DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP00–231–000]

Southern Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Assessment for the

Proposed Wren Compressor Station

Project and Request for Comments on

Environmental Issues

June 2, 2000.

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 Wren Compressor Station Project

involving the installation and operation

of compressor facilities by Southern

Natural Gas Company (Southern) in

Jefferson County, Georgia.1 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.

If you are a landowner receiving this

notice, you may be contacted by a

pipeline company representative about

the company’s intent to install certain

compressor unit facilities at an adjacent

or nearby commercial property owned

by Southern.

A fact sheet prepared by the FERC

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas

Facility On My Land? What Do I Need

To Know?’’ was attached to the project

notice Southern provided to

landowners. This fact sheet addresses a

number of typically asked questions,

including the use of eminent domain

and how to participate in the

Commission’s proceedings. It is

available for viewing on the FERC

Internet website (www.ferc.fed.us).

Summary of the Proposed Project

Southern wants to add one

compressor unit at its existing Wrens

Compressor Station (C.S.). The Wrens

C.S. is located at about milepost 459.87

on Southern’s South Main Line System

in Jefferson County, Georgia. The

compressor unit installation is part of a

provision of the Stipulation and

Agreement filed by Southern in Docket

Nos. RP990496–000 and RP99–496–001

(Settlement). Specifically, the

Settlement provides that Southern file

an application for authorization to

install a 3,500 horsepower (hp)

compressor unit at its existing Wrens

Compressor Station.

Currently, there is a total of 2,120 hp

at the Wrens C.S. With the addition of

the compressor unit proposed in this

application, the compressor station

would have a total of 5,620 hp.

Southern also proposes to install certain

facilities to implement noise mitigation

measures. Southern proposes to install

the additional facilities beginning in

April 2001, with an in-service date of

October 1, 2001.

The general location of Southern’s

Wrens C.S. and a layout/plot plan of the

facility are shown in appendix 1.2

Land Requirements for Construction

The area to be impacted by the

installation is less than 0.5 acres in size.

The additional compressor unit and

other appurtenances would be installed

using standard construction methods for

compressor installations. The

previously cleared and graded area

would be excavated for footing, utility

and piping stubs, and concrete footings.

Flooring would be poured, and the

walls erected. The building would be

wired for electricity, and would be

completed with the installation of the

compressor unit.

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 to

discover and address concerns the

public may have about proposals. We

call this ‘‘scoping’’. The main goal of the

scoping process is to focus the analysis

in the EA on the important

environmental issues. By this Notice of

Intent, the Commission requests public

comments on the scope of the issues it

will 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.

Our independent analysis of the

issues will be in the EA. Depending on

the comments received during the

scoping process, the EA may be

published and mailed to Federal, state,

and local agencies, public interest

groups, interested individuals, affected

landowners, newspapers, libraries, and

the Commission’s official service list for

this proceeding. A comment period will

be allotted for review if the EA is

published. We will consider all

comments on the EA before we make

our recommendations to the

Commission.

To ensure your comments are

considered, please carefully follow the

instructions in the public participation

section below.

Currently Identified Environmental

Issues

We have already identified two issues

that we think deserve attention based on

a preliminary review of the proposed

facilities and the environmental

information provided by Southern. This

preliminary list of issues may be
