DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP21–31–000] 

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; 

Notice of Scoping Period Requesting 

Comments on Environmental Issues 

for the Proposed Perulack Compressor 

Units Replacement Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental document, that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the Perulack Compressor Units 

Replacement Project (Project) involving 

construction and operation of facilities 

by Texas Eastern Transmission, LP 

(Texas Eastern) in Juniata County, 

Pennsylvania. The Commission will use 

this environmental document 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 regarding the 

Project. As part of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

review process, the Commission takes 

into account concerns the public may 

have about proposals and the 

environmental impacts that could result 

from its action whenever it considers 

the issuance of a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity. This 

gathering of public input is referred to 

as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the 

scoping process is to focus the analysis 

in the environmental document on the 

important environmental issues. 

Additional information about the 

Commission’s NEPA process is 

described below in the NEPA Process 

and Environmental Document section of 

this notice. 

By this notice, the Commission 

requests public comments on the scope 

of issues to address in the 

environmental document. 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 p.m. Eastern Time on April 

5, 2021. Comments may be submitted in 

written form. Further details on how to 

submit comments are provided in the 

Public Participation section of this 

notice. 

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 environmental 

document. Commission staff will 

consider all written comments during 

the preparation of the environmental 

document. 

If you submitted comments on this 

Project to the Commission before the 

opening of this docket on January 15, 

2021, you will need to file those 

comments in Docket No. CP21–31–000 

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, the Natural Gas Act conveys 

the right of eminent domain to the 

company. 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. The 

Commission does not subsequently 

grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise 

of that eminent domain authority. The 

courts have exclusive authority to 

handle eminent domain cases; the 

Commission has no jurisdiction over 

these matters. 

Texas Eastern 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?’’ which addresses typically 

asked questions, including the use of 

eminent domain and how to participate 

in the Commission’s proceedings. This 

fact sheet along with other landowner 

topics of interest are available for 

viewing on the FERC website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the Natural Gas 

Questions or Landowner Topics link.

Summary of the Proposed Project 

Texas Eastern proposes to abandon 

and remove four existing compressor 

units (one GE Frame 5 unit and three 

Clark DC–900 units), install two new 

compressor units, and construct 

auxiliary appurtenant facilities at its 

existing Perulack Compressor Station in 

Juniata County, Pennsylvania. The 

Project would consist of the following 

new facilities: 

• Installation of two new 18,100- 

horsepower (hp) Solar Titan 130 natural 

gas-fired turbines;

3The Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations addressing cooperating agency 

responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Section 1501.6. 

4The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s 

regulations are at Title 36, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 800. Those regulations define 

historic properties as any prehistoric or historic 

district, site, building, structure, or object included 

in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register 

of Historic Places. 

• installation of related software 

controls that would limit the total hp of 

each compressor unit to 17,400 hp; 

• installation of a new 585 hp 

Waukesha VGF–H24GL emergency 

generator; 

• construction of a new compressor 

building to house the two new 

compressor units; 

• conversion of an existing 

compressor building into a storage 

warehouse; 

• construction of a new service entry 

building, two new electric buildings, 

two natural gas-fired heaters, two space 

heaters, four new filter/separator 

vessels, and six new gas coolers; and 

• construction of a new stormwater 

management retention basin. 

The general location of the Project 

facilities is shown in appendix 1.1

Land Requirements for Construction 

The station is located on 

approximately 48.4 acres property 

owned by Texas Eastern and lies within 

a fenced area encompassing 

approximately 36.9 acres. Construction 

of the Project would disturb 36.1 acres 

of land, including 27.2 acres of land 

within the existing fence line of the 

station, 3.4 acres of additional 

temporary workspace outside 

(northwest) of the station fence line, and 

5.5 acres for the temporary construction 

yard outside (south) of the station fence 

line. The proposed additional temporary 

workspace would be in open space on 

property Texas Eastern owns. Following 

construction, Texas Eastern would 

maintain its 27.2 acres for permanent 

operation of the Project’s facilities; the 

remaining acreage would be restored 

and revert to former uses. 

NEPA Process and the Environmental 

Document 

Any environmental document issued 

by the Commission will discuss impacts 

that could occur as a result of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed Project under the relevant 

general resource areas: 

• Geology and soils; 

• water resources and wetlands; 

• vegetation and wildlife; 

• threatened and endangered species; 

• cultural resources; 

• land use; 

• air quality and noise; and 

• reliability and safety. 

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. Your comments will 

help Commission staff identify and 

focus on the issues that might have an 

effect on the human environment and 

potentially eliminate others from further 

study and discussion in the 

environmental document. 

Following this scoping period, 

Commission staff will determine 

whether to prepare an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) or an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS). The EA or the 

EIS will present Commission staff’s 

independent analysis of the issues. If 

Commission staff prepares an EA, a 

Notice of Schedule for the Preparation 

of an Environmental Assessment will be 

issued. The EA may be issued for an 

allotted public comment period. The 

Commission would consider timely 

comments on the EA before making its 

decision regarding the proposed Project. 

If Commission staff prepares an EIS, a 

Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS/ 

Notice of Schedule will be issued, 

which will open up an additional 

comment period. Staff will then prepare 

a draft EIS which will be issued for 

public comment. Commission staff will 

consider all timely comments received 

during the comment period on the draft 

EIS and revise the document, as 

necessary, before issuing a final EIS. 

Any EA or draft and final EIS will be 

available in electronic format in the 

public record through eLibrary 2 and the 

Commission’s natural gas 

environmental documents web page 

(https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/ 

natural-gas/environment/ 

environmental-documents). If 

eSubscribed, you will receive instant 

email notification when the 

environmental document is issued. 

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 environmental document.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(s), 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

The environmental document for this 

Project will document findings on the 

impacts on historic properties and 

summarize the status of consultations 

under section 106.
