 Docket No. CP09-17-000 

TO THE PARTY ADDRESSED: 

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) has prepared a draft 

environmental impact statement (EIS) on the 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 Alabama and Florida. 

The draft EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that the proposed project, with the appropriate mitigation measures 

as recommended, would have limited adverse environmental impact. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) and U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service 

(USFS) are cooperating agencies for this 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 cooperating agencies pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water 

Act (33 United States Code [USC] 1344), Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC 403), right-ofway grants within the Apalachicola National Forest (ANF), and/or temporary use permits. The COE would 

adopt the EIS per Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1506.3 (40 CFR 1506.3) if, after an independent 

review of the document, it concludes that its comments and suggestions have been satisfied. The USFS 

manages all federal lands (ANF) 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 

will obtain the views of the public prior to reaching an easement decision. 

The draft EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the following Project facilities: 

• construction and operation of about 357.3 miles of mixed-diameter looping segments 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 three mixed-diameter segments of 

greenfield pipeline in Lafayette, Madison, Manatee, DeSoto, Highlands, Okeechobee, 

Martin, and Suwannee Counties, Florida; 

• acquisition from Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) one 22.7 mile 20-inch-diameter 

segment of pipeline, located in Martin County, Florida, as an “in service” pipeline; 

• installation 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; 

• acquisition of additional property directly adjacent to four existing compressor stations for 

expansion, expand four compressor stations within their right-of-way, and acquire the 

property for one new compressor station; and 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
Docket No. CP09-17-000 - 2 - 

• construction and operation of new meter and regulator (M&R) Stations in Suwannee County, 

Manatee County, and Martin County, Florida; upgrade two M&R Stations in Mobile County, 

Alabama and Martin County, Florida; and construct one new regulator station in Lafayette 

County, Florida.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

INTRODUCTION 

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared 

this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to assess the environmental impacts associated with the 

construction of facilities proposed by Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC (FGT) in accordance 

with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. This project is referred to as the 

Phase VIII Expansion Project (Project). The purpose of this document is to inform the public and federal 

and state agencies about the potential environmental impacts of the Project and its alternatives, and to 

recommend appropriate mitigation that would avoid or reduce significant adverse impacts. The U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers (COE) is coordinating with FERC as a cooperating agency under Title 40 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 1506.1(b) (40 CFR 1506.1[b]) to ensure the EIS may be adopted 

by the COE under 40 CFR 1506.3. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (USFS), 

representing the Apalachicola National Forest, is also a cooperating agency which has participated in the 

development of this EIS. 

PROJECT BACKGROUND 

On March 4, 2008, we1

 approved a request by FGT, a wholly owned subsidiary of El Paso 

Corporation, to use the FERC’s Pre-filing Process for this Project. Prior to FGT’s formal application, 

FERC staff began its environmental review of the Project under Docket No. PF08-14-000. On October 

31, 2008, FGT filed an application with the FERC in Docket Number CP09-17-000 under Section 7 of the 

Natural Gas Act, as amended, and Parts 157 and 284 of the Commission’s regulations. FGT’s application 

seeks a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate) to construct, own, operate, and 

maintain new interstate natural gas pipeline, compressor, and ancillary facilities in Alabama and Florida. 

PROPOSED ACTION 

As currently proposed, the Project would consist of looping2 portions of FGT’s existing pipelines 

(a total of 11 looping segments); installing compression at new or existing compressor stations; acquiring 

an existing lateral; and constructing new laterals (a total of 3 greenfield segments) in Alabama and 

Florida. FGT’s Project would involve the construction of about 483.2 miles of multi-diameter pipeline 

and associated pipeline support facilities, and the acquisition of 22.7 miles of lateral pipeline. FGT would 

also add compression and acquire additional acreage at eight existing compressor stations and would 

construct one new compressor station totaling about 213,600 horsepower (hp). In addition, the Project 

would involve construction of three new metering and regulating (M&R) stations, upgrades to two 

existing M&R stations, and construction of one new regulator station, as well as construction of auxiliary 

and appurtenant facilities. The Project would increase FGT’s certificated capacity for the transportation 

of natural gas by about 820 million cubic feet per day. 

FGT designed its Project to meet each of the following purpose: 

• provide additional firm transportation service to serve expanding needs within the State 

of Florida and the Gulf Coast; 

• provide a connection between the FGT mainline (East Leg) and the FGT pipeline located 

in the western half of the State of Florida (West Leg); 

 

1 “Our,” “we,” and “us” refer to the environmental staff of the FERC’s Office of Energy Projects. 

2 A loop is a segment of pipeline that is usually installed adjacent to an existing pipeline and connected to it at both ends. The 

loop allows more gas to be moved through the existing system.

• provide additional natural gas pipeline service to power plants located in Martin and 

Miami-Dade Counties, Florida; and 

• provide new natural gas service to power plants located in Manatee and Suwannee 

Counties, Florida. 

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT 

As part of the Pre-filing Process, the FERC staff worked with FGT to develop a public outreach 

plan for issue identification and stakeholder participation. FGT began implementing this outreach plan in 

April 2008 by sponsoring 11 local, public open houses to inform landowners, government officials, and 

the general public about the Project and inviting them to ask questions and express their Project-related 

comments and concerns. 

On May 19, 2008, the FERC issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Proposed Phase VIII Expansion Project, Request for Comments on Environmental 

Issues, and Notice of Public Scoping Meetings (NOI). This notice was sent to 5,410 interested parties, 

including affected landowners; federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials; Native 

American tribes; environmental and public interest groups; and local libraries and newspapers. The 

FERC staff continued to receive and consider comments during the entire pre-filing period and 

throughout the development of this EIS. We held four public scoping meetings along the Project route to 

provide the public an opportunity to learn more about the Project and comment on the scope of 

environmental issues to be included in the draft EIS. These meetings were held in Crestview, Perry, Lutz, 

and Lake Placid, Florida, during the evenings of June 3, 4, 10, and 12, 2008, respectively. 

Additionally, we initiated agency consultations to identify issues important to other federal and 

state permit issuing agencies that should be addressed in the EIS. Agency consultation meetings were 

held in Mobile, Alabama on June 3, 2008; Tallahassee and Jacksonville, Florida on June 5, 2008; St. 

Petersburg, Florida on June 10, 2008; and West Palm Beach, Florida on June, 13, 2008. Participants in 

these meetings included representatives of COE Mobile and Jacksonville District Offices, USFS, U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), National Marine Fisheries Service/National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NMFS), Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Alabama 

Department of Environmental Management, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), 

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Florida Department of Forestry, Suwannee River 

Water Management District, Northwest Florida Water Management District, Southwest Florida Water 

Management District, and South Florida Water Management District. Further, we met with the FWS 

again on January 21, 2009. 

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 

Construction and operation of the Project would result in numerous impacts on the environment. 

We evaluated the impacts of the Project, as reduced by FGT’s proposed mitigations, on geology, soils, 

water resources, vegetation, wildlife, fisheries, special status species, land use, visual resources, 

socioeconomics, cultural resources, air quality, noise, and safety. Where necessary, we have 

recommended additional mitigation to minimize or avoid these impacts. We also considered the 

cumulative impacts of this Project with other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable actions in the 

Project area. Section 5.2 of the EIS contains a compilation of our recommended mitigation. 

Overall, construction of the Project facilities would require the temporary disturbance of about 

6,124 acres for construction, including extra workspaces, yards, access roads, and aboveground facilities. 

Approximately 2,890 acres (2,831 acres for pipeline facilities and 59 acres for the aboveground facilities) 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
ES-3 

would be retained as permanent easements for operation of the facilities. The remaining 3,234 acres of 

land disturbed during construction would be allowed to return to pre-construction conditions and uses. 

The proposed pipeline facilities would cross about 161 miles of commercial/industrial land, 131 

miles of agricultural land, 78 miles of open land, 62 miles of forested areas, 38 miles of planted pine, and 

12 miles of residential lands. Impacts from construction and operation (including maintenance mowing) 

of the Project right-of-way on agricultural and open land would be temporary or short-term, while impacts 

on forested areas would be long-term to permanent. The Project would affect Conservation Reserve 

Program lands in Baldwin and Escambia Counties, Alabama, and Walton and Washington Counties, 

Florida. FGT would implement erosion controls to contain disturbances within work areas. After 

construction, FGT would revegetate all lands affected by the Project with the exception of actively 

cultivated cropland. 

Based on past experience in the Project area, FGT anticipates that blasting may be required 

during construction of the Project in limited, specific locations rather than over extensive lengths of the 

Project. In general, where rock (i.e., limestone) is encountered at or near the surface, rock weathering is 

anticipated to allow mechanical trenching and ripping installation techniques. 

Construction of the Project facilities would disturb soils, resulting in increased potential for 

erosion, compaction, mixing of topsoil, and the introduction of rock into the topsoil. Prime farmland 

constitutes approximately 7 percent of the affected Project area. Although over 50 percent of the 

proposed Project area’s soils are highly erodible by wind, a very small percentage (less than 3 percent) is 

highly erodible by sheet and rill erosion. The impacts on soils would be effectively minimized through 

the use of erosion control and revegetation measures described in the FGT’s Upland Erosion Control, 

Revegation and Maintenance Plan (Plan). 

Standard pipeline construction procedures could affect groundwater resources by altering 

overland water flow and infiltration rates. The potential for contamination from spills of diesel fuel and 

hydraulic fluid is also a concern. FGT has provided a Spill Prevention and Response (SPAR) Plan to 

reduce the potential for spills and to control and remove any spills that may occur. We have determined 

that FGT’s proposed erosion control measures outlined in its Plan, its proposed measures to protect water 

wells, and its SPAR Plan would adequately protect groundwater resources during Project construction 

and operation. 

The Project would cross a total of 388 waterbodies (streams, ponds, and canals). FGT would 

minimize construction related impacts on waterbody crossings (e.g., aquatic habitat modification, 

sedimentation and turbidity, and decreased dissolved oxygen) by implementing its Wetland and 

Waterbody Construction and Mitigation Procedures (Procedures) and constructing in accordance with 

applicable permits. FGT also proposes to cross 12 of the 13 major (i.e., wider than 100 feet) waterbodies 

using the horizontal directional drill (HDD) crossing method. 

Based on the results of consultation with the NMFS Southeast Regional Office, about 4 miles of 

Loop 11 in Miami-Dade County would cross essential fish habitat (EFH), as defined by the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, including three canal crossings. FGT has committed 

to purchasing mitigation credits to offset any temporary impacts on EFH that would occur as a result of 

the Project and would cross the canals using the HDD method. We believe implementation of its 

Procedures, paralleling and overlapping existing rights-of-way to the extent practicable, and these credits 

would minimize and mitigate impacts on EFH. Therefore, no permanent impacts on EFH would be 

expected.

ES-4 

The Project would result in both temporary and long-term impacts on wetlands. The impact on 

the emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands would be temporary because the vegetation would return into a 

community functioning similar to the pre-construction condition. However, the clearing of forested 

wetlands would result in long-term impact because of the slow growth rate of trees. FGT would 

implement the mitigation measures in its Procedures to control erosion and restore the grade and 

hydrology following construction in wetlands. FGT would purchase mitigation credits from COE- and 

state-approved wetland banks to offset temporary and permanent loss of wetland functional value within 

PFO and PSS wetlands. 

Based on consultations with the FWS, 84 federally listed or species proposed to be listed have the 

potential to occur in the general vicinity of the Project. As a result of survey and analysis, we determined 

that the Project would likely adversely affect 4 listed species, including the eastern indigo snake, the 

gopher tortoise, Florida scrub jay, and the red-cockaded woodpecker. We are requesting that the FWS 

consider this draft EIS as the Biological Assessment for FGT’s Project as we continue the consultation 

process under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.. 

FGT’s proposal places the construction work area in close proximity to over 100 residences. 

FGT proposes special residential construction measures to minimize Project impacts on these residences 

and has developed site-specific residential construction plans which are appended to the draft EIS. We 

have reviewed FGT’s residential plans and mitigation measures and find that they adequately minimize 

impacts. The construction work area would also affect numerous non-residential structures (e.g. garages, 

sheds, commercial buildings). Similar to the residences, FGT has developed site-specific construction 

plans and mitigation measures for any active businesses or commercial facilities. 

The proposed pipeline route crosses 24 public lands, recreation areas, and other special-use areas. 

These lands are owned and/or managed by federal, state, regional, and county agencies or are privatelyowned lands with designated conservation easements. Impacts on these areas during construction would 

include clearing of vegetation, noise, dust, and the disruption of recreational uses. Operational impacts 

would include permanent changes in vegetation resulting from right-of-way maintenance. FGT proposes 

right-of-way restriction measures within these special lands such as fences, gates, and other means 

following construction. No aboveground facilities are proposed within these areas. We believe Project 

impacts would not be significant on public land uses because a majority of the proposed facilities parallel 

existing rights-of-way through these areas and due to FGT’s proposed mitigation measures included in its 

Plan and Procedures. 

FGT has not yet completed cultural resource surveys for about 14.4 miles of the Project (due to 

denied access). Phase II evaluatory testing also needs to be completed at numerous sites to determine 

eligibility for the NRHP. Once cultural resource surveys and eligibility evaluations are complete, FGT 

would develop a treatment plan for our review and approval to address any historic properties that would 

be adversely affected. Therefore, we have recommended that construction not be authorized to begin 

until the required studies and appropriate consultations have been completed. 

FGT would comply with all applicable air permit requirements from the appropriate state 

agencies for its compressor facilities. Most project-related air emissions would be produced by the 

operation of the compressor stations; however a screening analysis for each station indicates that the 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards would not be exceeded at any location. Therefore, it is not 

anticipated that the operation-related emissions would have a significant impact on air quality. 

Additionally, air dispersion modeling showed the predicted impacts as having minimal effect on the local 

environment with the overall conclusion that the Project would not result in a significant adverse impact 

on either the regional or local air quality.

ES-5 

All Project facilities would be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to meet or exceed 

the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Minimum Federal Safety Standards in 49 CFR 192 and other 

applicable federal and state regulations. By designing and operating the Project in accordance with the 

applicable standards, the Project would not result in significant increased public safety risk. 

Detailed discussions of Project impacts, FGT’s proposed mitigation, and our recommendations to 

avoid or further reduce impacts are presented in section 4 of the EIS. 

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 

Several alternatives to the Project were analyzed that could achieve a portion of the Project 

objectives. The range of alternatives includes a No Action Alternative, as well as alternatives which 

would use existing and proposed pipeline systems within the Project region. Various alternatives, 

including route alternatives, route variations, and aboveground facility site alternatives, were evaluated 

and compared to the corresponding Project segments, to determine if these alternatives offered 

environmentally preferable advantages. 

While the No Action and Postponed Action Alternatives would avoid the environmental impacts 

identified in this EIS, adoption of these alternatives would also preclude meeting the Project objectives. 

We evaluated five existing or proposed pipeline/gas delivery systems. Each system was 

determined insufficient for reasons that include capacity limitations, in-service dates scheduled beyond 

FGT’s commitments, delays in licensing, and infrastructure limitations. 

We evaluated a Cross-Gulf Route Alternative, which would entail installing the pipeline across 

the Gulf of Mexico from Alabama to Florida in addition to some onshore pipe. This alternative would 

require about 260 more miles of pipeline at almost twice the Project cost. Shorter route alternatives were 

considered for the Greenfield 1 and 3 segments. Although the alternative routes were collocated with 

road and utility corridors, other factors associated with these alternatives result in increased 

environmental impacts compared to the proposed route. Numerous route variations for looping and 

greenfield segments were evaluated during the pre-filing routing analysis of the proposed Project, 

including the use of modified (non-typical) construction methods to avoid or minimize impacts and 

address issues identified during scoping. Many of these variations were incorporated by FGT into its 

Project design, including crossovers of existing pipelines, reduced construction workspaces, non-typical 

construction methods (e.g., working over the existing pipelines for short distances), and alternative 

construction methods (e.g., HDD). Other route variations that were found to be infeasible or impractical 

from construction, engineering, or operational perspectives were not adopted by FGT and were eliminated 

from further consideration. 

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

We conclude that if the Project were constructed and operated in accordance with applicable laws 

and regulations, FGT’s proposed mitigation, and our recommendations presented in section 5.2 of this 

EIS, the Project would result in 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 draft EIS. The principal reasons 

for our decision included: 

• FGT’s collocation of the pipeline facilities, more than 99 percent would follow existing 

rights-of-way; 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
ES-6 

• the Project would be consistent with or in conformance with federal resource 

management plans; 

• FGT would implement resource- or activity-specific plans, procedures, and agreements to 

protect natural resources, avoid or limit environmental impacts, and promote restoration 

of all disturbed areas during construction and operation of the Project; 

• the use of the HDD method would avoid disturbances to a number of major and sensitive 

waterbodies along the route, including the Tampa Bypass Canal andHillsborough River; 

• the appropriate consultations with the FWS, COE, USFS, NMFS, SHPOs, FDEP, 

Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and other affected land 

management agencies, and any appropriate compliance actions resulting from these 

consultations, would be completed before FGT begins construction in any given area; and 

• an environmental inspection and monitoring program would be implemented to ensure 

compliance with all mitigation measures, Certificate conditions, and any other 

stipulations that may be included in permits issued by other authorizing federal, state, and 

local agencies. 

We have developed specific mitigation measures to further reduce the environmental impact that 

would otherwise result from construction of various Project components. The additional studies or field 

investigations that we have recommended typically would result in site-specific mitigation and further 

reduction of impact; therefore, we are recommending that these mitigation measures be attached as 

conditions to any Certificate issued by the Commission. We believe that the recommended mitigation 

measures would reduce most potential environmental impacts from FGT’s proposed action to less-thansignificant levels.

1.0 INTRODUCTION 

On October 31, 2008, Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC (FGT), a wholly owned 

subsidiary of El Paso Corporation, filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission or FERC) under section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, and Parts 157 and 

284 of FERC’s regulations. FGT is seeking a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity 

(Certificate) to construct, own, operate, and maintain new interstate natural gas pipeline, compression, 

and ancillary facilities in Alabama and Florida. FGT’s application was assigned Docket No. CP09-17-

000 and was noticed in the Federal Register (FR) on November 18, 2008 (73 FR 68,426). The 

environmental staff of the FERC prepared this draft environmental impact statement (EIS) to assess the 

environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of the new facilities proposed by 

FGT in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). 

FGT conducted an open season to solicit interest in a proposed mainline expansion. FPL (400 

billion British thermal units per day [BBtu/day]) and five other shippers (331 BBtu/day) have precident 

agreements with FGT. The remaining 89 BBtu/day remains as available capacity. FGT’s proposed Phase 

VIII Expansion Project (Project) would involve the construction and operation of about 483.2 miles of 

multi-diameter pipeline and associated pipeline support facilities, and the acquisition of 22.7 miles of 

lateral pipeline. About 357.3 miles of the Project would consist of looping3

 existing facilities, 125.9 miles 

would be new or “greenfield” construction in three segments (Greenfields 1, 2, and 3), and about 25.9 

miles of looping segment would involve the removal and replacement of previously abandoned4 24-inchdiameter pipeline. The Project includes about 59.0 miles and 424.2 miles of pipeline in Alabama and 

Florida, respectively. FGT would also add compression and acquire additional acreage at eight existing 

compressor stations, and would construct one new compressor station in Okeechobee County, Florida 

totaling about 213,600 horsepower (hp). In addition, the Project would involve construction of three new 

metering and pressure regulating (M&R) stations, one new regulator station, and upgrades to two existing 

M&R stations, as well as construction of auxiliary and appurtenant facilities. The Project is described in 

detail in section 2.0 of this EIS. 

FGT proposes to design and operate the new pipeline facilities at a maximum allowable operating 

pressure (MAOP) of 1,333 pounds per square inch gauge. FGT also filed a permit application with the 

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)5

 to operate certain segments of its 

existing pipeline system at a greater MAOP than is currently authorized. In the event that FGT’s permit 

for increased MAOP is denied by the PHMSA, FGT would need to construct an additional 80.5 miles of 

mainline loops to meet the Project purpose. However, because FGT expects to receive the authorization 

prior to construction, we6

 are not analyzing the impacts associated with this additional 80.5 miles in this 

EIS. If, at some point, FGT requests authorization for these facilities, the Commission will conduct the 

appropriate environmental review as part of that proceeding. 

The Project would increase FGT’s certificated capacity by about 820 million cubic feet per day 

(MMcf/d). FGT proposes to begin construction in January of 2010. The FGT precedent agreement7

3 A pipeline “loop” is a segment of pipeline that is installed adjacent to or in the vicinity of an existing pipeline and connected to 

the existing pipeline at both ends. A loop increases the volume of gas that can be transported through that portion of the system. 

4 Segments of FGT’s existing pipeline system immediately downstream of Compressor Stations 12 and 13 (on proposed Loops 3 

and 4, respectively) were abandoned by FGT under Docket No. CP92-182, et al. See Florida Gas Transmission Company, 62 

FERC ¶ 61,142 (1993).

Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) requires that FGT complete construction of the Greenfield 2 

segment and the associated M&R station by July 1, 2010 and the remainder of the Project by April 2011. 

FPL requested the earlier in-service date for Greenfield 2 to deliver natural gas to the Martin Power Plant, 

and in order to nominate volumes of natural gas delivery under their existing rate schedule service 

agreements until the new rate schedule for the Project facilities commences on April 1, 2011. 

1.1 PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED 

FGT represents the Project’s primary purpose originated as a result of the expanding demand for 

additional firm natural gas transportation service for Florida’s electric generation needs. 

FGT designed its Project to meet each of the following objectives: 

• provide an additional firm natural gas transportation service to serve expanding needs 

within the State of Florida and Gulf Coast; 

• provide a connection between the FGT mainline (East Leg) and the FGT pipeline located 

in the western half of the state (West Leg); 

• provide an additional natural gas pipeline service to power plants located in Martin (FPL 

Martin Power Plant) and Miami-Dade Counties (Turkey Point Power Plant); and 

• provide a new natural gas service to power plants located in Manatee (FPL Manatee 

Power Plant) and Suwannee Counties (Suwannee Power Plant). 

FGT’s Project design would provide additional firm transportation service while minimizing the 

length of new pipeline to be constructed and maximizing its co-location of the new pipeline adjacent to 

existing linear infrastructure. 

