65162 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 182 / Thursday, September 21, 2023 / Notices 

1A pipeline loop is a segment of pipe constructed 

parallel to an existing pipeline to increase capacity. 

Columbia requests authorization to 

construct and operate its VRP in 

Greensville, Prince George, Sussex, 

Surry, Southampton, and Isle of Wight 

Counties, Virginia, and in the cities of 

Suffolk and Chesapeake, Virginia. The 

VRP is designed to provide an 

additional 100,000 Dekatherms per day 

(Dth/d) of firm transportation service for 

Virginia Natural Gas, Inc. (VNG), from 

the existing interconnection between 

Transco and Columbia in Greensville 

County, Virginia to VNG’s existing 

delivery point in Chesapeake County, 

Virginia. 

Transco requests authorization to 

construct, operate, and maintain its CEC 

Project in Mecklenburg, Brunswick, and 

Greensville Counties, Virginia. The CEC 

Project is designed to provide an 

additional 105,000 Dth/d of firm 

transportation service for VNG from 

Transco’s existing Station 165 Zone 5 

Pooling Point in Pittsylvania County, 

Virginia, to the existing interconnection 

between Transco and Columbia in 

Greensville County, Virginia, where 

VNG has contracted with Columbia for 

further firm transportation service. 

The final EIS assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the VRP 

and the CEC Project (the Projects) in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that 

approval of the proposed Projects, with 

the mitigation measures recommended 

in the EIS, would result in some adverse 

environmental impacts; however, with 

the exception of potential impacts on 

climate change, FERC staff concludes 

that impacts would not be significant. 

Climate change impacts are not 

characterized in the EIS as significant or 

insignificant. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(USACE), Norfolk District, and the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) 

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. Although these agencies 

provided input to the conclusions and 

recommendations presented in the EIS, 

the agencies may present their own 

conclusions and recommendations in 

any applicable Records of Decision or 

other documentation for the Projects. 

The final EIS addresses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

following VRP facilities, all in Virginia: 

• replacement of about 49.2 miles of 

the existing 12-inch-diameter VM–107 

and VM–108 pipelines with 24-inchdiameter pipeline mostly within 

Columbia’s existing right-of-way, in 

Sussex, Surry, Southampton, and Isle of 

Wight Counties, as well as in the cities 

of Suffolk and Chesapeake; 

• installation of one new 5,500- 

horsepower (HP) dual-drive compressor 

unit at the existing Emporia Compressor 

Station in Greensville County; 

• modification of the existing 

compressor units and an increase in 

power by 2,700 HP at the existing 

Petersburg Compressor Station in Prince 

George County; 

• modification of the Emporia Point 

of Receipt in Greensville County, 

Regulator Station 7423 in Prince George 

County, and MS–831010 Point of 

Delivery in Chesapeake; and 

• replacement of eight mainline 

valves (MLV), installation of one new 

MLV and five new launchers/receivers, 

and replacement or installation of other 

minor appurtenant facilities. 

The final EIS addresses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

following CEC Project facilities, all in 

Virginia: 

• construction of a 6.35-mile-long, 24- 

inch-diameter pipeline loop 1 (referred 

to as the Commonwealth Loop), 

including valve and launcher/receiver 

facilities, in Brunswick and Greensville 

Counties; 

• addition of a 33,000–HP electric 

motor-driven compressor unit at the 

existing Compressor Station 168 in 

Mecklenburg County; and 

• modification of the existing 

Emporia Metering and Regulation 

Station in Greensville County. 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

Notice of Availability to Federal, State, 

and local government representatives 

and agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

and newspapers and libraries in the area 

of the Projects. The final EIS is only 

available in electronic format. It may be 

viewed and downloaded from the 

FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov), on the 

natural gas environmental documents 

page (https://www.ferc.gov/industriesdata/natural-gas/environment/
