BILLING CODE 6717–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP11–36–000] 

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Northampton Expansion 

Project and Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues 

December 21, 2010. 

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 Northampton Expansion Project 

(Project) involving construction and 

operation of facilities by Tennessee Gas 

Pipeline Company (Tennessee) in 

Hampden County, Massachusetts. This 

EA will be used by the Commission in 

its decision-making process to 

determine whether the project is in the 

public convenience and necessity. 

The Notice of Intent (NOI) announces 

the opening of the scoping process the 

Commission will use to gather input 

from the public and interested agencies 

on the project. Your input will help the 

Commission staff determine what issues 

need to be evaluated in the EA. Please 

note that the scoping period will close 

on January 20, 2011. 

Comments on the project may be 

submitted in written form or 

electronically, as described in the public 

participation section of this notice. 

This NOI is being sent to the 

Commission’s current environmental 

mailing for this project, which includes 

affected landowners; Federal, State, and 

local government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; parties 

to this proceeding; and local libraries 

and newspapers. State and local 

government representatives are asked to 

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, you may be contacted by a 

pipeline company representative about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

proposed facilities. The company would 

seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable 

agreement. However, if the project is 

approved by the Commission, that 

approval conveys with it the right of 

eminent domain. Therefore, if easement 

negotiations fail to produce an 

agreement, the pipeline company could 

initiate condemnation proceedings 

where compensation would be 

determined in accordance with state 

law. 

A fact sheet prepared by the FERC 

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas 

Facility on My Land? What Do I Need 

To Know?’’ is available for viewing on 

the FERC Internet Web site (http:// 

www.ferc.gov/for-citizens/citizenguides.asp). This fact sheet addresses a 

number of typically asked questions, 

including the use of eminent domain 

and how to participate in FERC’s 

proceedings. 

Summary of the Proposed Project 

The Project involves the construction 

of the new Southwick Compressor 

Station 260A at 248 Feeding Hills Road 

in the Town of Southwick, Hampden 

County, Massachusetts. The Project has 

been sited on a 5.32-acre parcel adjacent 

to Tennessee’s existing 8-inch diameter 

Northampton Lateral Line. The 

Compressor Station will consist of a 

2,000-horsepower electric engine 

compression unit housed within a new 

building, and other associated facilities, 

including a gas cooler unit, vent 

silencer, a fan, a control building, onsite access driveway, and overhead 

electrical line. Ancillary equipment will 

also include an emergency generator, 

hot water boiler and space heater, all 

fueled by natural gas. In order to 

connect the Compressor Station to the 

Northampton Lateral, Tennessee will 

need to install a total of 380 feet of 

pipeline: (i) 155 feet of pipeline on the 

Compressor Station site; and (ii) 225 feet 

of pipeline within a 60-foot wide 

easement connecting the Compressor 

Station site to the Northampton Lateral. 

A location map depicting the 

proposed facilities is attached to this 

NOI as Appendix 1.1

Land Requirements for Construction 

Tennessee proposes to construct the 

Project on a parcel of land measuring 

approximately 5.32 acres which is 

wholly owned by Tennessee. 

Construction will require approximately 

3.28 acres of new land disturbance of 

which 1.57 acres will be permanently 

altered by operation of the facility. 

Approximately 2.82 acres (over 50 

percent) of the 5.32-acre parcel would 

be utilized as buffer and visual 

screening both during and postconstruction and will not be affected by 

either construction or operation of the 

facility. Portions of this work are also 

required within a proposed 0.31-acre 

pipeline easement necessary to connect 

the compressor station to Tennessee’s 

existing pipeline. Following 

construction, the ground surfaces 

immediately surrounding the facility 

and within the proposed fence line will 

be converted to gravel and maintained 

lawn to facilitate maintenance of a clear 

and accessible operational area. 

The EA Process 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to 

take into account the environmental 

impacts that could result from an action 

whenever it considers the issuance of a 

Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity. NEPA also requires us 2 to 

discover and address 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. All comments 

received are considered during the 

preparation of the EA. State and local 

government representatives are 

encouraged to notify their constituents 

of this proposed action and encourage 

them to comment on their areas of 

concern. 

In the EA we will discuss impacts that 

could occur as results of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed project under these general 

headings: 

• Geology and soils; 

• Land use; 

• Water resources, fisheries, and 

wetlands; 

• Cultural resources 

• Vegetation and wildlife; 

• Air quality and noise 

• Reliability and safety 

We 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.