1.2 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THIS EIS 

The principal purposes for preparing this EIS are to: 

• identify and assess the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative effects on the natural and 

human environment that would result from the implementation of the proposed action; 

• describe and evaluate reasonable alternatives to the Project that would avoid or 

substantially lessen any significant adverse effects on the human environment; 

• identify and recommend specific mitigation measures, as necessary, to avoid or minimize 

significant environmental impacts; and 

• encourage and facilitate involvement by the public and agencies in the environmental 

review process. 

The topics addressed in this EIS include Project alternatives and environmental impacts on 

geology, soils, water resources, wetlands, vegetation, wildlife, aquatic resources, essential fish habitat 

(EFH), special status species, land use, recreation, special interest areas, visual resources, 

socioeconomics, cultural resources, air quality, noise, reliability, safety, and cumulative effects. This EIS 

describes the affected environment as it currently exists, discusses the environmental consequences of the 

proposed Project, and compares the Project’s potential effects to that of the alternatives. This EIS also 

presents our conclusions and recommended mitigation measures. 

The FERC is the lead federal agency for the preparation of this EIS. The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (COE) is coordinating with FERC as a cooperating agency under Title 40 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations, Part 1506.1(b) (40 CFR 1506.1[b]) to ensure the EIS may be adopted by the COE to 

meet its own NEPA responsibilities under 40 CFR 1506.3. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
1-3 

Service (USFS) Apalachicola National Forest (ANF) is also a cooperating agency and has participated in 

the development of this EIS. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with 

respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and are involved in the NEPA analysis. The roles 

of the FERC, COE, and USFS in the Project review process are described in the following subsections. 

In addition to the lead and cooperating agencies, other federal, state, and local agencies may use this EIS 

in issuing permits or approvals for all or part of the Project. This EIS will provide a basis for coordinated 

federal decision making in a single document, avoiding duplication between federal processes. Federal, 

state, and local permits, approvals, and consultations for the Project are discussed in section 1.5. 

1.2.1 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

The FERC is the federal agency responsible for evaluating applications filed for authorization to 

construct and operate interstate natural gas transmission facilities. As such, the FERC is the lead federal 

agency for the preparation of this EIS in compliance with the requirements of NEPA, the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR 

1500-1508), and the FERC’s regulations implementing NEPA (18 CFR 380). 

As the lead federal agency for the Project, the FERC is required to comply with Section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (MSFCMA), Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), and Section 307 of the 

Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA). Each of these statutes has been taken into account in 

the preparation of this EIS. The FERC will use the document to consider the environmental impacts that 

could result if it issues FGT a Certificate under Section 7 of the NGA. 

This EIS presents our review of potential environmental impacts and reasonable 

recommendations to avoid or mitigate impacts. The EIS will be used as an element of the Commission’s 

review of the applicant’s filings to determine whether a Certificate would be issued for the Project. The 

FERC will also consider non-environmental issues in its review of FGT’s application. Authorizations 

will be granted only if the FERC finds that the evidence produced on financing, rates, market demand, gas 

supply, existing facilities and service, environmental impacts, long-term feasibility, and other issues 

demonstrate that a project is in the public’s interest. Environmental impact assessment and mitigation 

development are important factors in the overall public interest determination. 

1.2.2 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

The COE has jurisdictional authority pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 

U.S. Code [USC] 1344), which governs the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United 

States, and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC 403), which regulates any work or 

structures that potentially affect the navigable capacity of a waterbody. Because the COE must comply 

with the requirements of NEPA before issuing permits under these statutes, it has elected to participate as 

a cooperating agency in the preparation of this EIS. The COE would adopt this EIS pursuant to 40 CFR 

1506.3 if, after an independent review of the document, it concludes that its comments and suggestions 

have been satisfied. The Project occurs within the Mobile and Jacksonville Districts of the COE’s South 

Atlantic Division. Staff from each COE district office participated in the NEPA review and each district 

will evaluate the Project for district-specific COE authorizations, as applicable. However, the 

Jacksonville District Office is considered the COE lead in preparation of this EIS. 

As an element of its review, the COE must consider whether a proposed project avoids, 

minimizes, and compensates for impacts on existing aquatic resources, including wetlands, to achieve a 

goal of no net loss of values and functions.

1-4 

Although this document addresses environmental impacts associated with the proposed actions as 

they relate to Section 404 of the CWA and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, it does not serve as 

a Public Notice for any COE permits. Such Public Notice will be issued separately during the comment 

period for the draft EIS. The COE’s Record of Decision (ROD) resulting from consideration of this EIS 

and materials submitted by FGT will formally document its decision on the proposed action, including 

Section 404 (b)(1) analysis and required environmental mitigation commitments. 

1.2.3 Apalachicola National Forest 

The ANF manages federal lands that would be crossed by this Project. Federal lands are defined 

as “all lands owned by the United States except lands in the National Park System, lands held in trust for 

an Indian or Indian Tribe, and lands on the Outer Continental Shelf” (30 USC 3[A]). FGT’s proposed 

action on ANF lands must comply with the requirements of NEPA, ANF’s Land and Resource 

Management Plan (LRMP), authorizing legislation, and other ANF regulations, policies, and procedures 

before the ANF would grant or consent to an easement across lands under its administration. Further, 

mitigation would be required to offset habitat losses on federal lands before the necessary easements 

would be granted. This EIS contains information needed by ANF to reach a decision on granting FGT an 

easement. By participating as a cooperating agency in the preparation of this document, the ANF will 

obtain the views of the public prior to reaching an easement decision. As a cooperating agency, the USFS 

would adopt this EIS per 40 CFR 1506(c) if, after an independent review of the document, it concludes 

that its comments and suggestions have been satisfied. The ANF would not need to amend their existing 

LRMP for FGT’s action but would need to issue a special use permit. 

1.3 PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT 

On March 6, 2008, FGT filed a request with the FERC to implement the Commission’s Pre-filing 

Process for its Phase VIII Expansion Project.8

 At that time, FGT was in the preliminary design stage of 

the Project and no formal application had been filed with the Commission. On March 18, 2008, the 

FERC granted FGT’s request and established pre-filing Docket Number PF08-14-000 to place 

information related to the Project into the public record. The COE agreed to conduct its environmental 

review of the Project in conjunction with the Commission’s Pre-filing Process. 

The Pre-filing Process provides opportunities for interested stakeholders to become involved 

early in project planning, facilitates interagency communication, and assists in the identification and 

resolution of issues prior to a formal application being filed with the Commission. As part of the Prefiling Process, FGT mailed notification letters to landowners, government and agency officials, and the 

general public informing them about the Project and inviting them to attend eleven open houses held in 

the Project areas of Alabama and Florida over a two-week period in mid-April, 2008. The purpose of 

these open houses was to inform the general public and agencies about the Project and provide them an 

opportunity to ask FGT questions and express their concerns while the Project was still in the preliminary 

design stage. Notifications of the open houses were also published in local newspapers. The open houses 

were held in Mt. Vernon, Alabama and Crestview, Chipley, Quincy, Perry, Fannie Springs, Crystal River, 

Thonotosassa, Arcadia, Okeechobee, and Mayo, Florida, between April 14 and April 24, 2008. FERC 

staff participated in the open houses to explain the pre-filing and environmental review processes to 

interested stakeholders. In addition, we conducted site visits of various portions of the proposed route 

during the same period. 

 

8 FGT’s initial Project description included the facilities associated with the “extended pipeline” action, wherein no increase in 

MAOP was assumed.

On May 19, 2008, the FERC issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Proposed Phase VIII Expansion Project, Request for Comments on Environmental 

Issues, and Notice of Public Scoping Meetings (NOI). This notice was sent to 5,410 interested parties 

including affected landowners and landowners abutting the Project or within 0.5 mile of proposed new or 

modified compressor stations; federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials; Native 

American tribes; environmental and public interest groups; other interested parties; and local libraries and 

newspapers. The NOI described the Project and environmental review process, provided a preliminary 

list of EIS issues, invited written comments on the environmental issues to be addressed in this EIS, and 

listed the dates and locations of public scoping meetings to be held in communities in the Project area. 

These meetings were held in Crestview, Perry, Lutz, and Lake Placid, Florida, during the evenings of 

June 3, 4, 10, and 12, 2008, respectively. Excluding representatives of FGT, FERC staff and third-party 

contractor staff, a total of 64 people attended the 4 scoping meetings, of which 8 people commented 

during these meetings.9

 Commenters primarily expressed concerns about the impact of the Project on 

private property and future property uses. Transcripts of these comments are part of the public record for 

the Phase VIII Expansion Project and are available for inspection on the FERC website.10

FERC initiated interagency scoping meetings in Mobile, Alabama and in Tallahassee, 

Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, and West Palm Beach, Florida to identify issues that should be included in 

this EIS. On June 3, 2008, we conducted an interagency meeting in Mobile, Alabama. Agencies present 

at that meeting included the COE, Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources 

(ADCNR), and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM). On June 5, 2008, we 

conducted interagency meetings in Tallahassee and Jacksonville, Florida. Agencies present at the 

Tallahassee meeting included the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), COE, USFS, Florida 

Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission 

(FWCC), Florida Department of Forestry (FDOF), Suwannee River Water Management District 

(SRWMD), and the Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD). Staff from the COE 

Mobile and Jacksonville District offices participated in the Jacksonville meeting. On June 10, 2008, we 

conducted an interagency scoping meeting in St. Petersburg, Florida, with the FWS, COE, National 

Marine Fisheries Service/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NMFS), FDEP, and the 

Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). On June 13, 2008, we conducted an 

interagency scoping meeting in West Palm Beach, Florida with the FWS, FDEP, FWCC, and South 

Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The issues identified by agencies attending these 

meetings are addressed in this EIS. 

Publication of the NOI established a 30-day public comment period for the submission of 

comments, concerns, and issues related to the environmental aspects of the Project. The comment period 

for the NOI closed on June 20, 2008; however, the Commission continued to receive and accept 

comments after the close of the comment period. In response to the NOI, FERC received one letter from 

a federal agency, six letters from state agencies, four letters from county agencies, three letters from other 

agencies and organizations, and 16 letters from landowners. 

 

9 No comments were received at the Perry or Lake Placid meetings, five people commented at the Crestview meeting, and three 

people commented at the Lutz meeting. 

10 Public meeting transcripts and a summary of the issues discussed during the agency scoping meetings are available for 

viewing on the FERC Internet website (http://www.ferc.gov). Using the “eLibrary” link, select “general Search” from the 

eLibrary menu, enter the selected date range and “Docket No.” excluding the last three digits (i.e., CP09-17), and follow the 

instructions. (For assistance, call 1-866-208-3676, or e-mail FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov.) Because scoping was conducted 

during the Pre-filing review (before FGT filed a formal application with the FERC on October 31, 2008), PF08-14 must be used 

in the Docket No. field to view the public scoping transcripts. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
1-6 

Each of the scoping comment letters were evaluated to identify substantive issues to be addressed 

in this EIS. Of the combined written and oral comments, approximately 20 percent dealt with nonenvironmental issues such as interagency communication, administrative issues, or requests for additional 

information (e.g., detailed maps). Although FERC recognizes that these issues are of interest to the 

commentors, they do not help us define the scope of this EIS. All written comments are part of the public 

record for the Project and are available for viewing on the FERC Internet website (http://www.ferc.gov). 

Table 1.3-1 summarizes the substantive environmental issues or concerns we identified during the Project 

scoping process and identifies the draft EIS section in which each issue or concern is addressed. 

This Draft EIS was filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and mailed to 

federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials; Native American tribes; local libraries and 

newspapers; intervenors11 in the FERC’s proceeding; and other interested parties (i.e., landowners, 

individuals, and environmental groups who provided scoping comments or responded to the NOI). The 

distribution list for the draft EIS is presented in appendix A. The public has 45 days after the date of 

publication in the Federal Register to review and comment on the draft EIS either in the form of written 

comments and at public meetings held in the Project area. Comments on environmental issues that are 

received on the Draft EIS will be addressed in the Final EIS. 

1.4 NON-JURISDICTIONAL FACILITIES 

Under Section 7 of the NGA, the FERC is required to consider, as part of its decision to authorize 

interstate natural gas facilities, all factors bearing on the public convenience and necessity. Occasionally, 

proposed projects have associated facilities that do not come under the jurisdiction of the Commission. 

These “non-jurisdictional” facilities may be integral to the need for the proposed facilities (e.g., a power 

plant at the end of a FERC-jurisdictional pipeline) or they may be merely associated as a minor, nonintegral component of the jurisdictional facilities that would be constructed and operated as a result of the 

proposed facilities. 

The FERC has adopted a four-factor procedure to determine whether there is sufficient federal 

control and responsibility over a project as a whole to warrant environmental analysis of portions of the 

project outside the Commission’s direct sphere of responsibility. These factors are: 

• whether the regulated activity comprises “merely a link” in a corridor type project (e.g., a 

transportation or utility transmission project); 

• whether there are aspects of the non-jurisdictional facility in the immediate vicinity of the 

regulated activity which uniquely determine the location and configuration of the 

regulated activity; 

• the extent to which the entire project will be within the FERC’s jurisdiction; and 

• the extent of cumulative federal control and responsibility. 

There are 13 non-jurisdictional facilities that have been identified in association with the Project. 

This includes seven existing power plants that would be modified to replace the fuel source from fuel oil 

to natural gas, two new power plants would be constructed to be fueled by natural gas to be delivered by 

the Project, and four electric power suppliers that would be extending power facilities to accommodate 

the proposed electric motors for compression at four existing compressor stations. A summary of these 

facilities is provided in table 1.4-1. 

 

11 Intervenors are official parties to the proceeding and have the right to receive copies of case-related Commission documents 

and filings by other intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor must provide 14 copies of its filings to the Secretary of the 

Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all other intervenors. Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the 

Commission’s decision.

 After applying the four-factor procedure to these Project-related facilities, we determined that the 

FERC’s control and responsibility is not sufficient to extend our environmental review to include the nonjurisdictional electric facilities for the reasons listed below: 

• First, FGT’s Project is clearly a link in a corridor type project. The Project would supply 

natural gas from western suppliers to the respective power plants. Greenfields 1 and 2 

are being constructed to supply natural gas directly to the Suwannee Power Plant and the 

Manatee Power Plant. 

• As to the second factor, there are no aspects of the non-jurisdictional facilities that 

uniquely determine the location and configuration of the Project with the exception of the 

ending location for the power plants. The electric transmission facilities would be 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
1-9 

constructed regardless of the compressor station locations, and the Project could be 

routed differently to reach the same end point (i.e., power plant). 

• In consideration of the third factor, none of the environmental review for the power plant 

addition activities or the electric power supplier facilities are within the FERC’s 

jurisdiction. 

• The fourth factor, the extent of cumulative federal control and responsibility over the 

non-jurisdictional facilities, is minimal. Seven of the facilities are existing and would not 

require any additional construction. The new facilities would be required to obtain 

permits, and go through an environmental review, from the Florida Power Siting Act, 

and/or the COE (if wetlands or waterbodies would be crossed). These actions are 

independent of the FERC’s decision whether to approve the Project and do not warrant 

“federalizing” these non-jurisdictional facilities. 

1.5 PERMITS, APPROVALS, AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 

Table 1.5-1 lists the major federal, state, and local permits, approvals, and consultations that 

apply to FGT’s Project. FGT would be responsible for obtaining all permits and approvals required to 

implement the Project. Any state or local permits issued with respect to the Project’s jurisdictional 

facilities must be consistent with the conditions of any Certificate the Commission may issue for this 

Project. Although the Commission encourages cooperation between interstate pipelines and local 

authorities, this does not mean that state or local agencies, through application of state and local laws, 

may prohibit or unreasonably delay the construction or operation of facilities approved by the 

Commission.12 

Section 7 of the ESA, as amended, states that any project authorized, funded, or conducted by any 

federal agency (e.g., the Commission) should not "...jeopardize the continued existence of any endangered 

species or threatened species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of habitat of such species 

which is determined...to be critical..." (16 USC 1536(a)(2)(1988)). The Commission, or FGT as a nonfederal party, is required to consult with the FWS and NMFS to determine whether any federally listed or 

proposed endangered or threatened species, or their designated critical habitat, occur in the vicinity of the 

Project. If, upon review of existing data or data provided by FGT, the Commission determines that these 

species or habitats may be affected by the Project, the Commission is required to prepare a Biological 

Assessment (BA) to identify the nature and extent of adverse impact, and to recommend mitigation 

measures that would avoid the habitat and/or species or that would reduce potential impacts to acceptable 

levels. If, however, the Commission determines that no federally listed or proposed endangered or 

threatened species or their designated critical habitat would be affected by the Project, no further action 

would be required under the ESA. See section 4.7 of this EIS for the status of this review. 

The MSFCMA, as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-267), 

established procedures designed to identify, conserve, and enhance EFH for those species regulated under 

a federal fisheries management plan. The MSFCMA requires federal agencies to consult with NMFS on 

all actions or proposed actions authorized, funded, or undertaken by the agency that may adversely affect 

EFH (MSFCMA 305(b)(2)). Although absolute criteria have not been established for conducting EFH 

consultations, NMFS recommends consolidating EFH consultations with interagency coordination 

procedures required by other statues, such as NEPA, the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, or the ESA 

 

12 See, e.g., Schneidewind v. ANR Pipeline Co., 485 U.S. 293 (1988); National Fuel Gas Supply v. Public Service Commission,

(50 CFR 600.920(e)), to reduce duplication and improve efficiency. As part of this consultation process, 

the FERC has prepared an EFH assessment as described in section 4.6 of this EIS.

Section 106 of the NHPA requires the FERC to take into account the effects of its undertakings 

on properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), including 

prehistoric or historic-period sites, districts, buildings, structures, objects, or properties of traditional 

religious or cultural importance, and to afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) an 

opportunity to comment on the undertaking. FGT, acting as a non-federal party, is assisting the FERC in 

meeting our obligations under Section 106 by preparing the necessary information, analyses, and 

recommendations as required by the ACHP regulations in 36 CFR 800. See section 4.10 of this EIS for 

the status of this review. 

FGT must comply with Sections 401, 402, and 404 of the CWA. Water quality certification 

(Section 401) has been delegated to the jurisdiction of individual state agencies, with review by the EPA. 

Water used for hydrostatic testing that is point-source discharged into waterbodies would require a 

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit (Section 402) issued by the state with 

EPA oversight. 

The COE has responsibility for determining compliance with all regulatory requirements 

associated with Section 404 of the CWA. The EPA also independently reviews Section 404 applications 

for wetland dredge-and-fill applications for the COE and has Section 404(c) veto power for wetland 

permits issued by the COE. The Section 404 permitting process regulates the discharge of dredged and 

fill material associated with the construction of pipelines across streams and in wetlands. Before an 

individual Section 404 permit can be issued, the CWA requires completion of a Section 404(b)(1) 

guideline analysis. The FERC, in the NEPA review represented by this EIS, has analyzed all technical 

issues required for the Section 404(b)(1) guideline analyses, including analysis of natural resources and 

cultural resources that would be affected by the Project, as well as analyses of alternatives and route 

variations. The results of our analysis of alternatives and route variations is provided in section 3 and a 

summary of wetland studies are provided in section 4.4 of this EIS. 

In addition to its CWA responsibilities, the COE has jurisdiction over Section 10 permits which 

would be required for all construction activities in navigable waterways under the Rivers and Harbors Act 

of 1899. Waterbody crossing methods and impacts associated with construction and operation are 

summarized in section 4.3 of this EIS. 

The USFS has responsibility for issuing a special use permit for FGT’s proposed crossing of the 

ANF. The USFS would use this EIS to meet its NEPA responsibilities in considering FGT’s special use 

permit application. The USFS’s concurrence or non-concurrence of the permit’s issuance would be based 

on consistency of the Project with their land management plan and conformance with other applicable 

guidance and mandates, and to identify, analyze, and disclose any land use plan amendments that would 

be necessary to implement the proposed action. The USFS would prepare a ROD to document the 

Regional Forester’s decision to issue a new special use permit to FGT to allow the expansion of the 

existing utility corridor as described in the EIS. 

Ambient air quality is protected by federal regulations under the Clean Air Act (CAA). These 

regulations include compliance under the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and the 

requirements for the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD). The federal permitting process for 

the CAA has been delegated to individual state agencies. Although applications are reviewed by both the 

states and the EPA, the states would determine the need for NSPS or a PSD permit. Air impacts that 

could occur as a result of construction and operation of the Project are evaluated in section 4.11.1 of this 

EIS.

The CZMA calls for the “effective management, beneficial use, protection, and development” of 

the nation’s coastal zone and promotes active state involvement in achieving those goals. As a means to 

reach those goals, the CZMA requires participating states to develop management programs that 

demonstrate how these states will meet their obligations and responsibilities in managing their coastal 

areas. In Florida, the FDEP administers the Coastal Zone Management Program (CZMP) and in 

Alabama, it is administered by the ADCNR and the ADEM. Because Section 307 of the CZMA requires 

federal agency activities to be consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the enforceable policies 

of a management program, the FERC has requested that FGT seek a determination of consistency with 

Florida and Alabama’s CZMP. See section 4.8.8 of this EIS for additional discussion of the state CZMPs.

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION 

2.1 PROPOSED FACILITIES 

FGT proposes to construct and operate an expansion to its existing pipeline and compression 

facilities in Alabama and Florida. The Phase VIII Expansion Project would consist of the construction of 

approximately 483.2 miles of multi-diameter pipeline and associated pipeline support facilities, as well as 

the acquisition of 22.7 miles of existing lateral pipeline. The pipeline support facilities would consist of 

compressor stations, laterals to new interconnections, aboveground sites for M&R stations, pigging 

facilities13, mainline valves (MLVs), and other auxiliary and appurtenant facilities such as control 

systems, side valves, and remote vents. 

A summary of the proposed pipeline and aboveground facilities is provided in table 2.1-1. A 

general location map is provided as figure 2.1-1 and detailed facility location maps are provided in 

appendix B of this EIS (Volume II). The FGT pipeline facilities and aboveground facilities are described 

in greater detail in section 2.1.1.

2.1.1 Pipeline Facilities 

FGT would construct approximately 357.3 miles of mainline loops, 125.9 miles of greenfield14

mainline. A total of approximately 25.9 miles of the looping segments would involve the removal of 

previously abandoned 24-inch-diameter pipeline and installation of 36-inch-diameter pipeline in the same 

ditch. Because there would be no ground disturbance associated with the acquisition, it will not be 

discussed further in this EIS. Table 2.1.1-1 lists the pipeline facilities by pipe diameter, pipeline length, 

approximate milepost (MP), county, and state. 

