DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP23–507–000] 

Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Schedule for 

the Preparation of An Environmental 

Assessment for the Swarts And 

Hunters Cave Well Replacement 

Project 

On June 30, 2023, Equitrans, L.P. 

(Equitrans) filed an application in 

Docket No. CP23–507–000 requesting a 

Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity pursuant to section 7(c) and 

Authorization pursuant to section 7(b) 

of the Natural Gas Act to construct, 

operate, and abandon certain natural gas 

pipeline facilities in Greene County, 

Pennsylvania. The proposed project is 

known as the Swarts and Hunters Cave 

Well Replacement Project (Project) and 

would: abandon a series of wells by 

sale, abandon well lines in place and 

any associated appurtenant facilities; 

construct and operate two horizontal 

storage wells; acquire pipelines and 

related equipment to serve as well lines 

and auxiliary facilities for the Swarts 

Horizontal Storage Well; and sell base 

gas from the Swarts Complex. 

On July 18, 2023, the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) issued its Notice of Application 

for the Project. Among other things, that 

notice alerted agencies issuing federal 

authorizations of the requirement to 

complete all necessary reviews and to 

reach a final decision on a request for 

a federal authorization within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s environmental document for the 

Project. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Project and the planned schedule for the 

completion of the environmental 

review.1

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA December 8, 2023 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline 2 March 7, 2024 

If a schedule change becomes 

necessary, additional notice will be 

provided so that the relevant agencies 

are kept informed of the Project’s 

progress. 

Project Description 

Equitrans proposes to abandon, 

construct, and operate certain facilities 

within the Swarts Complex and Hunters 

Cave Storage Fields in Greene County, 

Pennsylvania. According to Equitrans, 

the Swarts and Hunters Cave Well 

Replacement Project is necessary 

because of planned mining activity from 

CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company 

LLC (CONSOL). According to 

Pennsylvania state law, any active 

storage well within 2,000 feet of mining 

activities would need to be plugged or 

upgraded to current mining standards. 

The Swarts and Hunters Cave Well 

Replacement Project would consist of 

the following: 

• abandonment by-sale of a series of 

19 injection/withdrawal wells at 

Equitrans’ Hunters Cave Storage Field, 

abandonment in-place of the associated 

well pipelines and any associated 

facilities; 

• construction and operation of a new 

horizontal well, associated pipelines, 

and ancillary facilities at the Hunters 

Cave Storage Field; 

• construction and operation of a new 

horizontal well, associated pipelines, 

and ancillary facilities at the Swarts 

Complex; 

• expansions of the existing Morris 

Interconnect and Pierce Gates Valve 

Yards at the Hunters Cave Storage Field; 

• acquisition of non-jurisdictional 

gathering assets from EQM Gathering 

Opco, LLC (pipelines and related 

equipment) for operation of the new 

Swarts Horizontal Storage Well; and 

• the sale of 580 million cubic feet of 

base gas from the Swarts Complex. 

Background 

On August 2, 2023, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Scoping Period 

Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Swarts and Hunters Cave Well 

Replacement Project (Notice of 

Scoping). The Notice of Scoping was 

sent to affected landowners; federal, 

state, and local government agencies; 

elected officials; environmental and 

public interest groups; Native American 

tribes; other interested parties; and local 

libraries and newspapers. In response to 

the Notice of Scoping, the Commission 

received one comment from the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Region III. The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, Region III provided 

general guidance and recommendations 

for consideration in the development of 

the NEPA document. The Commission 

also received a comment from the 

Delaware Nation requesting further 

information on project specifics, 

cultural resources, and the Section 106 

process. All substantive comments 

received will be addressed in the EA. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

formal issuances and submittals in
