.ferc.gov/industries-data/naturalgas/environment/environmentaldocuments). In addition, the EA may be 

accessed by using the eLibrary link on 

the FERC’s website. Click on the 

eLibrary link (https://elibrary.ferc.gov/ 

eLibrary/search), select ‘‘General 

Search’’ and enter the docket number in 

the ‘‘Docket Number’’ field (i.e. CP20– 

487). Be sure you have selected an 

appropriate date range. For assistance,

The EA is not a decision document. 

It presents Commission staff’s 

independent analysis of the 

environmental issues for the 

Commission to consider when 

addressing the merits of all issues in 

this proceeding. Any person wishing to 

comment on the EA may do so. Your 

comments should focus on the EA’s 

disclosure and discussion of potential 

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 

comments in Washington, DC on or 

before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on