FGT would generally route its looping segments parallel to its existing pipelines with an offset 

typically 25 feet from the nearest existing FGT pipeline. In Alabama and the Panhandle of Florida (i.e.,

Loops 1 through 6), where multiple FGT pipelines exist, FGT’s general routing objective was to place the 

new pipeline adjacent to the most recently constructed pipeline (usually on the south side of the existing 

pipelines) in order to utilize the most recently disturbed extra workspace. Typically, this would also 

facilitate construction and operation adjacent to a pipeline with similar diameter and operating pressure, 

which would also have operational benefits for FGT. In the Florida peninsula (i.e., Loops 7 through 11) 

where just one existing FGT pipeline would be looped, FGT’s general routing objective was to extend 

previously constructed loop segments and route the pipeline on the same side as the last looping segment 

constructed. Lastly, FGT proposes to route the greenfield segments to abut other existing rights-of-way 

(e.g., pipeline, transmission line, and roadway) to the extent possible. However, commercial development 

and urban encroachment along FGT’s existing pipelines and proposed greenfield routes have made it 

difficult to follow its general routing criteria in some locations. Where routing constraints or 

environmentally sensitive resources were encountered, FGT incorporated numerous variations into its 

Project design to work through the areas and avoid or minimize Project impacts, as described in section 

3.0 of this EIS. The typical right-of-way configurations and dimensions for each pipeline segment are 

summarized in section 2.2.1. 

Apalachicola National Forest

Loop 5 is routed through the ANF from MP 417.1A to 428.6A for a distance of about 10.9 miles. 

The loop would be a 36-inch-diameter pipeline that would be placed on the north side of FGT’s existing 

mainline easement for about the first 4.4 miles (from MP 417.1A to 422.0A) and on the south side for the 

remainder of the length across the ANF (from about MP 422.0A to 428.6A.) The loop would be offset 

about 25 feet from the nearest existing pipeline throughout the ANF except in wetlands where the offset 

would be reduced to about 15 feet in order to minimize wetland impacts. In addition, between 

approximately MPs 423.8A to 424.4A, the loop would diverge up to 500 feet southward from FGT’s 

nearest existing pipeline to avoid a large wetland. 

2.1.2 Aboveground Facilities 

FGT would install new or modify existing aboveground facilities at existing aboveground sites or 

in association with the new pipeline loops, greenfield mainlines, and laterals as part of the Project. The 

aboveground facilities would include one new compressor station and upgrades to eight existing 

compressor stations. Additionally, FGT would construct six new M&R station facilities, and install or 

modify 114 appurtenant and auxiliary facilities (i.e., pig15 launcher/receiver facilities, MLVs, side valves, 

crossover valves, control systems, remote vents, separators, regulators, and associated piping). 

 

14 Greenfield refers to a new route segment that is generally not adjacent to any existing pipelines or which serves a new 

delivery point. 

15 A pig is an internal tool that can be used to clean and dry a pipeline and/or to inspect it for damage or corrosion.

a Removal of previously abandoned 24-inch-diameter pipeline (under FERC Docket No.CP92-182 et.al.) and 

replacement with 36-inch-diameter pipeline for a total distance of 25.9 miles in both segments are included. 

b At approximate MP 408.5 FGT proposes to diverge from its existing 24-inch-diameter pipeline and rejoin at 

approximate MP 442.7, east of Tallahassee. The route taken by the 36-inch-diameter pipeline would be 

approximately 4.7 miles longer than the route taken by the existing 24-inch-diameter pipeline. 

2.1.2.1 Compressor Station Facilities 

Activities associated with Project aboveground facilities would include the addition of 

compression at eight existing compressor stations and the construction of one new compressor station. 

Overall, this would add 213,600 hp of new compression to FGT’s pipeline system. FGT’s proposed 

construction activities at each of the compressor station sites are described below: 

• Station 11, located at the eastern end of Loop 1 in Mobile County, Alabama, would add 

44,000 hp of compression by the addition of two new EMD compressor units. 

• Station 12, located at the western end of Loop 3 in Santa Rosa County, Florida, would 

add 20,500 hp of compression by the addition of one new gas turbine. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-6 

• Station 13, located at the western end of Loop 4 in Washington County, Florida, would 

add 28,000 hp of compression by the addition of one new EMD compressor and 

upgrading two existing EMDs with up-rated compressors. 

• Station 14, located at the western end of Loop 5 in Gadsden County, Florida, would add 

20,500 hp of compression by the addition of one new gas turbine. 

• Station 15, located at the western end of Loop 6 in Taylor County, Florida, would add 

22,000 hp of compression by the addition of one new EMD compressor. 

• Station 24, located along FGT’s existing pipeline system in Gilchrist County, Florida, 

would add 20,500 hp of compression by the addition of one new gas turbine. 

• Station 26, located at the southern end of Loop 8 in Citrus County, Florida, would add 

20,500 hp of compression by the addition of one new gas turbine compressor. 

• Station 27, located at the northern end of Loop 10 in Hillsborough County, Florida, 

would add 22,000 hp of compression by the addition of one new EMD compressor. 

• Station 29 would be constructed at the approximate midpoint of Greenfield 3 in 

Highlands County, Florida (MP 288.6). FGT would install two 7,800 hp gas turbine 

compressor units for an addition of 15,600 hp. 

New compressor units would require installation of associated gas cooling equipment at most 

compressor stations. FGT also anticipates, based on preliminary hydraulic models, that compressor rewheeling would be required at most of the existing compressor stations included in the Project. 

FGT would acquire additional property directly adjacent to their existing Compressor Stations 11, 

12, 13, and 14 to construct the buildings that would house the new compressor units at these facilities. 

FGT would also acquire the property for the new Compressor Station 29. No additional property would 

be required for the remaining compressor station upgrades. 

2.1.2.2 M&R Station Facilities 

Three new M&R stations would be constructed, two existing M&R stations would be upgraded, 

and one new regulator station would be constructed as part of the Project. A detailed summary of these 

facilities are provided in section 2.2.2 of this EIS: 

• Transco - Citronelle M&R Station, located at MP 170.4 in Mobile County, Alabama, 

would be upgraded; 

• PE Suwannee M&R Station, a new station, would be constructed at the PE Suwannee 

River Power Plant site at MP 20.0 in Suwannee County, Florida; 

• Suwannee Lateral Regulator Station, a new regulator station, would be constructed at 

the southern end of Greenfield 1 and collocated with FGT’s existing side valves at MP 

0.0 in Lafayette County, Florida; 

• FPL Manatee M&R Station, a new station, would be constructed at the FPL Manatee 

Power Plant site and adjacent to Gulfstream Natural Gas Pipeline Company’s 

(Gulfstream) existing station at MP 16.1 in Manatee County, Florida; 

• FPL Martin M&R Station, a new station, would be constructed at the FPL Martin 

Power Plant site at MP 331.4 in Martin County, Florida; and 

• Martin North M&R Station, an existing station, would be upgraded at the eastern end 

of the pipeline acquisition segment for the Project (MP 801.7 of FGT’s East Leg), in 

Martin County, Florida.

2.1.2.3 Other Appurtenant and Auxiliary Facilities 

FGT would construct and modify various appurtenant and auxiliary pipeline facilities at 114 

locations as part of its Project. In order to facilitate inspection and cleaning of the new pipeline segments, 

26 “pig” launcher and/or pig receiver facilities (i.e., “launchers and receivers”, or “pigging facilities”) 

would be installed, typically within or adjacent to other existing aboveground facilities (e.g., compressor 

stations, MLVs, power plants) at the beginning and/or end of each pipeline segment. FGT would also 

remove five existing receivers. In addition, FGT would install 40 MLVs at regular intervals to allow for 

shut-down or isolation of discrete pipeline segments for maintenance or repairs, and would install various 

other valves, vents, and piping associated with the appurtenant and auxiliary facilities. These appurtenant 

and auxiliary facilities would be located within the existing or proposed new pipeline rights-of-way, or 

compressor stations and M&R sites, or with other existing FGT facilities. A list of the appurtenant and 

auxiliary aboveground facilities for the Project is provided in table 2.1.2-1 in appendix C, including the 

approximate MP location, land requirements, and a summary how these facilities would be located 

relative to existing or proposed facilities. 

Apalachicola National Forest

FGT would construct one MLV in the ANF at about MP 419.0A on the east side of Aenon 

Church Road. Extra workspace would be required for the MLV construction that includes a 100-footwide by 250-foot-long area (0.57 acres) on the south side of the mainline easement. 

2.1.3 Extra Workspaces 

FGT would use extra workspaces, usually directly adjacent to the typical pipeline construction 

right-of-way, where specialized construction techniques would be required in order to provide additional 

space for safe operation of equipment and temporary storage of equipment and materials. This would 

include road and railroad crossings, wetland and waterbody crossings, steep side slopes, full-width topsoil 

segregation areas, areas where rock is encountered, staging areas at the beginning and end of construction 

spreads, truck turnarounds, hydrostatic test water withdrawal manifold or pump locations, pipeline tie-ins, 

staging and fabrication of drag sections or float/push sections, horizontal directional drill (HDD) entry 

and exit points, and at foreign and FGT pipeline crossings. FGT proposes to use 2,631 extra workspaces 

for the Project. All together, the extra workspaces would impact about 800 acres.16 

2.1.3.1 Contractor and Pipe Yards 

FGT proposes to use 15 contractor and pipe yards for the Project. These yards would be used by 

the contractor and/or FGT to stage personnel, equipment, new pipe, and other materials necessary for 

construction of the facilities, and could include contractor trailers, construction equipment, fuel/lubricant, 

storage, and vehicle parking. The locations of the proposed contractor and pipe yards are provided by 

county in table 2.1.3-2 and are depicted on the facility location maps in appendix B of this EIS. 

2.1.3.2 Access Roads 

FGT proposes to use existing public and private roads, and the pipeline or other utility rights-ofway for temporary access to work areas during construction. A total of 687 access roads would be used, 

totaling about 318.4 miles; 660 existing roads, 16 newly-established roads, and 11 roads that would be 

extended for project use. Additional discussion of land use impacts associated with access roads is 

 

16 The MP location, dimensions, acreage, and purpose of each extra workspace proposed for the Project were tabulated by FGT 

and provided as part of its supplemental filing to the FERC on February 13, 2009.

2.2 LAND REQUIREMENTS 

FGT’s Project would disturb approximately 7,387.2 acres for construction, including extra 

workspaces, yards, access roads, and aboveground facilities. Approximately 2,889.5 acres (2,830.5 acres 

for pipeline facilities and 59.0 acres for the aboveground facilities) would be retained in permanent 

easements for operation of the facilities. The remaining 4,497.7 acres of land disturbed during 

construction would be allowed to return to pre-construction conditions and uses. 

Table 2.2-1 summarizes the temporary and permanent land requirements for the Project. A 

detailed description of the construction and operational rights-of-way requirements are provided in 

sections 2.2.1 through 2.2.3. 

2.2.1 Pipeline Rights-of-Way 

In upland areas, FGT would typically use a 100-foot-wide construction right-of-way to install the 

30- and 36-inch-diameter pipeline segments (i.e., Loops 2 through 10 and Greenfield 3), and a 75-footwide construction right-of-way to install the 20- and 24-inch-diameter pipeline segments (i.e., Loop 11 

and Greenfields 1 and 2). For the 42-inch-diameter pipeline (i.e., Loop 1), FGT would typically use a 

120-foot-wide construction right-of-way in uplands. Within saturated and unsaturated wetlands, the 

typical construction right-of-way would be 75-foot-wide for pipeline diameters ranging up to 36 inches. 

For the 42-inch-diameter pipeline segment, the typical construction right-of-way would be 75-foot-wide 

in saturated wetlands and 100-foot-wide in unsaturated wetlands. 

Following Project construction, easements along the new pipeline and at aboveground facilities 

would be retained as new permanent right-of-way or facility sites. FGT would typically obtain an 

additional 35-foot-wide (or less) permanent right-of-way where looping is adjacent to its existing pipeline 

and a 50-foot-wide permanent right-of-way centered on the pipeline for its operation. 

FGT would construct its looping segments adjacent to existing FGT pipeline easements and 

construct greenfield segments parallel to other existing linear facilities (e.g., roads, pipelines, and electric 

transmission corridors), where feasible. Approximately 99 percent, or 480 of the 483 miles, of new 

pipeline (looping and construction segments) would be located adjacent to other exiting linear facilities as 

summarized in table 2.2.1-1 in appendix D. Both the construction and permanent rights-of-way would 

overlap existing FGT and other rights-of-way, to the extent practicable. The typical construction and 

permanent rights-of-way configurations are depicted in figure 2.2.1-1 and typical dimensions are 

summarized in table 2.2.1-2. Variations from typical configurations that have been incorporated by FGT, 

and/or evaluated in this EIS to avoid or minimize impacts on landowners or sensitive areas identified 

during scoping are addressed in section 3.5 of this EIS. 

Apalachicola National Forest

FGT’s Project would require 163.2 acres for construction, including extra workspaces, access 

roads, and aboveground facilities within the ANF. About 62.9 acres (for the pipeline and a MLV) would 

be retained via a Special Use Permit for operation of the facilities. The remaining 100.3 acres of ANF 

land disturbed during construction would be restored to pre-construction conditions and uses. 

In wetland areas, FGT would use a 75-foot-wide construction right-of-way to install the 36-inchdiameter pipeline. FGT would construct this pipeline adjacent to an existing FGT pipeline except where 

requested otherwise by the USFS. The USFS requested a deviation from the existing pipeline from 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-10 

approximately MPs 423.75A to 424.4A. In that area, FGT would diverge up to 500 feet from the nearest 

existing FGT mainline for about 3,300 feet (6.0 percent of the route in the ANF) to avoid a large wetland.

c For Compressor Stations 11, 12, 13, and 14, FGT would purchase and disturb land directly adjacent to existing 

fencelines. Compressor Stations 15, 24, 26, and 27 would be constructed within the existing fencelines of the 

stations. Compressor Station 29 would be new. 

d Affected land would be within proposed new pipeline right-of-way, compressor station sites, M&R sites, or other 

existing facility sites as noted in table 2.1.2-1 in appendix C.

In addition, based on agreement with the USFS, FGT would use special construction techniques 

to reduce the pipeline offset from the adjoining pipeline in wetlands to reduce the construction width and 

the extent of permanent and temporary wetland impacts. In particular, FGT would place the pipeline 

about 15 feet from the nearest adjacent FGT pipeline rather than the normal 25-foot separation. The 

trench depth would also be kept to the minimum necessary and spoil from the trench would be placed 

over the existing, adjacent FGT pipeline. 

Following construction of the Project, areas along the new pipeline facilities would be operated 

under a new Special Use Permit area that would include all the FGT pipelines and facilities in the ANF. 

FGT would obtain an additional strip of land within the ANF for operation of the new pipeline. This strip 

would typically be an additional 25 feet of land where the pipeline is offset 25 feet from an existing 

pipeline. Where the pipeline diverges away from the existing pipelines (i.e., MPs 423.75A to 424.4A), it 

would be 50 feet wide centered on the new pipeline. In wetlands, it would be an additional 15 feet where 

the pipeline offset would be reduced to 15 feet. These pipeline offsets and right-of-way dimensions 

described above have been identified in documentation provided by FGT as part of its application. 

However, these pipeline offsets and right-of-way dimensions were not clearly identified on the detailed 

pipeline alignment sheets submitted by FGT in support of its application. Therefore, we recommend 

that:

• Prior to construction, FGT should provide an updated set of pipeline alignment 

sheets in consultation with the USFS between MP 417.1A and 428.6A that clearly 

show the proposed new pipeline offset from the nearest existing pipeline, and show 

the width of new land that would be required for operation of the proposed new 

pipeline relative to the existing land utilized by FGT, in the ANF.

2.2.2 Aboveground Facilities 

In total, aboveground facilities would disturb about 119.7 acres of land for construction and 59.7 

acres for operations, as listed in table 2.2-1. Of the eight existing compressor station upgrades, three 

would occur within the previously disturbed facility footprint (Compressor Stations 24, 26, and 27), one 

would occur on the station property but outside the previously disturbed footprint (Compressor Station 

15), and four would require new land adjacent to the existing facility (Compressor Stations 11, 12, 13, 

and 14). Approximately 16 additional acres would be acquired at Compressor Station 11, approximately 

15 acres at Compressor Station 12, approximately 10 acres at Compressor Station 13, and approximately 

10 acres at Compressor Station 14 (as shown in table 2.2-1). FGT would also acquire about 82 acres of 

land to construct new Compressor Station 29. 

Land requirements for FGT’s new M&R/regulator stations include: 

• Transco - Citronelle M&R Station - Approximately one acre would be disturbed during 

construction and required for operation. 

• PE Suwannee M&R Station - Approximately 3.2 acres would be disturbed during 

construction and 0.7 acre would be required for operation. 

• Suwannee Lateral Regulator Station - Approximately 0.03 acre would be disturbed 

during construction and 0.01 acre would be required for operation. 

• FPL Manatee M&R Station - Approximately 2.06 acres would be disturbed during 

construction and 0.46 acre would be required for operation. 

• FPL Martin M&R Station - Approximately 2.06 acres would be disturbed during 

construction and 0.46 acre would be required for operation. 

• Martin North M&R Station - Approximately 0.33 acre would be disturbed during 

construction and required for operation. 

With the exception of the new compressor station, compressor station upgrades outside existing 

station property, and the new M&R station sites, all other aboveground facilities and modifications would 

be located within existing facility sites or part of the proposed pipeline right-of-way. The typical 

dimensions and land requirements for individual launcher and receiver facilities, MLVs, remote vents, 

and side tap assembly crossovers are summarized in table 2.2.2-1. The specific land requirements for 

each appurtenant and auxiliary aboveground facility or modification are listed in table 2.1.2-1 in 

appendix C along with a description of each facility.

2.2.3 Extra Workspaces, Yards, Access Roads 

FGT would require a total of about 800 acres of extra workspaces for the Project. Following 

construction, the extra workspaces would not be required for operation of the facilities, and would be 

restored to previous conditions and allowed to revert to the original land uses. 

FGT would use about 646 acres of land for 17 contractor and pipe yards. These yards are listed 

in table 2.1.3-2 with a description of the approximate yard acreage and existing land use that would be 

affected at each location. Upon completion of construction, yards would be restored to the extent 

practicable and allowed to revert to previous land uses. 

FGT identified 687 roads that would require improvements, principally grading, to make them 

suitable for use during construction. Up to about 1,143.8 acres would be temporarily affected by 

improvement, maintenance, and/or construction of the 318.4 miles of identified access roads, assuming 

each road would not be wider than 30 feet. Two new permanent access roads would be installed to access 

the PE Suwannee M&R site and Compressor Station 29, and one existing road would be improved to 

provide permanent access to the FP&L Martin M&R Station. No new permanent access roads would be 

constructed for the pipeline facilities. About 2.2 miles of new temporary access roads would be 

constructed to access the aboveground facilities, which would affect about 8.1 acres. 

Apalachicola National Forest

FGT would require 11.4 acres for 28 extra workspaces within the ANF. Following construction, 

these 28 extra workspaces would not be required for operation of the facilities and would be restored to 

previous conditions and allowed to revert to the original land uses. 

FGT would not use any land in the ANF for contractor or pipe yards. 

FGT identified eight existing access roads that would require improvements, principally grading, 

to make them suitable for use during construction in the ANF. Assuming each road would be 30 feet 

wide, a total of 26.2 acres along 7.2 miles of roads would be temporarily affected by improvement and 

maintenance. 

2.3 CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES 

FGT’s facilities would be designed, constructed, tested, operated, and maintained in accordance 

with applicable requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations in Title 49 

CFR 192, Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards; and 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-16 

other applicable federal and state regulations including the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational 

Safety and Health Administration requirements. These regulations are intended to ensure adequate 

protection for the public and to prevent natural gas pipeline accidents and failures. Among other design 

standards, Part 192 specifies pipeline material selection; minimum design requirements; protection from 

internal, external, and atmospheric corrosion; and qualification procedures for welding and operations 

personnel. 

To minimize construction impacts, FGT would implement its Upland Erosion Control, 

Revegetation, and Maintenance Plan (Plan) and Wetland and Waterbody Construction and Mitigation 

Procedures (Procedures), which are provided in appendix E as appendices E-1 and E-2, respectively. The 

FGT Plan and Procedures are identical to our Plan and Procedures18, except that FGT has requested some 

clarifications and modifications from waterbody and wetland setback distances for extra workspaces at 

selected locations, and incorporated other minor modifications. Our review and analysis of these 

clarifications and modifications are provided in sections 4.3 and 4.4 of this EIS. 

FGT has also developed other Project-specific plans to avoid or minimize environmental impacts 

during construction. FGT’s Project-specific plans are listed below, followed by the location in this EIS 

where the plans are discussed or evaluated: 

• Spill Prevention and Response (SPAR) Plan (see section 4.2.3 and appendix E-3;) 

• Preliminary Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (see section 4.6.2 and appendix E-4); 

• Residential Construction Plans (see section 2.3.2 and 4.8.3 and appendix E-5); 

• Horizontal Directional Drilling Contingency Plan (see section 4.3.2 and appendix E-6); 

• Gopher Tortoise Relocation Plan (see section 4.7.1.3 and appendix E-7); 

• Trenching and Wildlife Guidelines (see appendix E-8); 

• Unanticipated Discoveries Plan (see section 4.10.2); 

• Plan for Recognizing and Reporting Paleontological Resources (see section 4.1.4); 

• Plan for Unanticipated Discoveries of Contaminated Soils or Groundwater (see section 

4.2.3 and appendix E-9); 

• Fugitive Dust Control/Mitigation Plan (see section 4.11.1 and appendix E-10); and 

• Noxious Weed Management Plan (see section 4.5.5 and appendix E-11). 

2.3.1 General Pipeline Construction Procedures 

Standard pipeline construction proceeds in the manner of an outdoor assembly line composed of 

specific activities that make up the linear construction sequence. These operations collectively include: 

survey and staking of the right-of-way, clearing and grading, trenching, pipe stringing, bending, welding, 

lowering the pipeline into the trench, backfilling the trench, hydrostatic testing, and right-of-way cleanup 

and restoration. Each of these steps is discussed in the following subsections. In addition, section 2.3.2 

includes information regarding special construction techniques FGT would use when crossing residential 

areas, agricultural areas, citrus groves, electric transmission corridors, roadways, waterbodies, wetlands, 

and environmentally sensitive areas identified during scoping. FGT has also identified special measures 

it would implement if blasting is required. In sections 4 and 5 of this EIS, we evaluate these procedures 

and provide recommendations for additional mitigation to avoid or minimize environmental impacts, if 

appropriate, on specific resources or areas. 

