DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP09–17–000] 

Florida Gas Transmission Company, 

LLC; Notice of Availability of the 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Phase VIII Expansion 

Project 

September 18, 2009. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) has prepared a final 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the construction and operation of 

natural gas pipeline facilities proposed 

by Florida Gas Transmission Company, 

LLC (FGT) in the above referenced 

docket. FGT’s Phase VIII Expansion 

Project (Project) would be located in 

various counties in southern Alabama 

and throughout Florida. 

The final EIS was prepared to satisfy 

the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that 

approval of the proposed project, with 

the appropriate mitigation measures as 

recommended, would have some 

adverse environmental impact. 

However, most of these impacts would 

be reduced to less-than significant levels 

with the implementation of the 

applicant’s proposed mitigation 

measures and the additional measures 

we recommend in the EIS. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(COE) and U.S. Department of 

Agriculture Forest Service (USFS) 

participated as cooperating agencies in 

the preparation of the EIS. 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 Project would require 

permits from the COE pursuant to 

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 

United States Code [U.S.C.] 1344) and 

Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act 

(33 USC 403). The COE would adopt the 

EIS per Title 40 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 1501.3 if, after an 

independent review of the document, it 

concludes that its comments and 

suggestions have been satisfied. The 

USFS manages all federal lands (the 

Apalachicola National Forest) that 

would be crossed by this Project. A 

special-use permit would be issued by 

the USFS for the existing right-of-way 

for two existing pipelines (a 30-inch and 

a 36-inch-diameter) and the proposed 

additional 36-inch-diameter pipeline. 

This additional pipeline would require 

an additional 40 feet of right-of-way 

adjacent to the existing right-of-way. By 

participating as a cooperating agency, 

the USFS has obtained the views of the 

public prior to reaching an easement 

decision. 

The final EIS addresses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

following facilities: 

• Construction and operation of about 

357.3 miles of looping 1 various 

diameters of pipeline in Mobile, 

Baldwin, and Escambia Counties, 

Alabama and Escambia, Santa Rosa, 

Okaloosa, Walton, Washington, Jackson, 

Bay, Calhoun, Gadsden, Leon, Jefferson, 

Taylor, Lafayette, Suwannee, Gilchrist, 

Levy, Citrus, Hernando, Pasco, 

Hillsborough, and Miami-Dade 

Counties, Florida; 

• Construction and operation of about 

125.9 miles of 20, 24, and 30-inchdiameter pipelines in Lafayette, 

Madison, Manatee, DeSoto, Highlands, 

Okeechobee, Martin, and Suwannee 

Counties, Florida; 

• Acquisition from Florida Power & 

Light Company of a 22.7-mile-long, 20- 

inch-diameter pipeline located in 

Martin County, Florida; 

• Installation of a total of about 

198,000 horsepower (hp) of 

compression at 8 existing compressor 

stations; 

• Installation of one new 15,600 hp 

compressor station in Highlands 

County, Florida; and 

• Construction and operation of three 

new meter and regulator (M&R) Stations 

in Suwannee, Manatee, and Martin 

Counties, Florida; upgrade two existing 

M&R Stations in Mobile County, 

Alabama and Martin County, Florida; 

and construct one new regulator station 

in Lafayette County, Florida.

public files of the FERC and the COE 

and is available for public inspection at:
