Environmental Mailing List 

The environmental mailing list 

includes Federal, State, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. This list also includes 

all affected landowners (as defined in 

the Commission’s regulations) who own 

property or homes within a certain 

distance of the proposed compressor 

station site and anyone who submits 

comments on the project. We will 

update the environmental mailing list as 

the analysis proceeds to ensure that we 

send the information related to this 

environmental review to all individuals, 

organizations, and government entities 

interested in and/or potentially affected 

by the proposed project. 

If the EA is published for distribution, 

copies will be sent to the environmental 

mailing list for public review and 

comment. If you would prefer to receive 

a paper copy of the document instead of 

the CD version or would like to remove 

your name from the mailing list, please 

return the attached Information Request 

(appendix 2). 

Becoming an Intervenor 

In addition to involvement in the EA 

scoping process, you may want to 

become an ‘‘intervenor’’ which is an 

official party to the Commission’s 

proceeding. Intervenors play a more 

formal role in the process and are able 

to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be 

heard by the courts if they choose to 

appeal the Commission’s final ruling. 

An intervenor formally participates in 

the proceeding by filing a request to 

intervene. Instructions for becoming an 

intervenor are included in the User’s 

Guide under the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the 

Commission’s Web site.

express permission. 

The proposed project would consist of 

the following: (1) The existing 10-foothigh, 156-foot-long granite masonry 

Elizabeth Webbing Dam with proposed 

12-inch-high flashboards; (2) an existing 

26-acre impoundment with a normal 

maximum water surface elevation of 

34.9 feet (NGVD 1929); (3) an existing 

trashrack and 40-foot-wide, 39-foot-long