 

18 The FERC staff’s Plan and Procedures are a set of construction and mitigation measures that were developed in 

collaboration with other federal and state agencies and the natural gas pipeline industry to minimize the potential environmental 

impacts of the construction of pipeline projects. Proper implementation of the Plan and Procedures would adequately minimize 

construction-related impacts on soils, waterbodies, and wetlands.

2-17 

In the typical pipeline construction scenario, construction would proceed along the pipeline rightof-way in one continuous operation. As the spread moves along, construction at any single point along 

the pipeline, from initial surveying and clearing to backfilling and finish grading, typically lasts about 6 to 

10 weeks. The entire process would be coordinated in such a manner as to generally limit each contractor 

to activities over about 30 miles under normal conditions, and to minimize the total time an individual 

tract of land is disturbed, exposed to erosion, or temporarily precluded from its normal use. 

Survey and Staking 

The first step of construction would involve marking the limits of the approved work area (i.e., 

the construction right-of-way boundaries and extra workspaces) as well as the pipeline centerline, access 

roads, existing utility lines, and special areas, as applicable. Sensitive areas such as wetland boundaries, 

cultural resource sites, and sensitive species habitat to be avoided would be marked with appropriate 

flagging based on environmental and archeological surveys. FGT would notify landowners in advance of 

construction activities that could affect their property, business, or operations. 

Clearing and Grading 

The construction work area would be cleared and graded (where necessary) to provide a relatively 

level surface for trench excavating equipment and a sufficiently wide workspace for the passage of heavy 

construction equipment, and provide for the safety of the pipeline workers. In grassy areas where grading 

is not required FGT would mow vegetation to avoid damage to root systems and clear the vegetation to 

the edge of the work area. FGT would install temporary erosion controls after initial disturbance of the 

soils, where necessary, to minimize erosion. These controls would be maintained throughout 

construction. All temporary erosion and sediment controls would be installed in accordance with FGT’s 

Plan. FGT would obtain water used for dust suppression, if necessary, from a variety of sources. The 

source selection would be based on volume needed, where dust suppression is needed, available sources 

of water, and its relative cost. Sources expected to be utilized are commercial and public water systems, 

streams and rivers with suitable flows, lakes, ponds, and canals. 

Trenching 

FGT would excavate trenches to a depth sufficient to provide the minimum cover required by 

DOT specifications, which ranges from 30 to 36 inches in normal soil. For 36-inch-diameter pipe, the 

trench normally would be at least six feet deep, about 12.5 feet wide in stable soils, and up to 25 feet wide 

at the top in saturated or otherwise unstable soils. Additional trench width may be required to maintain 

the stability of trench walls for the safety of pipeline workers and equipment. In agricultural areas, FGT 

may increase the depth of cover so as not to interfere with land use activities. Spoil would typically be 

stored next to the trench on the opposite side of the working area and over existing easements where 

possible. Based on past experience in the Project area, FGT does not anticipate that significant blasting 

would be required during construction of the Project. However, if dense, hard bedrock is encountered 

within the trench line or during construction of any aboveground facilities, blasting may be required. If 

FGT identifies the need for blasting, FGT would develop a Blasting Plan for our approval before any 

blasting commences and conduct these activities in accordance with all pertinent regulations. 

Pipe Stringing, Bending, and Welding 

FGT would clear and grade the pipeline right-of-way then string the pipe along the right-of-way. 

Steel pipe would be procured in 40- or 80-foot-long lengths, corrosion protected with fusion-bonded 

epoxy coating applied at the factory, and shipped to strategically located materials storage areas or pipe 

yards along the Project route. The pipe would be transported to the right-of-way by stringing trucks, 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-18 

which would typically be semi-tractor trailers carrying segments of pipe over public road networks and 

authorized private access roads to the right-of-way. The pipe would then be placed, or “strung,” in a 

continuous line on the working side of the trench. 

FGT would bend individual sections of pipe in the field where necessary to fit the contours of the 

trench. Then FGT would align, weld the sections together in long strings, and place them on temporary 

supports along the edge of the trench. Pipe would be bent at the mill when necessary for sharp bends. All 

welds would be x-rayed to ensure structural integrity and compliance with the applicable DOT 

regulations. Those welds that do not meet established specifications would be repaired or removed. Once 

the welds are approved, the welded joints would be externally coated with epoxy and the entire pipeline 

would be visually and electronically inspected for any faults, scratches, or other damage, and inspected 

for coating defects. FGT would repair any damage before lowering the pipe into the trench. 

Lowering-in, Padding, and Backfilling 

FGT would normally limit the trench dewatering to immediately prior to lowering-in to reduce 

the volume of dewatering. Exceptions to this would include where the push method would be used, when 

the bottom of the trench needs to be inspected to determine if all rock has been removed, and when tie-ins 

would be prepared and later when they are being completed. FGT would dewater the trench as necessary 

in accordance with applicable permits and cleaned of debris. Prior to discharge, dewatering effluent 

would be passed through sediment filters (hay bale structures and/or filter bags), if necessary, to ensure 

compliance with applicable water quality requirements. The pipeline would be lowered into the trench, 

and trench breakers would be installed before backfilling at specified intervals to prevent water movement 

along the pipeline. The trench would then be backfilled using the excavated sub-soil. If the excavated 

material could damage the pipe and/or coating, the pipeline would be protected with a rock shield and/or 

covered with select fill obtained from commercial borrow areas (or by separating suitable material from 

nearby trench spoil). FGT would not use topsoil for pipeline padding. Backfilling would occur to grade 

or higher to accommodate any future soil settlement. 

Hydrostatic Testing 

FGT would hydrostatically test the pipeline prior to placing it in-service to ensure structural 

integrity of the pipe. This testing would be conducted according to DOT specifications and would use 

water from approved surface water sources near each pipeline loop. If necessary, FGT would filter all 

water prior to use. A summary of the anticipated surface water sources and approximate volumes for 

each pipeline segment is provided in table 2.3.1-1. 

Prior to construction of the Project, FGT would develop a hydrostatic testing plan that identifies 

potential water source and discharge locations for the pipeline facility. Upon completion of each test, the 

water would be discharged in accordance with applicable permits. Hydrostatic test water would be 

discharged overland within or along the edges of the construction rights-of-way using energy dissipation 

devices to minimize erosion and sedimentation. FGT would sample and test the water prior to discharge 

to determine suitability for discharge. If treatment of the discharge water would be required, FGT would 

develop procedures prior to discharge. Hydrostatic test water would contact only new pipe, and FGT 

does not anticipate the addition of chemicals to the test water. Once a segment of pipe has been 

successfully tested and dried, the pipe would be connected to the remainder of the pipeline. 

Cleanup 

FGT would final grade and restore all work areas to pre-construction contours within 20 days of 

backfilling the trench. Restoration would begin upon completion of final grading. To minimize future 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-19 

settling, the trench would be compacted with tracked construction equipment. Surplus construction 

material and debris would be removed and disposed of at state approved disposal sites. Permanent 

erosion controls would be installed within the right-of-way during the restoration phase. After 

completion of construction and hydrostatic testing, the new pipeline would be cleaned and dried using 

pipeline pigs that are propelled through the pipeline with compressed air. Once cleaned and purged of air, 

the pipeline would be packed with natural gas. FGT would install pipeline markers and/or warning signs 

along the pipeline centerline at specified intervals to identify the location of the pipe.

FGT would restore access roads to pre-construction conditions unless otherwise specified by the 

property owner and approved by applicable regulatory agencies. FGT would restore private and public 

property, such as fences, gates, driveways, and roads, that were disturbed by construction to original or 

better condition consistent with individual landowner agreements.

2.3.2 Special Construction Techniques 

Residential Areas 

FGT would conduct construction near residential areas to ensure that all activities minimize any 

adverse impacts on residences and that cleanup is quick and thorough. The following section summarizes 

standard practices that would be employed. Site-specific construction plans for all residences located 

within 25 feet of the construction right-of-way have been filed and reviewed by us, as described in section 

4.8.3 and appendix E-5 of this EIS. 

In general, for residential construction FGT would: 

• Maintain access to homes except for the brief periods essential for laying the new 

pipeline. In the vicinity of streets and homes, FGT may erect temporary safety fences to 

limit access to the construction area. This fence would extend at least 100 feet on either 

side of the home along the right-of-way; 

• employ techniques such as stovepipe and drag-section construction to minimize the 

impacts of construction in residential areas on a site-specific basis; 

• notify homeowners in advance of any scheduled disruption of household utilities and the 

duration of the interruption would be kept as brief as possible; 

• invite representatives of the local utility companies to be on-site during construction 

when necessary; 

• strive to accommodate any special concerns regarding private landscaping and other 

potential conflicts with the construction and operation of the pipeline; 

• minimize the time the trench is left open; 

• control dust during construction by applying water to the rights-of-way as necessary; 

• clean up and restore residential areas after backfilling to “as before or better” condition, 

and remove all construction debris from the area; and 

• segregate topsoil where appropriate or as negotiated with the landowner. 

Agricultural Areas 

Prior to construction, FGT would contact landowners to locate existing or future drainage 

structures and irrigation facilities. FGT would maintain water flow in crop irrigation systems, unless 

shutoff is coordinated with the affected parties. The specific measures listed below would be applied 

during different phases of construction in agricultural areas. The measures FGT would implement 

include: 

• Grading: 

• Topsoil would be stripped as appropriate (full-width or ditch-plus-spoil side) and 

then segregated from subsequent subsoil piles; 

• natural flow patterns of fields would be maintained by providing breaks in topsoil 

and subsoil stockpiles; and 

• all actively cultivated agricultural lands (including permanent or rotated 

cropland, hayfields, or improved pastures) topsoil stripping over the ditch area 

would be used. Subsoil may be stored either in subsoil storage areas or the 

ground surface if a definable, biodegradable vegetative layer exists. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-21 

• Drain Tiles: 

• Flow would be maintained in drainage systems during construction to prevent 

ponding in adjacent non-disturbed areas; 

• drainage systems would be probed to determine if damage has occurred beyond 

that in the ditch line. All tiles damaged during construction would be noted in a 

field notebook by station number and orientation for future reference. Colored 

flags would be placed and maintained during construction at damaged tile 

locations; 

• all tiles damaged during construction would be repaired to their original 

condition or better; and 

• records of drainage system repairs would be maintained by FGT and would be 

available for affected landowners future reference. 

• Restoration and Revegetation: 

• Restoration and revegetation practices would follow those outlined in FGT’s Plan 

(appendix E-1); 

• any rutting or compaction would be repaired prior to revegetation of disturbed 

areas as described in FGT’s Plan; and 

• all stones larger and/or in higher densities than those in adjacent undisturbed 

areas would be collected and properly disposed of per the requirements described 

in FGT’s Plan. 

No special construction techniques would be used within citrus groves, orchards, or pine 

plantations. FGT would compensate landowners for loss of production on a temporary and permanent 

basis. The temporary right-of-way would revert to its previous use. 

As a result of the 2004 and 2005 Hurricane Season, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) 

and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) declared as of January 1, 

2006 citrus canker cannot be eradicated and they began a new program to keep citrus canker disease at 

low levels to sustain citrus production, protect uninfected growers, and to deal with future diseases. 

Because of this, FDACS, under its Division of Plant Industries, created the Citrus Health Response 

Program (CHRP) to establish a management program for citrus canker and a new disease called 

Huanglonbing disease (citrus greening disease) and future citrus diseases. CHRP has developed a 

framework for all segments of the citrus industry; owners, growers, caretakers, harvesters and other 

groups such as FGT, to share in the responsibility of protecting Florida’s citrus industry. This framework 

is a CHRP Business Plan and corresponding compliance agreement. 

Each group writes its own Business Plan thus customizing its disease management program for its 

unique operation. FGT prepared a draft CHRP Business Plan that covers such items as preconstruction 

disease surveys to detect any disease already present, decontamination procedures, a management plan to 

deal with any diseased trees, and a post construction survey. This Business Plan would allow FGT to 

develop a disease management program for its unique situation of constructing and operating a gas 

pipeline through citrus groves. This Business Plan was approved by the FDACS on August 1, 2007 and 

would ensure that FGT’s construction and operation of the gas pipeline through citrus groves is done in 

such a manner as to use best management practices and to manage any diseases that may already by 

present and to limit any spread of such disease.

2-22 

Electric Transmission Corridors 

Construction within existing electric transmission corridors would necessitate special 

construction considerations. The following construction footprint and pipeline spacing guidelines would 

apply to locations where FGT proposes to construct within or adjacent to existing electric transmission 

corridors: 

• The routing of the pipeline would be determined in close coordination with the electric 

transmission company. Frequently FGT’s pipeline would be placed within and along one 

edge of the transmission corridor. Temporary and permanent rights-of-way would be 

outside of, partially within, or totally within the electric transmission corridor depending 

on other land uses in the vicinity. 

• If there is an existing pipeline within the electric transmission corridor, FGT would 

generally install the new pipeline as close as 10 feet from the existing pipeline to 

maximize the clearance to existing towers, poles, and guy wires. 

• Existing transmission towers, poles, and guy wires would present obstacles to alignment 

of the pipeline and the placement of construction work areas. Buffer zones would be 

necessary to protect these features from construction equipment and excavation. 

Construction traffic would be routed around these features necessitating workspace on all 

sides of the poles, towers, and/or guy wires. 

In all cases the construction footprint would be reduced to the maximum extent practicable within 

the bounds of providing safe construction conditions and providing protection to the existing 

infrastructure within the utility corridor. 

Road, Highway, and Railroad Crossings 

The crossing of unpaved and paved highways, roads, and railroads would be performed in 

conformance with applicable crossing approvals and permits. FGT would cross most major roads and 

railroads using the conventional bore method that requires excavation of deep pits on each side of the 

railroad/road as depicted in figure 2.3.2-1. When using the bore method, deep pits would be excavated on 

each side of the railroad/road. Additionally extra workspace to store the spoil from the pits would be 

needed. Sufficient pit depth and space to allow boring equipment to bore a hole under the feature at the 

minimum depth as prescribed by the permitting agency must be achieved; typically a minimum depth of 

five feet below the surface to allow the pipeline to withstand expected external loadings. Longer 

crossings may require welding of multiple pipe sections as the pipe is being pushed into the borehole. 

Depending on permit conditions, the pipe may or may not be cased at road crossings. We would expect 

little or no disruption of traffic from FGT crossing roadways using the bore method. 

 FGT would cross unpaved and smaller roads using the open-cut method where private 

landowners and governing authorities permit. Open cutting a road requires temporarily closings of the 

road to traffic. Safety and minimizing traffic disruptions are important in open-cut project 

implementation. FGT would provide adequate signage and flagging to alert vehicles to detours, thereby 

minimizing traffic disruptions. Detours may not be necessary if one lane of traffic could be kept open, 

except for the brief period when the trench must be cut and the pipeline installed. When construction 

would occur through areas with business access points, FGT would bore the access, build a temporary 

entrance, or complete the work during non-business hours. FGT would also install signs alerting the 

public of the construction in progress and install safety fence where needed to keep the public from 

entering areas that present a risk to non-workers.

In some locations, FGT would cross roadways and other sensitive areas using the HDD method, 

which is similar to the conventional bore in that there would be little or no disruption to traffic. The HDD 

method is a specialized method that could be used to minimize impacts when the conventional bore 

method is not feasible due to an extended crossing length or when other site limitations exist, such as 

sensitive waterbodies, wetlands, or congested conditions. The HDD method is described in detail as one 

of the waterbody crossing construction procedures, below. Table 2.3.2-1 lists the roads that would be 

crossed by the HDD method. A complete list of the locations and technical feasibility of where FGT 

would use the HDD method is provided in table 2.3.2-2 in appendix F.

Waterbody Crossings 

Waterbody crossings would be constructed by FGT in accordance with applicable permits and its 

Procedures (appendix E-2). FGT’s Procedures specify measures it would take from pre-construction 

planning through construction, restoration, monitoring, and maintenance, and are based on best 

management practices (BMPs) in the pipeline industry. This includes BMPs relating to temporary bridge 

crossings, setbacks for extra workspaces and equipment refueling, timing, construction methods, and 

restoration. Waterbody crossing methods would typically require extra workspaces on both sides of the 

crossing to stage construction, fabricate the pipeline, and store materials. Extra workspaces would be 

located in upland areas a minimum of 50 feet from the waterbody edge unless we and other jurisdictional 

agencies grant site-specific approval for a reduced setback. FGT has requested modifications from our 

Procedures for extra workspaces within 50 feet of several waterbodies, and these requests are evaluated in 

section 4.3 of this EIS. 

Depending on the size and sensitivity of a waterbody, FGT would complete waterbody crossings 

using one of the following four typical installation techniques: open-cut, dam and pump, flume, or HDD. 

A brief description of these techniques is provided below and the methods that would be used at specific 

waterbodies are discussed as part of section 4.3.2 and tabulated in appendix H-4 of this EIS. 

Open-Cut

The open-cut crossing technique would be a “wet” crossing method that would be completed 

while the waterbody continues to flow across the work area. The open-cut crossing method involves 

excavating a pipeline trench across the waterbody, installing a section of pipe, and then backfilling the 

trench with material excavated from the stream bed (figure 2.3.2-2). Excavation and backfilling of the 

trench would be accomplished using backhoes or other excavation equipment operating from one or both 

banks of the waterbody. Trench spoil would be stored at least 10 feet from the stream banks (topographic 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-25 

conditions permitting). Sediment barriers, such as silt fence and staked straw bales, would be installed to 

prevent spoil and sediment-laden water from entering the stream. 

For most non-sensitive perennial and intermittent streams, agricultural ditches, and ponds, FGT 

proposes to use the open-cut crossing method. 

Dam and Pump

The dam and pump crossing method is a “dry” crossing method that would involve constructing 

temporary dams upstream and downstream of the proposed crossing and using a high capacity pump to 

divert water around the construction area during trenching, pipe installation, and backfilling 

(figure 2.3.2-3). Dams would typically be constructed using plastic sheeting and sand or pea gravel bags. 

Energy dissipation devices, such as plywood boards, would be placed on the downstream side at the 

discharge point to prevent streambed scour. 

After installing the dams and commencing pumping, a portable pump (separate from that 

pumping the stream flow around the construction area) may be used to pump standing water from 

between the dams into a dewatering structure consisting of straw bales/silt fence or into a geotextile filter 

bag located away from the stream banks, thereby creating a “dry” construction area. 

Once the area between the dams is stable, backhoes on both banks would excavate a trench across 

the stream. Spoil excavated from the trench would be stored in a straw bale/silt fence containment area 

located a minimum of 10 feet from the edge of the stream banks. After completion of the trenching 

activities across the streambed, a prefabricated segment of pipe would be installed in the trench. 

Following installation of the pipe, the streambed portion of the trench would be backfilled with streambed 

spoil and the streambanks would be stabilized. 

FGT would use the dam and pump crossing method interchangeably with the flume crossing 

method (described below), subject to site-specific conditions at the time of construction, on perennial 

streams that have been identified as sensitive or which potentially have listed species present in the 

stream. 

Flume Crossing Method

The flume crossing method involves diverting the flow of the stream across the construction work 

area through one or more flume pipes placed in the stream. The first step in the flume crossing method 

involves placing a sufficient number of adequately sized flume pipes in the stream to accommodate the 

highest anticipated flow during construction. After placing the pipes in the stream, temporary dams 

would be constructed around the flume pipes upstream and downstream of the proposed trench to divert 

the stream flow through the flume pipes and across the work area, thereby isolating the stream flow from 

the construction work area (figure 2.3.2-4). 

Once flow has been isolated from the work area, backhoes on both banks of the stream would 

excavate a trench under the flume pipe(s) in the isolated streambed. Spoil excavated from the stream 

trench would be placed or stored a minimum of 10 feet from the edge of the waterbody for temporary 

storage. Leakage from the dam around the flume pipes, or subsurface flow from below the streambed, 

may cause water to accumulate in the trench. As water accumulates in the trench, it may be periodically 

pumped out and discharged into a dewatering structure located away from the stream banks. Once the 

trench is excavated, a prefabricated segment of pipe would be installed beneath the flume pipes. The 

trench would then be backfilled with native spoil from the streambed and the stream banks would be 

restored. Finally, the flume pipes and dam materials would be removed from the waterbody.

Horizontal Directional Drill

The HDD method is a dry crossing method that would be used by FGT when a waterbody’s size 

or environmental sensitivity make the use of other methods undesirable or impractical (figure 2.3.2-5). 

This method would require specialized equipment and personnel and has three general steps that include: 

1) drilling a pilot hole on an arc-shaped path that typically extends between 30 and 50 feet beneath the 

waterbody; 2) enlarging the pilot hole with a series of reamers to accommodate the pipeline; and 3) 

pulling a prefabricated section of pipe through the hole. 

Drilling the pilot hole is the first phase of the HDD method and establishes the ultimate position 

of the installed pipeline. The head of the pilot drill string contains a pivoting head that can be controlled 

by an operator as the drill progresses. Typically, the pilot hole would be directed downward at an angle 

until the proper depth is achieved, then turned and directed horizontally for the required distance, and 

finally angled upward back to the surface. Throughout the process of drilling and enlarging the hole, a 

mud slurry consisting of bentonite and water would be pressurized and pumped through the drill stem to 

lubricate the drill bit, maintain the hole, and remove drill cuttings. Bentonite is the commercial name for 

a mixture of non-toxic clays and rock particles consisting of about 85 percent montmorillonite clay, 10 

percent quartz and feldspars, and five percent accessory materials, such as calcite and gypsum. This 

slurry, referred to as drilling mud or drilling fluid, has the potential to be inadvertently released to the 

surface if fractures or fissures are encountered in the substrate during drilling. 

The potential for an inadvertent release of drilling mud (also referred to as a frac-out) is generally 

greatest during drilling of the pilot hole when the pressurized drilling mud is seeking the path of least 

resistance. The path of least resistance is typically back along the path of the drilled pilot hole. However, 

if the drill path becomes temporarily blocked or encounters other areas such as large fractures or fissures 

that lead to the ground surface (e.g. a wetland or waterbody) then an inadvertent release could occur. 

FGT would monitor the pipeline route and the circulation of drilling mud throughout drilling for 

indications of an inadvertent release and would immediately implement corrective actions if a release is 

observed or suspected to be occurring as outlined in its HDD Contingency Plan and Feasibility 

Assessment (HDD Contingency Plan) (see appendix E-6). 

Once the pilot hole exits in an acceptable location, the reaming operation is initiated. During the 

reaming phase, a reaming head would be attached to the drill pipe and pulled back through the pilot hole 

to enlarge it. Several reaming passes would be made with incrementally larger reaming heads to enlarge 

the hole to about 1.5 times the diameter of the pipeline. As the drill path becomes larger, the potential for 

an inadvertent release generally would decrease as the path of least resistance becomes increasingly well 

established along the drill path. Pressurized drilling fluid would continue to be jetted through the reaming 

head to float out drill cuttings and debris, to cool the drilling head, and to provide a cake wall to stabilize 

the hole. Once the drill hole is enlarged to the proper diameter, the pipe would be pulled back through the 

reamed hole. 

Each HDD crossing would require extra workspaces for drilling equipment, pipe assembly, 

supplies and materials, temporary mud pits and tanks, support vehicles, and access to the drilling sites and 

areas to turn equipment around. Access to the stream bank may also be necessary to withdraw water as 

needed for mixing the drilling mud or hydrostatic pressure testing of the pipe section. However, in many 

locations the existing right-of-way would be used to access the waterbody. Erosion control measures 

would be installed in accordance with FGT’s Plan and Procedures (appendices E-1 and E-2, respectively) 

and stormwater permits to prevent sediment-laden water from leaving the temporary work areas would be 

obtained. After the HDD is completed, drilling mud would be disposed of at state approved facilities.

TYPICAL HDD WATERBODY CROSSING METHOD

2-31 

Due to limitations in the bending radius of steel pipe and the specialized requirements for 

implementing this method, the HDD method is generally not feasible for smaller waterbodies. It could 

also be impractical in other locations under certain geotechnical conditions that affect drilling mud 

circulation or drill hole or pipeline integrity when the pipe is pulled back into the hole. Some examples of 

difficult geotechnical conditions include areas with fractured bedrock, subsurface boulders, or 

unconsolidated materials such as loose sands and gravel. FGT has conducted a feasibility assessment for 

most of its proposed HDD crossing locations and based on the feasibility analysis, and as discussed 

further in section 4.3.2, site-specific HDD construction plans have been developed by FGT where the 

HDD crossing method is considered feasible. 

Wetland Crossings 

FGT would cross all wetlands in accordance with federal and state permits and following the 

measures in its Procedures. Pipeline construction across wetlands would be similar to typical 

conventional upland cross-country construction procedures, with several modifications and limitations to 

reduce the potential for pipeline construction to affect wetland hydrology and soil structure. Wetland 

resources are discussed further in section 4.4 of this EIS. Standard wetland construction mitigation 

measures would require that equipment working in wetlands be limited to that essential for clearing the 

right-of-way, excavating the trench, fabricating and installing the pipeline, backfilling the trench, and 

restoring the right-of-way. In areas where there is no reasonable access to the right-of-way except 

through wetlands, non-essential equipment would be allowed to travel through wetlands only if the 

ground is firm enough or has been stabilized to avoid rutting. Otherwise, non-essential equipment would 

be allowed to travel through wetlands only once. If the wetland can not support equipment without 

rutting, equipment operating in the wetland would need to be stabilized with prefabricated equipment 

mats or terra mats. 

Clearing of vegetation in wetlands would be limited to trees and shrubs, which would be cut flush 

with the surface of the ground and removed from the wetland. To avoid excessive disruption of wetland 

soils and the native seed and rootstock within the wetland soils, stump removal, grading, topsoil 

segregation, and excavation would be limited to the area immediately over the trench line. A limited 

amount of stump removal and grading may be conducted in other areas if dictated by safety-related 

concerns. Topsoil segregation over the trench line would occur if the wetland soils were not saturated at 

the time of construction. 

During clearing, sediment barriers, such as silt fence and staked straw bales, would be installed 

and maintained adjacent to wetlands and within extra workspaces, as necessary, to minimize the potential 

for sediment runoff. Sediment barriers would be installed across the full width of the construction rightof-way at the base of slopes adjacent to wetland boundaries. Silt fence or straw bales installed across the 

working side of the right-of-way would be removed during the day when vehicle traffic is present and 

would be replaced each night. Alternatively, drivable berms may be installed and maintained across the 

right-of-way in lieu of silt fence or straw bales. Sediment barriers would also be installed within wetlands 

along the edge of the right-of-way, where necessary, to minimize the potential for sediment to run off the 

construction right-of-way and into wetlands outside the work area. If trench dewatering is necessary in 

wetlands, silt-laden trench water would be discharged in accordance with our Procedures, in a manner 

that would not cause erosion and would not result in heavily silt-laden water flowing into any waterbody. 

The water would be discharged into an energy dissipation/sediment filtration device, such as a geotextile 

filter bag or straw bale structure, to minimize the potential for erosion and sedimentation. The dewatering 

structures would be sized to handle the volume of water in the trench. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-32 

The method of pipeline construction used in wetlands would depend largely on the stability of the 

soils at the time of construction. Where wetland soils are saturated and/or inundated at the time of 

construction, a “push-pull” technique may be used for trenching and installation. The push-pull technique 

would involve stringing and welding the pipeline outside of the wetland and excavating the trench 

through the wetland using a backhoe supported by equipment mats. The water that seeps into the trench 

would be used to float the pipeline into place using attached floatation devices, and by pushing or pulling 

the pipe with equipment and winches. After the pipeline is floated into place, the floats would be 

removed and the pipeline would sink into place. In order to ensure that pipe would not float to the ground 

surface within wetlands, FGT will install negative buoyancy (i.e., concrete weights, anchors, or concrete 

coating). This process would keep the pipeline from floating to the ground surface within wetlands or 

areas that may be affected by Everglades Restoration Projects. FGT would not concrete-coat the pipeline 

within 100 feet of a waterbody or wetland to minimize the likelihood of contamination. After the pipeline 

sinks into place, backhoes working on equipment mats would backfill the trench and complete cleanup. 

Because little or no grading would occur in wetlands, restoration of contours would be 

accomplished during backfilling. Prior to backfilling, trench breakers (polyurethane foam or bags of 

sand) would be installed where necessary to prevent the subsurface drainage of water from wetlands. 

Where topsoil has been segregated from subsoil, the subsoil would be backfilled first followed by the 

topsoil. Topsoil would be replaced to the original ground level leaving no crown over the trench line. In 

some areas where wetlands overlie rocky soils, the pipe would be padded with rock-free soil or sand 

before backfilling with native bedrock and soil. Equipment mats and/or terra mats would be removed 

from wetlands following backfilling. Following completion of backfilling and major grading work, any 

drivable berms would be removed and the ground surface returned to its original contours. If a sediment 

control device would still be needed at a location where a drivable berm was removed, a temporary 

sediment control device such as silt fencing would be installed. 

Where wetlands are located at the base of slopes, permanent slope breakers would be constructed 

across the right-of-way in upland areas adjacent to the wetland boundary. Temporary sediment barriers 

would be installed where necessary until revegetation of adjacent upland areas is successful. Once 

revegetation is successful, sediment barriers would be removed from the right-of-way and disposed of 

properly. 

Extra workspace may be required on both sides of wetlands to stage construction, fabricate the 

pipeline, and store materials. Extra workspace for wetland crossings would be located in upland areas a 

minimum of 50 feet from the wetland edge unless site-specific approval for a reduced setback is granted 

by the FERC and other jurisdictional agencies. 

Environmentally Sensitive Areas 

A number of other environmentally sensitive areas would be crossed by the Project that were 

identified during our Pre-filing Process. These areas may require specialized construction methods to 

avoid, minimize, or mitigate potential impacts. In general, FGT would overlap significant amounts of its 

construction area with existing pipeline rights-of-way as well as other utility and linear infrastructure 

rights-of-way (roads, pipelines and electric transmission lines) to minimize impacts on these areas. We 

evaluated specific route variations or construction alternatives to avoid or minimize impacts on 

environmentally sensitive areas which are discussed in section 3.4 of this EIS. The environmentally 

sensitive areas that would not or may not be avoided include: 

• unique or sensitive habitats such as scrub habitat (section 4.5.4), seepage wetlands 

(section 4.4.1), pitcher plant bogs (section 4.5.4), sandhill habitats (section 4.5.4), and 

wiregrass communities (section 4.5.4.4); 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-33 

• sinkhole areas (section 4.1.3); 

• recreation or public interest areas (section 4.8.5); 

• potentially contaminated soils and groundwater (section 4.2.4); and 

• cultural resources (section 4.10.1). 

Apalachicola National Forest

Based on guidance from the USFS, FGT would minimize wetland impacts in the ANF by 

adjusting the pipeline route through the forest to avoid sensitive wetlands areas and by reducing the 

pipeline offset from the adjoining FGT pipeline from 25 feet to 15 feet. Construction limits in all 

wetlands would be limited to 75 feet wide. Elsewhere, in designated sensitive upland areas such as 

wiregrass prairies, FGT would implement a Conservation and Restoration Plan developed specifically 

with input from the USFS and the FDOF. 

Blasting 

Based on past experience in the Project area, FGT does not anticipate that significant blasting 

would be required during construction of the Project. However, if FGT encounters dense, hard bedrock 

within the trench line, or during construction of any aboveground facilities, blasting may be required. If 

FGT determines blasting would be required during construction, it would prepare a blasting plan and 

would file the plan with the FERC for review and approval by the Director of the Office of Energy 

Projects (OEP) in advance. The blasting plan would include: 

• the conditions under which blasting would occur; 

• the rules under which it would be performed; 

• the types of explosives likely to be used; 

• a summary of the safety rules that would be adhered to; 

• the responsibilities of the blasting contractor; 

• the acquisition of appropriate permits; and 

• a detailed blasting procedure. 

2.3.3 Aboveground Facility Construction Procedures 

Construction activities and storage of construction materials and equipment would be confined 

within the compressor station and M&R station site boundaries and/or approved extra workspaces. 

Debris and wastes generated from the construction would be disposed off-site at state authorized disposal 

facilities. All surface areas disturbed would be restored and stabilization measures installed in a timely 

manner. 

Excavation would be performed as necessary to accommodate the new reinforced concrete 

foundations for the new compressors, pigging facilities, metering equipment, and buildings. Subsurface 

piles may be required to support the foundations, depending upon the bearing capacity of the existing 

soils and the equipment loads. Forms would be set, rebar would be installed, and the concrete would be 

poured and cured in accordance with applicable industry standards. Concrete pours would be randomly 

sampled to verify compliance with minimum strength requirements. Backfill would be compacted in 

place, and excess soil would be used elsewhere or distributed around the site to improve grade. 

Turbines, electric motors, compressors, metering equipment, and other facilities would be 

shipped to the site by truck. The equipment would be off-loaded using cranes, front-end loaders, or both. 

The equipment would then be positioned on the foundations, leveled, grouted where necessary, and 

secured with anchor bolts. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-34 

All non-threaded piping associated with the aboveground facilities would be welded, except 

where connected to flanged components. All welders and welding procedures would be qualified in 

accordance with American Petroleum Institute standards. All welds in gas piping systems would be 

examined using x-ray in accordance with applicable codes. 

All components in high-pressure natural gas service would be pressure tested, and all controls and 

safety equipment and systems, emergency shutdown equipment, relief valves, and gas measurement and 

control equipment would be commissioned prior to being placed in service. 

2.4 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE 

FGT has preliminarily identified six construction spreads19 for the Project. FGT’s projected 

construction schedule (and projected workforce) for the Project segments are presented in table 2.4-1. 

The order in which each facility would be constructed may vary, depending upon the capabilities of each 

contractor, available workforce, and optimized logistics. FGT anticipates commencement of construction 

in January 2010 and would be substantially complete approximately 15 months thereafter. Based on 

shippers’ requirements and receipt of necessary approvals, FGT expects that the Project would be placed 

in-service by April 2011. However, the Project would be completed in two phases to satisfy FPL timing 

for increased demand at electric generation facilities. FPL has requested that Greenfield 2 be completed 

and placed in service by July 2010, to utilize their existing contracts. The compressor stations would be 

constructed by separate crews. 

Presently it is envisioned that there would be six spreads for the Project. Spread 1 would consist 

of Loops 1-4 (149.5 miles), spread 2 would be Loop 5-8 (134.2 miles), spread 3 would be Loops 9 and 10 

and Greenfield 3 (156.8 miles), spread 4 would be Loop 11 (6.6 miles), spread 5 would be Greenfield 1 

(20 miles), and spread 6 would be Greenfield 2 (16.1 miles).

2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE INSPECTION AND MITIGATION MONITORING 

FGT would include implementation details in its construction drawings and specifications to 

ensure compliance with all environmental requirements. These requirements would include FGT’s Plan 

and Procedures, the FERC certificate conditions, applicable permits, and any additional requirements of 

other federal, state, and local agencies. FGT would provide specifications and advance versions of the 

Construction Drawing Package to prospective contractors to solicit accurate bids for construction. This 

 

19 Long pipelines are constructed by breaking the length into multiple segments, and assigning an individual construction 

crew to each segment or “spread.” Each crew would be composed of all the activities needed to construct the pipeline (i.e., 

clearing, grading, stringing, welding, lowering-in, and final clean-up). 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-35 

package would include pipeline, facility, and equipment drawings and all environmental permits, 

certificates, and/or clearances associated with the Project. 

FGT has prepared Project-specific construction-related plans (appendix E) which include FGT’s 

Plan and Procedures; Spill Prevention and Response Plan; Preliminary Stormwater Pollution Prevention 

(SWPP) Plan; Unanticipated Discoveries Plan; and would combine these documents with summaries of 

all other environmental requirements from permits, clearances, authorizations, and site-specific plans for 

the Project as a reference tool for the pipeline construction contractors. FGT would prepare and conduct 

environmental training for its field construction personnel and all pipeline construction contractor’s 

personnel prior to and during construction of the Project. This training would focus on implementation of 

the construction-related plans and other compliance issues and mitigation measures, as appropriate. 

For purposes of quality assurance and compliance with mitigation measures, other applicable 

regulatory requirements, and FGT specifications, FGT would be represented by Environmental Inspectors 

(EIs) at the construction site. The EIs’ duties would include ensuring compliance with the conditions of 

FGT’s Certificate, FGT’s environmental designs and specifications, and any environmental conditions 

attached to other permits or authorizations. A sufficient number of copies of the Construction Drawing 

Package and environmental documents would be distributed to FGT's inspectors and to contractors’ 

supervisory personnel. 

In addition to EIs FGT agreed to implement an Environmental Compliance Monitoring and 

Reporting Program (ECMR Program) for the Phase VIII Expansion Project. The overall objective of the 

ECMR Program would be twofold; to assess environmental compliance during construction in order to 

achieve a high level of environmental compliance throughout the Project and to assist FERC staff in 

screening and processing variance requests during construction. As a result, an ECMR program would 

provide beefits to both FGT and FERC. The overall objective of the ECMR program is threefold: 

• To assess environmental compliance during construction in order to achieve a high level 

of environmental compliance throughout the Project; 

• To assist the FERC staff in screening and processing variance requests during 

construction; and 

• To create and maintain a database of daily reports documenting compliance and instances 

of non-compliance. 

The ECMR Program would involve the use of full-time third-party compliance monitors 

representing the Commission at each construction spread to monitor compliance with Project mitigation 

measures and requirements throughout construction. 

Surface disturbance locations and acreages identified in this EIS are anticipated to be sufficient 

for the construction and operation (including maintenance) of the Project and all ancillary improvements. 

However, route realignments, moving approved extra workspace, adding new extra workspace, adding 

access routes, and other project refinements often continue past the project review phase and into the 

construction phase. As a result, work area locations and disturbed acreages documented in this EIS may 

change after Project approval. 

Subsequent to Project approval, when work areas outside those evaluated in this EIS are found to 

be needed, additional inventory and evaluation would be performed to ensure that impact on biological, 

cultural, and other resources would be avoided or minimized to the maximum extent practicable. FGT 

would document and forward any new workspace locations and survey results to the FERC in the form of 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-36 

a “variance request.” Appropriate agency consultations/approvals would be conducted/obtained prior to 

FERC approval of the variance. At the conclusion of the Project, as-built drawings would be provided to 

us. 

While implementing the Commission’s Pre-filing Process, FGT distributed toll-free telephone 

numbers and a website address to affected landowners and other stakeholders. We encourage FGT to 

continue its commitment to communicate with affected landowners and other parties. During 

construction it is imperative that landowners have an avenue to contact FGT regarding construction issues 

and complaints. The Commission staff is interested in ensuring that landowner issues are resolved in a 

timely and efficient manner, should the Project be approved. Residential impacts are evaluated further in 

section 4.8.3 of this EIS. 

2.6 OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND SAFETY CONTROLS 

FGT would operate and maintain the Project and aboveground facilities in compliance with DOT 

regulations set forth at 49 CFR 192, FERC's regulations at 18 CFR 380.15, and maintenance provisions of 

FGT’s Plan and Procedures. Operations and maintenance considerations for pipeline facilities are 

described in section 4.12 - Reliability and Safety. FGT anticipates that 17 personnel would be added to 

FGT’s staff to operate and maintain the Project facilities. Contractors would be used for certain infrequent 

and/or specialized tasks such as right-of-way mowing or internal inspection of the pipeline. 

2.6.1 Pipeline 

Operational activity on the pipeline would be limited primarily to maintenance of the rights-ofway and inspection, repair, and cleaning of the pipeline. Periodic aerial and ground inspections by 

pipeline personnel would identify conditions that could present a safety hazard or require preventive 

maintenance or repairs. In accordance with 49 CFR 192, each new pipeline facility would be inspected 

for leakage as part of scheduled operations and maintenance procedures. 

The pipeline cathodic protection system would also be monitored and inspected periodically to 

ensure proper and adequate corrosion protection. The pipeline would be designed to allow the use of 

internal inspection technology. FGT would take appropriate responses to conditions observed during 

internal inspections as necessary. 

FGT would maintain vegetation on the permanent rights-of-way in upland areas by adhering to its 

Plan, which includes mowing, cutting, and trimming, except in areas of actively cultivated cropland. The 

entire construction right-of-way would be allowed to revegetate; however, large brush and trees would be 

periodically removed from near the pipeline. 

In accordance with FGT’s Procedures, it would not conduct vegetation maintenance over the full 

width of the permanent right-of-way in wetland areas. However, to facilitate periodic pipeline 

corrosion/leak surveys, a corridor centered on the pipeline and up to 10 feet wide would be maintained in 

an herbaceous state. In addition, trees within 15 feet of the pipeline that are greater than 15 feet in height 

would be selectively cut and removed from the permanent right-of-way. Maintenance of the permanent 

right-of-way through wetlands crossed by HDD would be limited to ensure there has been no 

encroachment on the right-of-way. Pipe inspection would be accomplished by means identified in the 

pipeline integrity management program (e.g., pigging for internal anomalies and aerial surveillance for 

encroachment or unauthorized activities on the permanent right-of-way). 

In accordance with DOT regulations, pipeline facilities would be clearly marked at line-of-sight 

intervals and at crossings of roads, railroads, waterbodies, and other key points. Markers would clearly 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
2-37 

indicate the presence of the pipeline and provide a telephone number and address where a company 

representative can be reached in the event of an emergency or prior to any excavation in the area of the 

pipeline by a third party. As part of its effort to prevent any third-party damage on the pipeline, FGT 

currently participates in the One Call system in all states where FGT currently has operational facilities. 

2.6.2 Compressor Stations 

FGT would operate and maintain the proposed compressor stations in accordance with DOT 

requirements and standard procedures designed to ensure the integrity and safe operation of the facilities 

and to maintain firm natural gas transportation service. In addition to on-site operation and maintenance 

activities, the compressor stations would be linked to a central control system through a Supervisory 

Control and Data Acquisition system, which would monitor the pipeline system on a 24-hour basis. In 

accordance with DOT requirements, FGT proposes to establish and follow routine procedures for 

maintenance and operations to ensure that the stations operate safely. Standard FGT operations at 

compressor stations would include such activities as the calibration, maintenance, and inspection of 

equipment, as well as the monitoring of pressure, temperature, and vibration data, and traditional 

landscape maintenance such as mowing and the application of fertilizer, etc. Standard FGT operations 

would also include the periodic checking of safety and emergency equipment and cathodic protection 

systems. 

2.6.3 M&R Station Sites and other Appurtenant Facilities 

Measurement technicians, based at compressor stations, would perform operation and 

maintenance of the new equipment. Site personnel would perform routine checks of the facilities, 

including calibration of equipment and instrumentation, inspection of critical components, and scheduled 

and preventative maintenance of equipment. Safety equipment, such as pressure-relief devices, would be 

tested for proper operation. Corrective actions would be taken for any identified problem. The M&R 

station sites would be equipped with pressure-protection devices to protect the site piping from 

overpressure in the event that site or unit control systems fail. 

2.7 FUTURE PLANS AND ABANDONMENT 

FGT currently has no plans for future expansion of the facilities beyond that which has been 

proposed. If market conditions change such that an expansion is justified, FGT would seek the 

appropriate authorization from FERC and other federal, state, and local agencies at that time. The Project 

has a design life of more than 50 years; the actual life may be considerably longer. However, in the event 

of project termination/abandonment, FGT would propose to remove aboveground structures, while 

abandoning subsurface structures in place. In addition, any future expansion or abandonment would be 

subject to appropriate federal, state, and local regulations in effect at that time.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

5.1 SUMMARY OF THE STAFF’S ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED 

ACTION AND ALTERNATIVES 

The conclusions and recommendations presented in this section are those of the FERC 

environmental staff. Our conclusions and recommendations are based on input from the COE and the 

ANF as cooperating agencies in the preparation of this EIS. However, the COE and ANF would present 

their own conclusions and recommendations in their respective Records of Decision, and would adopt this 

EIS per 40 CFR 1506.3 if, after an independent review of the document, they conclude that their 

comments and suggestions have been satisfied. 

We have determined that construction and operation of FGT’s Phase VIII Expansion Project 

would result in mostly temporary and short-term environmental impacts during construction and 

operation. However, the Project could result inlong-term and potentially permanent environmental 

impacts on upland forest, forested wetland vegetation, and individuals of federally listed threatened and 

endangered species. Mitigation proposed by FGT and our recommended mitigation would ensure that 

impacts on forested tracts and endangered species in the Project area are minimized. These impacts 

would be most significant during the period of construction. 

As part of our analysis, we developed specific mitigation measures that we believe are 

appropriate and reasonable for the construction and operation of the Project. We believe environmental 

impacts would be minimized if the Project is constructed and operated in accordance with applicable laws 

and regulations, FGT’s proposed mitigation, and our additional mitigation measures. We are, therefore, 

recommending that our mitigation measures be attached as conditions to any authorization issued by the 

Commission. A summary of the Project impacts and our conclusions are presented below by resource. 

5.1.1 Geology 

Construction and operation of the Project would not materially alter the geologic conditions of the 

Project area. No impacts on mining resources are anticipated during construction and operation of the 

pipeline facilities. No significant geologic hazards would be encountered by the Project. Karst features, 

particularly sinkhole formations, are common in some areas of the proposed FGT pipeline loops. FGT 

would monitor for karst features and has identified potential mitigation measures it would implement in 

the event these features are encountered during construction of the pipeline facilities. We believe FGT’s 

measures would adequately address the potential hazards associated with karst terrain. 

FGT has developed a plan for Recognizing and Reporting Paleontological Resources, and we are 

recommending FGT revise its plan in consultation with the USFS to incorporate any paleontological 

requirements of the USFS for crossing ANF lands. FGT has also developed measures to minimize 

blasting impacts on wells and springs, if needed during construction, and has committed to providing a 

temporary water supply and repairing damaged wells or compensating landowners if nearby wells are 

damaged by blasting. However, we are recommending that FGT file a Blasting Plan that describes how 

the applicable local, state, and federal regulations would be followed and implemented; the pre-blasting 

geotechnical investigations that would be conducted; the monitoring plans for residential and commercial 

structures that may be impacted by blasting; and the provisions for repair to any residences and 

commercial structures damaged by Project blasting. 

Based on FGT’s proposal, including implementation of its Plan and Procedures and our 

recommended mitigation measures, we believe impacts on geological resources would be adequately 

minimized and would not be significant.

5.1.2 Soils 

Construction of the Project facilities would disturb soils, resulting in increased potential for 

erosion, compaction, mixing of topsoil, and the introduction of rock into the topsoil. Prime farmland 

constitutes approximately 7 percent of the Project area. Although over 50 percent of the Project’s soils 

are highly erodible by wind, a very small percentage (less than 3 percent) is highly erodible by sheet and 

rill erosion. The impacts on soils described above would be effectively minimized through the use of 

erosion control and revegetation measures described in FGT’s Plan and Procedures. 

5.1.3 Water and Wetland Resources 

Groundwater serves as a water source for a majority of the population in the FGT Project area. 

Surficial aquifers are generally used in rural areas and are considered supplemental water supplies. 

Within the Project area, the Biscayne aquifer is the only aquifer that is a designated EPA sole-source 

aquifer under the Section 1424(e) of the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. FGT would implement its 

SPAR Plan to ensure that potential impacts on groundwater resources from spills and leaks of hazardous 

materials would be prevented or minimized to the extent practicable. 

Standard pipeline construction procedures could affect groundwater resources by altering 

overland water flow and infiltration rates. Because the recharge areas are much larger than the footprint 

of the Project, changes in groundwater recharge as a result of Project construction should not be 

significant. There are 85 known private water supply wells located within 150 feet of the proposed 

construction work areas, but no known springs within this distance. A total of 44 public supply wells 

have been identified within 500 feet of FGT’s proposed construction work areas. While no statedesignated WHPAs would be crossed, Project construction would cross three county-designated WHPAs. 

Because FGT is continuing to consult with counties regarding WHPAs, we recommend that FGT file 

documentation of its consultation with the counties, and any construction restrictions FGT would 

implement through the WHPAs. 

Construction of the Project would require the use of surface water sources for hydrostatic testing 

of the pipeline segments. No potential effect on users of groundwater would be expected from water 

withdrawals for hydrostatic testing. We believe implementation of FGT’s Plan, Procedures, SPAR Plan, 

and our recommendations would minimize the likelihood of Project-related impacts on water resources. 

The Project would cross a total of 388 waterbodies (streams, ponds, and canals). One waterbody 

is classified as a source of drinking water or potable water supply; however, this water withdrawal 

location would be greater than 3 miles from the Project. The waterbodies in the Project area are 

considered warmwater fishery resources and all are freshwater except three which are estuarine. Twohundred and eighty-five (285) of the streams are classified as perennial, and 13 are designated as major 

(i.e., wider than 100 feet). 

While FGT would cross most waterbodies using either wet or dry open-cut methods, it would 

cross 12 of the 13 major waterbodies using the HDD crossing method. Waterbody crossings would be 

constructed by FGT in accordance with applicable permits and the measures contained in its Procedures, 

which would minimize impacts on waterbodies to the maximum extent practicable. However, we 

recommend that any improvements to access roads comply with necessary permits and approvals (e.g., 

404/401) prior to the improvement of any access road. Additionally, because flooding from heavy rains 

or hurricanes could occur during construction, we are recommending that FGT develop a flood 

contingency plan to minimize construction-related impacts that result from flood events. Further, because 

there is a potential for any HDD to fail, we are recommending that FGT develop a contingency plan in 

consultation with the Commission, COE, FWS, NPS, ADCNR, FWCC, and other agencies, as applicable, 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
5-3 

for Commission review and approval prior to conducting an alternative crossing method. 

Because the site-specific plans we have received from FGT for crossing the Goulds Canal and 

Big Escambia Creek have not been fully surveyed, we are recommending that FGT file revised sitespecific plans for these crossings. We are also recommending that FGT file all outstanding HDD 

feasibility studies. 

FGT proposes to use surface waters as the source for hydrostatic testing its pipeline facilities, 

including water from several different rivers, creeks, lakes, canals, and ponds. FGT would minimize the 

potential effects of withdrawal and discharge on surface water by adhering to the measures in its 

Procedures. 

As part of the ERP process in Florida, FGT has identified 24 SSLs that would be crossed by the 

Project, which includes mostly large streams and rivers. FGT would obtain necessary authorizations for 

crossing SSLs as part of the ERP permitting process, and would also obtain authorization from the five 

water management districts for all other state waterbody, canal, and levee crossings. 

Project construction would temporarily disturb 830 acres of wetlands (120 acres in Alabama and 

710 acres in Florida). The Project would cross 917 wetland systems (129 in Alabama and 788 in Florida) 

for a total distance of about 84 miles. Of the total wetland acreage, approximately 41 percent would be 

PFO, 34 percent PEM, 20 percent PSS, and about 4 percent ESS. POW wetlands would be less than one 

percent of the wetland area temporarily impacted. Impacts would generally be limited to wetland soils, 

vegetation, and hydrology. The impact on PEM and PSS wetlands would be temporary because the 

vegetation would be allowed to transition back into a community functioning similar to pre-construction 

wetlands. However, the clearing of PFO wetlands would result in long-term impact because of the slow 

growth rate of trees. To facilitate maintenance and inspection of the pipeline, approximately 94 acres of 

PFO wetlands (14 acres in Alabama and 94 acres in Florida) would remain in the PSS or PEM state. 

About 0.07 acre of PEM non-tidal wetlands would be permanently filled as a result of the installation of 

an aboveground tie-in valve at MP 17.8 on Loop 11 where wetland impacts could not be avoided. 

FGT would limit wetland impacts by reducing the width of the construction right-of-way, 

implementing its Procedures, and complying with the conditions of applicable authorizations, such as 

from the COE under section 404, the FDEP’s ERP, and the state of Alabama. FGT would also minimize 

impacts on forested wetlands by overlapping the construction right-of-way, including extra workspaces, 

on adjacent powerline corridors to the extent practicable. FGT has committed to using the HDD method 

to cross 40 wetland areas. In addition, FGT intends to utilize existing access roads through wetland areas. 

If it becomes necessary to stabilize an existing access road in a wetland area, FGT may install timber 

equipment mats over the existing road surface to facilitate the passage of vehicles and equipment while 

protecting the wetland. FGT would locate extra workspaces at least 50 feet from wetland boundaries. 

Because FGT has not provided site-specific justification for all locations where it would have extra 

workspaces closer than 50 feet of wetlands, we are recommending that FGT provide this information 

prior to construciton. FGT would purchase mitigation credits from approved wetland banks to offset the 

temporary and permanent loss of wetland function within forested and scrub-shrub wetlands in 

accordance with COE and state approvals. We are also recommending that FGT file its completed 

wetland mitigation plan. 

Based on FGT’s proposal, including implementation of its Plan and Procedures, and our 

recommended mitigation measures, we believe impacts on water resources would be adequately 

minimized and would not be significant. We also believe impacts on herbaceous and scrub-shrub 

wetlands would generally be temporary or short-term. Impacts on forested wetlands would result in longterm to permanent impacts, which are considered significant. However, implementation of FGT’s 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
5-4 

Procedures, its compensatory mitigation, and our recommended measures would ensure that impacts on 

forested wetlands are adequately minimized and/or mitigated to acceptable levels. 

5.1.4 Vegetation 

The Project would cross the Outer Coastal Plain Mixed Forest ecological province within the 

Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains. Upland habitat types crossed by the Project would include: upland 

coniferous forests, upland hardwood forests, upland hardwood/conifer mix forests, pine plantations, scrub 

and shrub lands, herbaceous (including dry prairie), and cropland/pastureland. Existing maintained 

rights-of-way paralleled or crossed by the Project typically contain herbaceous or shrub habitats. The 

vegetation habitat types listed above can be categorized into four primary vegetative cover types, 

including: forestland, pine plantation, open land, and agricultural land. 

The majority of the vegetation type that would be crossed by the Project loops, greenfield routes, 

and extra workspaces would be agricultural land (1,726.6 acres), followed by forested land (1,006.3 

acres), open land (928.4 acres), and pine plantation (717.7 acres) cover types. The remaining 1,744.7 

acres of disturbed area consists of commercial/industrial, residential, or open water lands. Agricultural 

(with the exception of 151 acres of citrus groves) and open lands would return to their previous use 

following construction. Forested land and pine plantations would be allowed to revegetate to their 

previous use within the temporary right-of-way; however this would be a long-term impact given the 

length of time it would take for trees to grow to conditions prior to construction. FGT would maintain the 

permanent right-of-way through these areas in an herbaceous or scrub vegetative state. 

FGT has developed a Noxious Weed Plan to minimize the spread of noxious weeds with 

preventative measures and treatment methods. 

Access road improvements would have a minor impact on existing vegetation. The seventeen 

contractor/pipe storage and contractor yards would primarily affect agriculture land and 

commercial/industrial land cover types which we expect to quickly return to pre-construction conditions 

following completion of the Project. 

To reduce impacts on wiregrass communities within the ANF and on FDOF lands, FGT is 

consulting with the USFS and FDOF to develop measures to restore these vegetative communities of 

special concern. We are recommending that FGT complete this consultation. 

We believe impacts on herbaceous vegetation generally would be temporary or short-term and 

would not be significant. Impacts on forested tracts would result in long-term and limited permanent 

impacts that could be significant. However, given the overall forested vegetation within Florida and 

Alabama, the permanent impacts would represent less than 0.0001 percent of each state’s total forested 

vegetation. Further, FGT would parallel and overlap existing rights-of-way, to the extent practicable, 

minimizing impacts on forested areas, thereby substantially reducing these impacts. 

5.1.5 Wildlife and Fisheries 

The predominant wildlife habitats in the Project area are agricultural lands, forested lands, open 

areas, wetlands, pine plantations, and developed areas. The impact of the Project on wildlife species, 

including game species, and their habitats would vary depending on the requirements of each species and 

the existing habitat present along the Project route. Clearing right-of-way vegetation would reduce cover, 

nesting, and foraging habitat for some wildlife. The degree of impact would depend on the type of habitat 

affected and the rate at which vegetation regenerates after construction. We have determined that FGT’s 

proposal to follow existing corridors; use HDD to cross sensitive resources; implement its Plan, 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
5-5 

Procedures, and Noxious Weed Plan; and reseed in accordance with local agencies’ requested seed mixes 

and rates, would minimize Project impacts on wildlife habitat. 

All waterbodies that would be affected by the Project have been classified as warmwater 

fisheries. Of the 388 waterbodies that would be crossed, 285 are perennial and 16 are considered fisheries 

of special concern. Construction of the Project could result in several impacts on fisheries resources, 

including increased stress due to changes in water quality, decreased habitat, loss of shading, and 

increased likelihood of streambank erosion. Overall, these impacts would be minor due to the relatively 

small area of the waterbody that would be affected. 

Based on the results of consultation with the NMFS Southeast Regional Office, about 4 miles of 

Loop 11 in Miami-Dade County would cross EFH, as defined by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, including three canal crossings. FGT has committed to purchasing 

mitigation credits to offset any temporary impacts on EFH that would occur as a result of the Project and 

would cross the canals using the HDD method. We believe implementation of its Procedures, paralleling 

and overlapping existing rights-of-way to the extent practicable, implementation of its proposed HDDs, 

and these credits would minimize and mitigate the impacts on EFH. EFH wetlands (i.e., mangroves) 

would not be precluded from regrowing on the construction or permanent rights-of-way during operation 

of the Project. Therefore, no permanent impacts on EFH would be expected. However, FGT provided 

NMFS, FWCC, and Miami-Dade County with the original alignment through the Miami-Dade County 

landfill (as opposed to the currently proposed route adjacent to the landfill). Therefore, we are 

recommending that FGT update its consultation with these respective agencies. 

Based on FGT’s proposal, including implementation of its Plan, Procedures, and SPAR Plan, we 

believe impacts on fisheries would be adequately minimized. 

5.1.6 Special Status Species 

Based on consultation with the FWS, 84 federally listed or proposed candidate species were 

determined to potentially occur in the general vicinity of the Project. FGT has conducted numerous 

species-specific surveys of their pipeline routes and Project work areas to identify the presence of 

federally listed species in the Project area. After completing any remaining field surveys, FGT would 

prepare a Sensitive Species Mitigation Plan and prepare an Endangered & Threatened Species Field 

Reconnaissance Report, which would both be filed with the FERC and the FWS for review and comment. 

On the basis of the ongoing field survey reports, analysis of the potential effects of the proposed 

actions, and informal consultation with the FWS, we conclude that the Project would have no effect on 29 

federally listed or candidate species. Additionally, with the implementation of FGT’s proposed 

construction and mitigation plans and our recommendations, we have determined that the Project would 

be not likely to adversely affect 21 faunal species and 24 plant species; be not likely to jeopardize 6 

candidate species; and be likely to adversely affect 4 federally listed species, including the red-cockaded 

woodpecker, the scrub jay, the eastern indigo snake, and the gopher tortoise. FGT has scheduled 

additional surveys to occur through the spring of 2009 for 36 federally listed species, including 2 

amphibians, 5 reptiles, 5 birds, 1 mammal, and 23 plants. However, because of the mitigation that FGT 

has proposed and/or our recommendations, the results of these surveys would not alter our determinations 

of effect as FGT would still be required to adhere to their proposed and/or our recommended conservation 

measures. 

We have recommended various mitigation measures to reduce impacts on mussel species, the 

bluetail mole skinks, sand skinks, eastern indigo snakes, flatwoods salamanders, gopher tortoises, 

Audubon’s crested caracaras, Florida scrub jays, red-cockaded woodpeckers, wood storks, and listed plant 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
5-6 

species. We are requesting that the FWS consider the draft EIS as the BA for FGT’s Project as part of our 

ESA Section 7 consultation process. 

A total of 230 state-listed species (species protected at the state level only) were identified by 

agencies and stakeholders as potentially occurring within the vicinity of the Project. Of this total, 210 

species (8 fish, 3 amphibians, 9 reptiles, 17 birds, 8 mammals, and 165 plants) have the potential to occur 

within the Project area based on field reconnaissance and, therefore, may be impacted as a result of 

Project construction and operation. FGT’s colocation with existing pipeline/utility corridors and 

overlapping the construction workspace with these existing disturbed areas would minimize potential 

impacts on state-listed species by reducing the overall extent of new clearing and land disturbance. 

 Reduction of vegetation clearing would minimize both direct impacts on species and cumulative 

impacts on their habitats. Overall, the pipeline facilities would parallel existing utility/road rights-of-way 

for approximately 99 percent of the total pipeline route. Implementation of the requirements in FGT’s 

Plan and Procedures provides additional protection measures because the Project would be constructed 

and restored in a manner that minimizes impact. With restored vegetative communities, state-listed 

wildlife species would be able to use the right-of-way, and the localized loss of any individuals during 

construction would be rapidly replaced through colonization of the emerging habitat. We are 

recommending that FGT not begin construction until all necessary consultation, formal and informal, is 

complete with the FWS. 

In summary, we believe that implementation of our recommendations and use of FGT’s Plan, 

Procedures, Noxious Weed Plan, and SPAR Plan during construction and operation of the Project would 

minimize impacts on federally and state-listed species. Additional mitigation for federally listed species 

and certain specialized communities would also serve to mitigate impacts on many state-listed species 

that are associated with federally listed species and/or their habitats. FGT would continue to consult with 

federal and state agencies regarding sensitive habitats and species. FGT would file any agency 

recommendations with the FERC upon completion of the permitting phase of the Project. 

5.1.7 Land Use, Recreation, and Visual Resources 

The total land area that would be disturbed by construction of the pipeline and aboveground 

facilities would be about 6,124 acres. Operation of all FGT’s proposed facilities would affect about 2,890 

acres. Construction and operation of the proposed pipeline would include both temporary and permanent 

impacts on a variety of land uses. Land uses that would be affected by the Project would include 

agricultural (about 29 percent), commercial/industrial (about 25 percent), forest land (about 16 percent), 

open land (about 15 percent), pine plantation (about 12 percent), and residential land (about 3 percent). 

Visual impacts associated with the pipeline would be greatest where the pipeline route parallels or crosses 

roads, trails, or prominent off-site observation points, and other places where the rights-of-way may be 

seen by passing motorists or other recreationists. These visual impacts would not be a significant change 

from the existing visual characteristics at these observation points because the majority of each pipeline 

route would be constructed within or directly adjacent to existing pipeline or utility corridors. However, a 

commercial building could be visually affected by the proposed location of a remote vent (MP 121.1 on 

Loop 9). Therefore, we are recommending FGT consult with this business in the development of a visual 

screening plan. With FGT’s proposed locations of aboveground facilities and our recommendation, we 

believe the Project would not significantly affect the surrounding visual landscape. 

FGT’s proposed construction work area for the pipeline facilities (i.e., the construction right-ofway and temporary extra workspaces) would be located within 50 feet of approximately 264 residences. 

Six residences are located within the proposed construction work area. The pipeline would be installed 

beneath one residence using an HDD that would also cross the Suncoast Parkway. We are recommending 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
5-7 

that FGT modify its HDD Contingency Plan to include provisions for a frac-out in the vicinity of 

residences. For those residences within 25 feet of the construction workspace, FGT has developed sitespecific plans that describe the mitigation measures proposed to reduce the Project’s impact on the 

property. We have reviewed these restoration plans, and find that they adequately minimize disturbance 

on residences to the extent practicable. 

In addition to residences, there are about 257 non-residential structures (e.g. garages, sheds, 

outbuildings) located within 50 feet of the proposed construction work area. Of these structures, 

approximately 72 are located within the construction work area. FGT has filed site-specific plans for the 

active businesses or commercial facilities located within 25 feet of the construction work area. We are 

recommending that FGT provide these plans to the businesses for their review and comment. 

Construction would increase vehicle traffic in the vicinity of the Project. To reduce the additional 

traffic load, we are recommending that FGT provide busses for workers from the contractor yards to the 

construction work area. 

FGT’s Project would cross approximately 42.7 miles of public/recreational lands. These lands 

include 24 separate public resources representing a National Forest, state forests, water management 

districts, WMAs, greenways, regional parks managed by counties and water management districts, other 

conservation lands, and recreational trails. FGT has initiated contact with the land managing agencies for 

these resources. In general, some of the concerns raised by these agencies include right-of-way access, 

timber resources, threatened and endangered species issues and sensitive habitats, and restoration issues. 

FGT would continue to coordinate with these agencies regarding specific concerns and mitigation 

measures specific to each property. Because agency consultation is not complete, we are recommending 

that FGT complete consultation with the SWFWMD, SFWMD, TNC, Manatee County, USFS, and 

FDOF. Further, we are recommending that FGT not construct within Joe Budd WMA while it is open for 

hunting (Fridays through Sundays). 

To minimize the likelihood that contaminated soils and groundwater would be transported as a 

result of the Project at the military canal crossing on Loop 11, we are recommending that FGT file its sitespecific plan developed to address handling and disposing of potentially contaminated materials. 

No CZMA areas would be impacted in Alabama. In Florida, the FDEP would administer the 

CZMA authorization as part of its ERP. Because FGT has not received the ERP, we recommend that it 

file concurrence that the Project is consistent with Florida’s Coastal Management Program prior to any 

construction. 

5.1.8 Cultural Resources 

Cultural resources surveys have been conducted for the majority of FGT’s pipeline route in 

Alabama (except for about 1.7 mile because of denied access or line shifts ) and in Florida (except for 

about 12.7 miles of the mainline because of denied access, line shifts, or incomplete civil design). In 

addition, extra work spaces, access roads, compressor stations, contractor/pipe yards, and other ancillary 

areas remain to be surveyed. In Alabama, FGT identified one isolated archaeological find, two 

archaeological sites, and one structure more than 50 years old. None of these cultural resources are listed 

on, or considered eligible for listing on, the NRHP. The Alabama SHPO indicated that the Project 

activities in Alabama would have no adverse effect on cultural resources eligible for or listed on the 

NRHP. 

In Florida, FGT identified 40 isolated archaeological finds, 82 archaeological sites, and 14 

potentially historic structures. FGT considered 16 of the archaeological sites as potentially eligible for the 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
5-8 

NRHP and recommended that all be subjected to Phase II (evaluatory) testing. FGT also recommended 

additional testing at three archaeological sites that had been determined eligible for the NRHP as part of 

FGT’s earlier Phase III Expansion, to assess whether significant, intact cultural resources extend into the 

Project corridor. The Florida SHPO concurred with the Phase II testing recommendations. FGT 

considered six of the structures as potentially eligible for the NRHP. FGT indicated that it would avoid 

impacting these features by boring or using an HDD to protect them. We are currently awaiting the 

Florida SHPO’s comments on FGT’s cultural resource survey reports. Therefore, we have recommended 

that the appropriate studies and consultations be completed before construction is authorized. 

5.1.9 Socioeconomics and Transportation 

Construction of the Project would result in a minor, temporary increase in population, traffic, and 

demand for temporary housing and public services. Due to the temporary and limited nature of these 

impacts, we believe they would not be significant. Construction and operation of the Project would have 

a beneficial impact on local tax revenues, unemployment, and economies. Operation and maintenance of 

the pipeline, aboveground facilities, and the permanent staff associated with them (17 full-time 

employees) would contribute to each states’ property (or ad valorem) and sales tax revenues for the life of 

the Project. However, contributions would be negligible compared to the overall tax revenues generated 

in each state. 

5.1.10 Air Quality and Noise 

Construction of the pipeline and aboveground facilities would result in intermittent and shortterm construction equipment and fugitive dust emissions. We would not expect construction equipment 

emissions to cause or significantly contribute to a violation of an applicable ambient air quality standard. 

FGT is proposing to add compression at eight existing compressor stations and construct a new facility in 

Brighton, Florida (Compressor Station 29). Several of the compressor engines FGT would install would 

be powered by electricity and would emit no regulated air pollutants. All of the combustion units FGT 

proposes to install at the compressor stations would be fueled by natural gas. These natural gas-fired 

units would emit minimal amounts of regulated air pollutants. Additionally, the new gas-fired turbines 

would be equipped with low NOx combustors which would greatly reduce the emissions of NOx.. FGT’s 

Project facilities would be considered as “minor sources” and would not require BACT or PSD air quality 

modeling. 

Noise generated by the new compressor station and modifications to existing stations would be 

continuous. To assess potential noise impacts, FGT performed noise level surveys to determine the 

ambient noise level at all NSAs within a 1/2 mile of all new compressor units. The noise attributable to 

these new and modified stations would comply with our noise standard and would not result in significant 

noise impacts at nearby NSAs. To ensure that actual noise levels resulting from Project operation would 

not exceed an Ldn of 55 dBA at any nearby NSA, we recommend that FGT file post-construction noise 

survey reports for all of its new or modified compressor stations. 

 Noise would be generated during the construction phase of the Project. Pipeline construction 

usually proceeds at rates ranging from several hundred feet to one mile per day. However, because of the 

assembly-line method of construction, activities in any one area could last from several weeks to several 

months on an intermittent basis. Construction equipment would be operated on an as-needed basis during 

this period. While individuals in the immediate vicinity of construction activities could experience an 

increase in noise, this effect would be temporary and localized. Nighttime noise levels would not be 

expected to increase because most construction activities would be limited to daylight hours, except for 

some specialized construction activities such as drilled crossing (i.e., HDD). 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
5-9 

At HDD locations, drilling equipment may operate on a 24-hour-per-day and 7-day-per-week 

basis. FGT prepared an acoustical assessment for all of the planned HDD sites. The results of the 

assessments indicated that several of the HDD sites have the potential to cause significant noise impacts 

at the nearest NSA. As such, FGT has committed to installing a temporary noise barrier and additional 

mitigation measures at some sites where noise attributable to HDD activities would be significant. 

However, FGT’s analysis and mitigation measures were insufficient to prevent noise levels from 

becoming significant at all HDD locations. Therefore, we have recommended that FGT file a 

supplemental noise analysis including noise mitigation to reduce HDD related noise at these sites. 

5.1.11 Safety 

FGT would comply with all DOT material and construction standards for natural gas pipeline 

facilities. Following construction, FGT would initiate a pipeline integrity management plan to ensure 

public safety during operation of the proposed facilities. The Project would result in only a slight increase 

in risk to the nearby public. 

5.1.12 Cumulative Impacts 

We identified ten reasonably foreseeable projects that could overlap or be within the same county 

as FGT’s Project throughout the length of the pipeline and associated facilities. The major existing or 

proposed projects include powerlines, roads, residential and commercial development, and power 

generation facilities. The majority of the cumulative impacts would be temporary and minor. However, 

long-term cumulative impacts on vegetation and land uses in forested areas could occur if these 

reasonably foreseeable future projects are constructed and affect similar vegetation/land uses. There is a 

potential that the Project and a proposed airport near Panama City in Bay County, Florida would be under 

construction at the same time and could potentially result in minor and temporary cumulative impacts on 

air quality. Long-term cumulative benefits would be realized from a boost to the local economy 

associated with tax revenues. Short-term cumulative economic benefits would also be realized through 

jobs, wages, purchases of goods and materials, and sales taxes. 

We include recommendations in this EIS to reduce the environmental impacts associated with 

FGT’s Project. Similarly, each of the other projects considered in our cumulative analysis has been or 

would be designed to avoid or minimize impacts on sensitive environmental resources. 

5.1.13 Alternatives Considered 

As alternatives to the proposed action, we evaluated the No Action or Postponed Action 

Alternative, system alternatives, route alternatives, route variations, and aboveground facility site 

alternatives. While the No Action or Postponed Action Alternative would avoid the environmental 

impacts identified in this EIS, the objectives of the Project would not be met. Under these scenarios, the 

existing natural gas transportation systems in Alabama and Florida would continue to provide natural gas 

service to the Gulf Coast Region and Project customers would likely seek natural gas from other sources. 

To increase capacity or to provide a new source of natural gas, expanded and/or new gas pipeline 

facilities may need to be constructed to transport natural gas supplies. If new natural gas pipeline 

facilities were approved and constructed, each project would result in a set of specific environmental 

impacts that could be less than, similar to, or greater than those associated with the current proposal. 

Energy conservation would currently offset only a small portion of the energy demand. 

Therefore, we eliminated energy conservation as an alternative to the overall Project. Alternative fuels, 

such as coal, oil, and nuclear power could support the generation of new electric power; however, each 

presents a unique set of challenges and at this time appear unlikely to compensate for the energy demands 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
5-10 

projected for Florida in the immediate future. Renewable resources are not (at this time) economically 

competitive with the proposed Project, and therefore are not considered reasonable alternatives. 

We evaluated five existing or proposed pipeline/gas delivery systems as alternatives to the 

Project. Each system was determined insufficient for reasons that include capacity limitations, in-service 

dates scheduled beyond FGT’s commitments, delays in licensing, and infrastructure limitations. 

Therefore, no reasonable system alternatives were identified. We also evaluated an operation alternative 

to the proposed Project. This alternative involved replacement of existing operational pipelines with 

larger diameter pipe to achieve the Project objectives. This approach was not determined to be a 

reasonable alternative because FGT’s current system is operating at full capacity and insufficient 

infrastructure exists to detour the gas around a specific segment while it is taken out of service for 

replacement. 

We evaluated a Cross-Gulf Route Alternative that would originate at the beginning of Loop 1 and 

travel south about 50 miles to the Gulf of Mexico. It would then traverse the Gulf of Mexico (about 425 

miles) and connect to FGT’s West Leg pipeline. This alternative would also require looping and 

greenfield pipelines to meet the Project purpose. This alternative could be considered environmentally 

preferable when considering onshore impacts (about 33 percent less onshore pipeline). However, because 

of the offshore impacts, added pipeline length (about 260 more miles), and the added cost of the 

alternative (almost double the cost of the Project), we do not recommend the Cross-Gulf Route 

Alternative as preferable to the proposed Project. 

Other route alternatives were considered for Greenfield segments 1 and 3. Four alternative routes 

were evaluated for Greenfield 1 and determined to be less preferable because of greater length of pipeline, 

greater impacts on state forest lands, less collocation with existing pipelines and utility corridors, and 

landowner opposition. Two alternative routes were evaluated for Greenfield 3 that would result in a 

significantly longer pipeline and consequently greater environmental impacts on wetlands, waterbodies, 

agricultural lands, and natural systems. Although the routes were similarly collocated with road and utility 

corridors, the increased environmental impacts were not viewed as preferable to the proposed route. As a 

result the Greenfield 1 and 3 route alternatives were eliminated from further consideration. 

Numerous route variations for looping and greenfield segments were evaluated during the prefiling routing analysis of the proposed Project, including modified (non-typical) construction methods to 

avoid or minimize impacts and address issues identified during scoping. Many of these variations were 

incorporated by FGT into its Project design, including crossovers of existing pipelines, reduced 

construction workspaces, non-typical construction methods (e.g., working over the existing pipelines for 

short distances), and alternative construction methods (e.g., HDD). Other route variations were not 

incorporated because they were not considered feasible or practical from a construction, engineering, or 

operational perspective. 

5.2 FERC STAFF’S RECOMMENDED MITIGATION 

If the Commission authorizes the Project, we recommend that the following measures be included 

as specific conditions in the Commission’s Order. We believe that these measures would further mitigate 

the environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of the proposed Project. 

1. FGT shall follow the construction procedures and mitigation measures described in its 

application, supplemental filings (including responses to staff information and data requests), and 

as identified in the EIS, unless modified by the Commission Order. FGT must: 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
5-11 

a. request any modification to these procedures, measures, or conditions in a filing with the 

Secretary; 

b. justify each modification relative to site-specific conditions; 

c. explain how that modification provides an equal or greater level of environmental 

protection than the original measure; and 

d. receive approval in writing from the Director of OEP before using that modification. 

2. The Director of OEP has delegated authority to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure the 

protection of all environmental resources during construction and operation of the Project. This 

authority shall allow: 

a. the modification of conditions of the Commission Order; and 

b. the design and implementation of any additional measures deemed necessary (including 

stop-work authority) to assure continued compliance with the intent of the environmental 

conditions as well as the avoidance or mitigation of adverse environmental impact 

resulting from Project construction and operation. 

3. Prior to any construction, FGT shall file an affirmative statement with the Secretary, certified 

by a senior company official, that all company personnel, EIs, and contractor personnel will be 

informed of the EI’s authority and have been or will be trained on the implementation of the 

environmental mitigation measures appropriate to their jobs before becoming involved with 

construction and restoration activities. 

4. The authorized facility locations shall be as shown in the EIS, as supplemented by filed alignment 

sheets. As soon as they are available, and prior to the start of construction, FGT shall file 

with the Secretary any revised detailed survey alignment maps/sheets at a scale not smaller than 

1:6,000 with station positions for all facilities approved by the Commission Order. All requests 

for modifications of environmental conditions of the Order or site-specific clearances must be 

written and must reference locations designated on these alignment maps/sheets. 

 FGT’s exercise of eminent domain authority granted under NGA Section 7(h) in any 

condemnation proceedings related to the Order must be consistent with these authorized facilities 

and locations. FGT’s right of eminent domain granted under NGA Section 7(h) does not 

authorize it to increase the size of its natural gas pipeline to accommodate future needs or to 

acquire a right-of-way for a pipeline to transport a commodity other than natural gas. 

5. FGT shall file with the Secretary detailed alignment maps/sheets and aerial photographs at a scale 

not smaller than 1:6,000 identifying all route realignments or facility relocations, and staging 

areas, pipe storage yards, new access roads, and other areas that would be used or disturbed and 

have not been previously identified in filings with the Secretary. Approval for each of these areas 

must be explicitly requested in writing. For each area, the request must include a description of 

the existing land use/cover type, and documentation of landowner approval, whether any cultural 

resources or federally listed threatened or endangered species would be affected, and whether any 

other environmentally sensitive areas are within or abutting the area. All areas shall be clearly 

identified on the maps/sheets/aerial photographs. Each area must be approved in writing by the 

Director of OEP before construction in or near that area. 

 This requirement does not apply to extra workspaces allowed by FGT’s Plan or minor field 

realignments per landowner needs and requirements that do not affect other landowners or 

sensitive environmental areas such as wetlands. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
5-12 

 Examples of alterations requiring approval include all route realignments and facility location 

changes resulting from: 

a. implementation of cultural resources mitigation measures; 

b. implementation of endangered, threatened, or special concern species mitigation 

measures; 

c. recommendations by state regulatory authorities; and 

d. agreements with individual landowners that affect other landowners or could affect 

sensitive environmental areas. 

6. Within 60 days of the acceptance of the certificate and before construction begins, FGT shall 

file an initial Implementation Plan with the Secretary for the review and written approval by the 

Director of OEP. FGT must file revisions to the plan as schedules change. The plan shall 

identify: 

a. how FGT will implement the construction procedures and mitigation measures described 

in its application and supplements (including responses to staff data requests), identified 

in the EIS, and required by the Commission Order; 

b. how FGT will incorporate these requirements into the contract bid documents, 

construction contracts (especially penalty clauses and specifications), and construction 

drawings so that the mitigation required at each site is clear to onsite construction and 

inspection personnel; 

c. the number of EIs assigned per spread and aboveground facility sites, and how the 

company will ensure that sufficient personnel are available to implement the 

environmental mitigation; 

d. company personnel, including EIs and contractors, who will receive copies of the 

appropriate materials; 

e. the training and instructions FGT will give to all personnel involved with construction 

and restoration (initial and refresher training as the Project progresses and personnel 

change), with the opportunity for OEP staff to participate in the training session(s); 

f. the company personnel (if known) and specific portion of FGT’s organization having 

responsibility for compliance; 

g. the procedures (including use of contract penalties) FGT will follow if noncompliance 

occurs; and 

h. for each discrete facility, a Gantt or PERT chart (or similar Project scheduling diagram), 

and dates for: 

(1) the completion of all required surveys and reports; 

(2) the mitigation training of onsite personnel; 

(3) the start of construction; and 

(4) the start and completion of restoration. 

7. FGT shall employ a team of two or more, or as may be established by the Director of OEP, EIs 

per construction spread. The EIs shall be: 

a. responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with all mitigation measures 

required by the Commission Order and other grants, permits, certificates, or authorizing 

documents; 

b. responsible for evaluating the construction contractor’s implementation of the 

environmental mitigation measures required in the contract (see condition 6 above) and 

any other authorizing document; 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
5-13 

c. empowered to order correction of acts that violate the environmental conditions of the 

Order, and any other authorizing document; 

d. a full-time position separate from all other activity inspectors; 

e. responsible for documenting compliance with the environmental conditions of the Order, 

as well as any environmental conditions/permit requirements imposed by other federal, 

state, or local agencies; and 

f. responsible for maintaining status reports. 

8. Beginning with the filing of its initial Implementation Plan, FGT shall file updated status reports 

with the Secretary on a weekly basis until all construction and restoration activities are 

complete. On request, these status reports will also be provided to other federal and state 

agencies with permitting responsibilities. Status reports shall include:

a. an update on FGT’s efforts to obtain the necessary federal authorizations; 

b. the construction status of each spreads work planned for the following reporting period, 

and any schedule changes for stream crossings or work in other environmentally sensitive 

areas; 

c. a listing of all problems encountered and each instance of noncompliance observed by the 

EIs during the reporting period (both for the conditions imposed by the Commission and 

any environmental conditions/permit requirements imposed by other federal, state, or 

local agencies); 

d. a description of the corrective actions implemented in response to all instances of 

noncompliance, and their cost; 

e. the effectiveness of all corrective actions implemented; 

f. a description of any landowner/resident complaints which may relate to compliance with 

the requirements of the Commission Order, and the measures taken to satisfy their 

concerns; and 

g. copies of any correspondence received by FGT from other federal, state or local 

permitting agencies concerning instances of noncompliance, and FGT’s response. 

9. FGT shall develop and implement an environmental complaint resolution procedure for at least 3 

years following the completion of construction. The procedure shall provide landowners with 

clear and simple directions for identifying and resolving their environmental mitigation 

problems/concerns during construction of the Project and restoration of the rights-of-way. Prior 

to construction, FGT shall mail the environmental complaint resolution procedures to each 

landowner whose property would be crossed by the Project. 

a. In its letter to affected landowners, FGT shall: 

(1) provide a local contact that the landowners should call first with their concerns; 

the letter shall indicate how soon a landowner should expect a response; 

(2) instruct the landowners that, if they are not satisfied with the response, they 

should call FGT’s Hotline; the letter shall indicate how soon to expect a 

response; and 

(3) instruct the landowners that, if they are still not satisfied with the response from 

FGT’s Hotline, they should contact the Commission's Enforcement Hotline at 

(888) 889-8030. 

b. In addition, FGT shall include in its weekly status reports a copy of a table that contains 

the following information for each problem/concern: 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009

(1) the identity of the caller and date of the call; 

(2) the identification number from the certificated alignment sheets of the affected 

property and the location by MP; 

(3) a description of the problem/concern; and 

(4) an explanation of how and when the problem was resolved, will be resolved, or 

why it has not been resolved. 

10. FGT must receive written authorization from the Director of OEP before commencing service

from each phase of the Project. Such authorization will only be granted following a 

determination that rehabilitation and restoration of the right-of-way and other areas affected by 

the Project are proceeding satisfactorily. 

11. Within 30 days of placing the Certificated facilities in service, FGT shall file an affirmative 

statement with the Secretary, certified by a senior company official: 

a. that the facilities have been constructed/abandoned in compliance with all applicable 

conditions, and that continuing activities will be consistent with all applicable conditions; 

or 

b. identifying which of the Certificate conditions FGT has complied with or will comply 

with. This statement shall also identify any areas affected by the Project where 

compliance measures were not properly implemented, if not previously identified in filed 

status reports, and the reason for noncompliance. 

12. Prior to construction, FGT shall develop an updated set of pipeline alignment sheets for Loop 5 

in consultation with the USFS that clearly show the proposed new pipeline offset between MP 

417.1A and MP 428.6A from the nearest existing pipeline, and show the width of new land that 

would be required for operation of the proposed new pipeline relative to the existing land utilized 

by FGT, in the ANF. 

13. FGT shall prepare a site-specific construction plan for the property at MP 347.9 to reduce tree

UPLAND EROSION CONTROL, REVEGETATION, 

AND MAINTENANCE PLAN (PLAN)

I. APPLICABILITY 

A. The intent of this Plan is to assist applicants by identifying baseline 

mitigation measures for minimizing erosion and enhancing revegetation. 

The project sponsors should specify in their applications for a FERC 

Certificate (Certificate) any individual measures in this Plan they consider 

unnecessary, technically infeasible, or unsuitable due to local conditions and 

to fully describe any alternative measures they would use. Applicants should 

also explain how those alternative measures would achieve a comparable 

level of mitigation. 

Once a project is certificated, further changes can be approved. Any such 

changes from the measures in this Plan (or the applicant’s approved plan) 

will be approved by the Director of the Office of Energy Projects (Director), 

upon the applicant’s written request, if the Director agrees that an alternative 

measure: 

1. provides equal or better environmental protection; 

2. is necessary because a portion of this Plan is infeasible or unworkable 

based on project-specific conditions; or 

3. is specifically required in writing by another Federal, state, or Native 

American land management agency for the portion of the project on 

its land or under its jurisdiction. 

Any requirements in this Plan to file material with the Secretary of the FERC 

(Secretary) do not apply to projects undertaken under the provisions of the 

blanket certificate program. This exemption does not apply to a request for 

alternative measures. 

Project-related impacts on wetland and waterbody systems are addressed in 

the staff’s Wetland and Waterbody Construction and Mitigation Procedures 

(Procedures). 

II. SUPERVISION AND INSPECTION 

A. ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTION 

1. At least one Environmental Inspector is required for each construction 

spread during construction and restoration (as defined by section V). 

The number and experience of Environmental Inspectors assigned to 

each construction spread should be appropriate for the length of the 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 

2

construction spread and the number/significance of resources 

affected. 

2. Environmental Inspectors shall have peer status with all other activity 

inspectors. 

3. Environmental Inspectors shall have the authority to stop activities 

that violate the environmental conditions of the Certificate, state and 

Federal environmental permit conditions, or landowner requirements; 

and to order appropriate corrective action. 

B. RESPONSIBILITIES OF ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTORS 

At a minimum, the Environmental Inspector(s) shall be responsible for: 

1. Ensuring compliance with the requirements of this Plan, the 

Procedures, the environmental conditions of the Certificate 

authorization, the mitigation measures proposed by the applicant (as 

approved and/or modified by the Certificate), other environmental 

permits and approvals, and environmental requirements in landowner 

easement agreements. 

2. Identifying, documenting, and overseeing corrective actions, as 

necessary to bring an activity back into compliance; 

3. Verifying that the limits of authorized construction work areas and 

locations of access roads are properly marked before clearing; 

4. Verifying the location of signs and highly visible flagging marking the 

boundaries of sensitive resource areas, waterbodies, wetlands, or 

areas with special requirements along the construction work area; 

5. Identifying erosion/sediment control and soil stabilization needs in all 

areas; 

6. Ensuring that the location of dewatering structures and slope breakers 

will not direct water into known cultural resources sites or locations of 

sensitive species; 

7. Verifying that trench dewatering activities do not result in the 

deposition of sand, silt, and/or sediment near the point of discharge 

into a wetland or waterbody. If such deposition is occurring, the 

dewatering activity shall be stopped and the design of the discharge 

shall be changed to prevent reoccurrence; 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 

3

8. Ensuring that subsoil and topsoil are tested in agricultural and 

residential areas to measure compaction and determine the need for 

corrective action; 

9. Advising the Chief Construction Inspector when conditions (such as 

wet weather) make it advisable to restrict construction activities to 

avoid excessive rutting; 

10. Ensuring restoration of contours and topsoil; 

11. Verifying that the soils imported for agricultural or residential use have 

been certified as free of noxious weeds and soil pests, unless 

otherwise approved by the landowner; 

12. Determining the need for and ensuring that erosion controls are 

properly installed, as necessary to prevent sediment flow into 

wetlands, waterbodies, sensitive areas, and onto roads; 

13. Inspecting and ensuring the maintenance of temporary erosion control 

measures at least: 

a. on a daily basis in areas of active construction or equipment 

operation; 

b. on a weekly basis in areas with no construction or equipment 

operation; and 

c. within 24 hours of each 0.5 inch of rainfall; 

14. Ensuring the repair of all ineffective temporary erosion control 

measures within 24 hours of identification; 

15. Keeping records of compliance with the environmental conditions of 

the FERC certificate, and the mitigation measures proposed by the 

project sponsor in the application submitted to the FERC, and other 

Federal or state environmental permits during active construction and 

restoration; and 

16. Identifying areas that should be given special attention to ensure 

stabilization and restoration after the construction phase. 

III. PRECONSTRUCTION PLANNING 

The project sponsor shall do the following before construction: 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 

4

A. CONSTRUCTION WORK AREAS 

1. Identify all construction work areas (e.g., construction right-of-way, 

extra work space areas, pipe storage and contractor yards, borrow 

and disposal areas, access roads, etc.) that would be needed for safe 

construction. The project sponsor must ensure that appropriate 

cultural resources and biological surveys have been conducted. 

2. Project sponsors are encouraged to consider expanding any required 

cultural resources and endangered species surveys in anticipation of 

the need for activities outside of certificated work areas. 

B. DRAIN TILE AND IRRIGATION SYSTEMS 

1. Attempt to locate existing drain tiles and irrigation systems. 

2. Contact landowners and local soil conservation authorities to 

determine the locations of future drain tiles that are likely to be 

installed within 3 years of the authorized construction. 

3. Develop procedures for constructing through drain-tiled areas, 

maintaining irrigation systems during construction, and repairing drain 

tiles and irrigation systems after construction. 

4. Engage qualified drain tile specialists, as needed to conduct or 

monitor repairs to drain tile systems affected by construction. Use 

drain tile specialists from the project area, if available. 

C. GRAZING DEFERMENT 

Develop grazing deferment plans with willing landowners, grazing 

permittees, and land management agencies to minimize grazing disturbance 

of revegetation efforts. 

D. ROAD CROSSINGS AND ACCESS POINTS 

Plan for safe and accessible conditions at all roadway crossings and access 

points during construction and restoration. 

E. DISPOSAL PLANNING 

Determine methods and locations for the disposal of construction debris 

(e.g., timber, slash, mats, garbage, drilling fluids, excess rock, etc). Off-site 

disposal in other than commercially operated disposal locations is subject to 

compliance with all applicable survey, landowner permission, and mitigation 

requirements. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 

5

F. AGENCY COORDINATION 

The project sponsor must coordinate with the appropriate local, state, and 

Federal agencies as outlined in this Plan and in the Certificate. 

1. Obtain written recommendations from the local soil conservation 

authorities or land management agencies regarding permanent 

erosion control and revegetation specifications. 

2. Develop specific procedures in coordination with the appropriate 

agency to prevent the introduction or spread of noxious weeds and 

soil pests resulting from construction and restoration activities. 

G. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 

Make available on each construction spread the Stormwater Pollution 

Prevention Plan prepared for compliance with the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency's National Stormwater Program General Permit 

requirements. 

IV. INSTALLATION 

A. APPROVED AREAS OF DISTURBANCE 

1. Project-related ground disturbance shall be limited to the construction 

right-of-way, extra work space areas, pipe storage yards, borrow and 

disposal areas, access roads, and other areas approved in the 

Certificate. Any project-related ground disturbing activities outside 

these Certificated areas, except those needed to comply with the Plan 

and Procedures (e.g., slope breakers, energy-dissipating devices, 

dewatering structures, drain tile system repairs) will require prior 

Director approval. All construction or restoration activities outside of 

the Certificated areas are subject to all applicable survey and 

mitigation requirements. 

2. The construction right-of-way width for a project shall not exceed 75 

feet or that described in the FERC application unless otherwise 

modified by a Certificate condition. However, in limited, non-wetland 

areas, this construction right-of-way width may be expanded by up to 

25 feet without Director approval to accommodate full construction 

right-of-way topsoil segregation and to ensure safe construction 

where topographic conditions (such as side-slopes) or soil limitations 

require it. Twenty-five feet of extra construction right-of-way width 

may also be used in limited, non-wetland or non-forested areas for 

truck turn-arounds where no reasonable alternative access exists. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 

6

Project use of these additional limited areas is subject to landowner 

approval and compliance with all applicable survey and mitigation 

requirements. When such additional areas are used, each one 

should be identified and the need explained in the weekly or biweekly 

construction reports to the FERC, if required. The following material 

should be included in the reports: 

a. the location of each additional area by station number and 

reference to a previously filed alignment sheet, or updated 

alignment sheets showing the additional areas; 

b. identification of where the Commission's records contain 

evidence that the additional areas were previously surveyed; 

and 

c. a statement that landowner approval has been obtained and is 

available in project files. 

Prior written approval of the Director is required when the Certificated 

construction right-of-way width would be expanded by more than 25 

feet. 

B. TOPSOIL SEGREGATION 

1. Unless the landowner or land management agency specifically 

approves otherwise, prevent the mixing of topsoil with subsoil by 

stripping topsoil from either the full work area or from the trench and 

subsoil storage area (ditch plus spoil side method) in: 

a. actively cultivated or rotated croplands and pastures ; 

b. residential areas; 

c. hayfields; and 

d. other areas at the landowner's or land managing agency’s 

request. 

2. In residential areas importation of topsoil is an acceptable alternative 

to topsoil segregation. 

3. In deep soils (more than 12 inches of topsoil), segregate at least 12 

inches of topsoil. In soils with less than 12 inches of topsoil make 

every effort to segregate the entire topsoil layer. 

4. Where topsoil segregation is required, maintain separation of 

salvaged topsoil and subsoil throughout all construction activities. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 

7

5. Segregated topsoil may not be used for padding the pipe. 

C. DRAIN TILES 

1. Mark locations of drain tiles damaged during construction. 

2. Probe all drainage tile systems within the area of disturbance to check 

for damage. 

3. Repair damaged drain tiles to their original or better condition. Do not 

use filter-covered drain tiles unless the local soil conservation 

authorities and the landowner agree. Use qualified specialists for 

testing and repairs. 

4. For new pipelines in areas where drain tiles exist or are planned, 

ensure that the depth of cover over the pipeline is sufficient to avoid 

interference with drain tile systems. For adjacent pipeline loops in 

agricultural areas, install the new pipeline with at least the same depth 

of cover as the existing pipeline(s). 

D. IRRIGATION 

Maintain water flow in crop irrigation systems, unless shutoff is coordinated 

with affected parties. 

E. ROAD CROSSINGS AND ACCESS POINTS 

1. Maintain safe and accessible conditions at all road crossings and 

access points during construction. 

2. If crushed stone access pads are used in residential or active 

agricultural areas, place the stone on synthetic fabric to facilitate 

removal. 

F. TEMPORARY EROSION CONTROL 

Install temporary erosion controls immediately after initial disturbance of the 

soil. Temporary erosion controls must be properly maintained throughout 

construction (on a daily basis) and reinstalled as necessary (such as after 

backfilling of the trench) until replaced by permanent erosion controls or 

restoration is complete. 

1. Temporary Slope Breakers 

a. Temporary slope breakers are intended to reduce runoff 

velocity and divert water off the construction right-of-way. 

Temporary slope breakers may be constructed of materials 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 

8

such as soil, silt fence, staked hay or straw bales, or sand 

bags. 

b. Install temporary slope breakers on all disturbed areas, as 

necessary to avoid excessive erosion. Temporary slope 

breakers must be installed on slopes greater than 5 percent 

where the base of the slope is less than 50 feet from 

waterbody, wetland, and road crossings at the following 

spacing (closer spacing should be used if necessary): 

 Slope (%) Spacing (feet)

 5 - 15 300 

 >15 - 30 200 

 >30 100 

c. Direct the outfall of each temporary slope breaker to a stable, 

well vegetated area or construct an energy-dissipating device at 

the end of the slope breaker and off the construction right-ofway. 

d. Position the outfall of each temporary slope breaker to prevent 

sediment discharge into wetlands, waterbodies, or other 

sensitive resources. 

2. Sediment Barriers 

a. Sediment barriers are intended to stop the flow of sediments 

and to prevent the deposition of sediments into sensitive 

resources. They may be constructed of materials such as silt 

fence, staked hay or straw bales, compacted earth (e.g., 

driveable berms across travelways), sand bags, or other 

appropriate materials. 

b. At a minimum, install and maintain temporary sediment barriers 

across the entire construction right-of-way at the base of slopes 

greater than 5 percent where the base of the slope is less than 

50 feet from a waterbody, wetland, or road crossing until 

revegetation is successful as defined in this Plan. Leave 

adequate room between the base of the slope and the 

sediment barrier to accommodate ponding of water and 

sediment deposition. 

c. Where wetlands or waterbodies are adjacent to and downslope 

of construction work areas, install sediment barriers along the 

edge of these areas, as necessary to prevent sediment flow 

into the wetland or waterbody.

3. Mulch 

a. Apply mulch on all slopes (except in actively cultivated 

cropland) concurrent with or immediately after seeding, where 

necessary to stabilize the soil surface and to reduce wind and 

water erosion. Spread mulch uniformly over the area to cover 

at least 75 percent of the ground surface at a rate of 2 

tons/acre of straw or its equivalent, unless the local soil 

conservation authority, landowner, or land managing agency 

approves otherwise in writing. 

b. Mulch can consist of weed-free straw or hay, wood fiber 

hydromulch, erosion control fabric, or some functional 

equivalent. 

c. Mulch before seeding if: 

(1) final grading and installation of permanent erosion 

control measures, will not be completed in an area 

within 20 days after the trench in that area is backfilled 

(10 days in residential areas), as required in 

section V.A.1; or 

(2) construction or restoration activity is interrupted for 

extended periods, such as when seeding cannot be 

completed due to seeding period restrictions. 

d. If mulching before seeding, increase mulch application on all 

slopes within 100 feet of waterbodies and wetlands to a rate of 

3 tons/acre of straw or equivalent. 

e. If wood chips are used as mulch, do not use more than 

1 ton/acre and add the equivalent of 11 lbs/acre available 

nitrogen (at least 50 percent of which is slow release). 

f. Ensure that mulch is adequately anchored to minimize loss due 

to wind and water. 

g. When anchoring with liquid mulch binders, use rates 

recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use liquid mulch 

binders within 100 feet of wetlands or waterbodies. 

h. Install erosion control fabric on waterbody banks at the time of

V. RESTORATION 

A. CLEANUP 

1. Commence cleanup operations immediately following backfill 

operations. Complete final grading, topsoil replacement, and 

installation of permanent erosion control structures within 20 days 

after backfilling the trench (10 days in residential areas). If seasonal 

or other weather conditions prevent compliance with these time 

frames, maintain temporary erosion controls (temporary slope 

breakers and sediment barriers) until conditions allow completion of 

cleanup. 

The project sponsor should file with the Secretary for the review and 

written approval of the Director, a winterization plan if construction will 

continue into the winter season when conditions could delay 

successful decompaction, topsoil replacement, or seeding until the 

following spring. 

2. A travel lane may be left open temporarily to allow access by 

construction traffic if the temporary erosion control structures are 

installed as specified in section IV.F and inspected and maintained as 

specified in sections II.B.12 through 14. When access is no longer 

required the travel lane must be removed and the right-of-way 

restored. 

3. Rock excavated from the trench may be used to backfill the trench 

only to the top of the existing bedrock profile. Rock that is not 

returned to the trench should be considered construction debris, 

unless approved for use as mulch or for some other use on the 

construction work areas by the landowner or land managing agency. 

4. Remove excess rock from at least the top 12 inches of soil in all 

actively cultivated or rotated cropland and pastures, hayfields, and 

residential areas, as well as other areas at the landowner's request. 

The size, density, and distribution of rock on the construction work 

area should be similar to adjacent areas not disturbed by construction. 

 The landowner may approve other provisions in writing. 

5. Grade the construction right-of-way to restore pre-construction 

contours and leave the soil in the proper condition for planting. 

6. Remove construction debris from all construction work areas unless 

the landowner or land managing agency approves otherwise. 

7. Remove temporary sediment barriers when replaced by permanent 

erosion control measures or when revegetation is successful.

B. PERMANENT EROSION CONTROL DEVICES 

1. Trench Breakers 

a. Trench breakers are intended to slow the flow of subsurface 

water along the trench. Trench breakers may be constructed of 

materials such as sand bags or polyurethane foam. Do not use 

topsoil in trench breakers. 

b. An engineer or similarly qualified professional shall determine 

the need for and spacing of trench breakers. Otherwise, trench 

breakers shall be installed at the same spacing as and upslope 

of permanent slope breakers. 

c. In agricultural fields and residential areas where slope breakers 

are not typically required, install trench breakers at the same 

spacing as if permanent slope breakers were required. 

d. At a minimum, install a trench breaker at the base of slopes 

greater than 5 percent where the base of the slope is less than 

50 feet from a waterbody or wetland and where needed to 

avoid draining a waterbody or wetland. 

2. Permanent Slope Breakers 

a. Permanent slope breakers are intended to reduce runoff 

velocity, divert water off the construction right-of-way, and 

prevent sediment deposition into sensitive resources. 

Permanent slope breakers may be constructed of materials 

such as soil, sand bags, or some functional equivalent. 

b. Construct and maintain permanent slope breakers in all areas, 

except cultivated areas and lawns, using spacing 

recommendations obtained from the local soil conservation 

authority or land managing agency. 

In the absence of written recommendations, use the following 

spacing unless closer spacing is necessary to avoid excessive 

erosion on the construction right-of-way: 

 Slope (%) Spacing (feet)

 5 - 15 300 

 >15 - 30 200 

 >30 100 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 

12

c. Construct slope breakers to divert surface flow to a stable area 

without causing water to pool or erode behind the breaker. In 

the absence of a stable area, construct appropriate energydissipating devices at the end of the breaker. 

d. Slope breakers may extend slightly (about 4 feet) beyond the 

edge of the construction right-of-way to effectively drain water 

off the disturbed area. Where slope breakers extend beyond 

the edge of the construction right-of-way, they are subject to 

compliance with all applicable survey requirements. 

C. SOIL COMPACTION MITIGATION 

1. Test topsoil and subsoil for compaction at regular intervals in 

agricultural and residential areas disturbed by construction activities. 

Conduct tests on the same soil type under similar moisture conditions 

in undisturbed areas to approximate preconstruction conditions. Use 

penetrometers or other appropriate devices to conduct tests. 

2. Plow severely compacted agricultural areas with a paraplow or other 

deep tillage implement. In areas where topsoil has been segregated, 

plow the subsoil before replacing the segregated topsoil. 

Alternatively, make arrangements with the landowner to plant and 

plow under a "green manure" crop, such as alfalfa, to decrease soil 

bulk density and improve soil structure. If subsequent construction 

and cleanup activities result in further compaction, conduct additional 

tilling. 

3. Perform appropriate soil compaction mitigation in severely compacted 

residential areas. 

D. REVEGETATION 

1. General 

a. The project sponsor is responsible for ensuring successful 

revegetation of soils disturbed by project-related activities, 

except as noted in section V.D.1.b. 

b. Restore all turf, ornamental shrubs, and specialized 

landscaping in accordance with the landowner's request, or 

compensate the landowner. Restoration work must be 

performed by personnel familiar with local horticultural and turf 

establishment practices. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 

13

2. Soil Additives 

Fertilize and add soil pH modifiers in accordance with written 

recommendations obtained from the local soil conservation authority, 

land management agencies, or landowner. Incorporate 

recommended soil pH modifier and fertilizer into the top 2 inches of 

soil as soon as possible after application. 

3. Seeding Requirements 

a. Prepare a seedbed in disturbed areas to a depth of 3 to 4 

inches using appropriate equipment to provide a firm seedbed. 

 When hydroseeding, scarify the seedbed to facilitate lodging 

and germination of seed. 

b. Seed disturbed areas in accordance with written 

recommendations for seed mixes, rates, and dates obtained 

from the local soil conservation authority or the request of the 

landowner or land management agency. Seeding is not 

required in actively cultivated croplands unless requested by 

the landowner. 

c. Perform seeding of permanent vegetation within the 

recommended seeding dates. If seeding cannot be done within 

those dates, use appropriate temporary erosion control 

measures discussed in section IV.F. and perform seeding of 

permanent vegetation at the beginning of the next 

recommended seeding season. Lawns may be seeded on a 

schedule established with the landowner. 

d. In the absence of written recommendations from the local soil 

conservation authorities, seed all disturbed soils within 6 

working days of final grading, weather and soil conditions 

permitting, subject to the specifications in section V.D.3.a-c. 

e. Base seeding rates on Pure Live Seed. Use seed within 12 

months of seed testing. 

f. Treat legume seed with an inoculant specific to the species 

using the manufacturer’s recommended rate of inoculant 

appropriate for the seeding method (broadcast, drill, or hydro). 

g. In the absence of written recommendations from the local soil 

conservation authorities, landowner, or land managing agency 

to the contrary, a seed drill equipped with a cultipacker is 

preferred for seed application. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 

14

Broadcast or hydroseeding can be used in lieu of drilling at 

double the recommended seeding rates. Where seed is 

broadcast, firm the seedbed with a cultipacker or roller after 

seeding. In rocky soils or where site conditions may limit the 

effectiveness of this equipment, other alternatives may be 

appropriate (e.g., use of a chain drag) to lightly cover seed after 

application, as approved by the Environmental Inspector. 

VI. OFF-ROAD VEHICLE CONTROL 

To each owner or manager of forested lands offer to install and maintain measures 

to control unauthorized vehicle access to the right-of-way. These measures may 

include: 

A. Signs; 

B. Fences with locking gates; 

C. Slash and timber barriers, pipe barriers, or a line of boulders across the rightof-way; and 

D. Conifers or other appropriate trees or shrubs across the right-of-way. 

VII. POST-CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES 

A. MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE 

1. Conduct follow-up inspections of all disturbed areas after the first and 

second growing seasons to determine the success of revegetation. 

2. Revegetation in non-agricultural areas shall be considered successful 

if upon visual survey the density and cover of non-nuisance vegetation 

are similar in density and cover to adjacent undisturbed lands. In 

agricultural areas, revegetation shall be considered successful if crop 

yields are similar to adjacent undisturbed portions of the same field. 

Continue revegetation efforts until revegetation is successful. 

3. Monitor and correct problems with drainage and irrigation systems 

resulting from pipeline construction in active agricultural areas until 

restoration is successful. 

4. Restoration shall be considered successful if the right-of-way surface 

condition is similar to adjacent undisturbed lands, construction debris 

is removed (unless requested otherwise by the land owner or land 

managing agency), revegetation is successful, and proper drainage 

has been restored.

5. Routine vegetation maintenance clearing shall not be done more 

frequently than every 3 years. However, to facilitate periodic corrosion 

and leak surveys, a corridor not exceeding 10 feet in width centered 

on the pipeline may be maintained annually in a herbaceous state. In 

no case shall routine vegetation maintenance clearing occur between 

April 15 and August 1 of any year. 

6. Efforts to control unauthorized off-road vehicle use, in cooperation 

with the landowner, shall continue throughout the life of the project. 

Maintain signs, gates, and vehicle trails as necessary. 

B. REPORTING 

1. The project sponsor shall maintain records that identify by milepost: 

a. method of application, application rate, and type of fertilizer, pH 

modifying agent, seed, and mulch used; 

b. acreage treated; 

c. dates of backfilling and seeding; 

d. names of landowners requesting special seeding treatment and 

a description of the follow-up actions; and 

e. any problem areas and how they were addressed. 

2. The project sponsor shall file with the Secretary quarterly activity 

reports documenting problems, including those identified by the 

landowner, and corrective actions taken for at least 2 years following 

construction.

WETLAND AND WATERBODY CONSTRUCTION AND MITIGATION PROCEDURES 

(PROCEDURES)

I. APPLICABILITY 

A. INTENT 

 The intent of these Procedures is to assist applicants by identifying baseline 

mitigation measures for minimizing the extent and duration of project-related 

disturbance on wetlands and waterbodies. The project sponsors should 

specify in their applications for a FERC Certificate (Certificate) any individual 

measures in these Procedures they consider unnecessary, technically 

infeasible, or unsuitable due to local conditions and to fully describe any 

alternative measures they would use. Applicants should also explain how 

those alternative measures would achieve a comparable level of mitigation. 

Once a project is certificated, further changes can be approved. Any such 

changes from the measures in these Procedures (or the applicant’s 

approved procedures) will be approved by the Director of the Office of 

Energy Projects (Director), upon the applicant’s written request, if the 

Director agrees that an alternative measure: 

1. provides equal or better environmental protection; 

2. is necessary because a portion of these Procedures is infeasible or 

unworkable based on project-specific conditions; or 

3. is specifically required in writing by another Federal, state, or Native 

American land management agency for the portion of the project on 

its land or under its jurisdiction. 

Any requirements in these Procedures to file material with the Secretary of 

the FERC (Secretary) do not apply to projects undertaken under the 

provisions of the blanket certificate program. This exemption does not apply 

to a request for alternative measures. 

Table 1 identifies modifications and clarifications requested by Company.

Project-related impacts on non-wetland areas are addressed in the Upland 

Erosion Control, Revegetation, and Maintenance Plan (Plan). 

B. DEFINITIONS 

1. "Waterbody" includes any natural or artificial stream, river, or drainage 

with perceptible flow at the time of crossing, and other permanent 

waterbodies such as ponds and lakes: 

a. "minor waterbody" includes all waterbodies less than or equal 

to 10 feet wide at the water's edge at the time of construction; 

b. "intermediate waterbody" includes all waterbodies greater than 

10 feet wide but less than or equal to 100 feet wide at the 

water's edge at the time of construction; and 

c. "major waterbody" includes all waterbodies greater than 

100 feet wide at the water's edge at the time of construction. 

2. "Wetland" includes any area that is not in actively cultivated or rotated 

cropland and that satisfies the requirements of the current Federal 

methodology for identifying and delineating wetlands. 

 

II. PRECONSTRUCTION FILING 

A. The following information shall be filed with the Secretary prior to the 

beginning of construction: 

1. the hydrostatic testing information specified in section VII.B.3. and a 

wetland delineation report as described in section VI.A.1., if 

applicable; and 

2. a schedule identifying when trenching or blasting would occur within 

each waterbody greater than 10 feet wide, or within any designated 

coldwater fishery. The project sponsor shall revise the schedule as 

necessary to provide FERC staff at least 14 days advance notice. 

Changes within this last 14-day period must provide for at least 

48 hours advance notice. 

B. The following site-specific construction plans required by these Procedures 

must be filed with the Secretary for the review and written approval by the 

Director: 

1. plans for extra work areas that would be closer than 50 feet from a 

waterbody or wetland; 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 3 

2. plans for major waterbody crossings; 

3. plans for the use of a construction right-of-way greater than 75 feet 

wide in wetlands; and 

4. plans for horizontal directional drill (HDD) "crossings" of wetlands or 

waterbodies. 

III. ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTORS 

A. At least one Environmental Inspector having knowledge of the wetland and 

waterbody conditions in the project area is required for each construction 

spread. The number and experience of Environmental Inspectors assigned 

to each construction spread should be appropriate for the length of the 

construction spread and the number/significance of resources affected. 

B. The Environmental Inspector's responsibilities are outlined in the Upland 

Erosion Control, Revegetation, and Maintenance Plan (Plan). 

IV. PRECONSTRUCTION PLANNING 

A. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN 

 A copy of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) prepared for 

compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National 

Stormwater Program General Permit requirements must be available in the 

field on each construction spread. The SWPPP shall contain Spill 

Prevention and Response Procedures that meet the requirements of state 

and Federal agencies. 

1. It shall be the responsibility of the project sponsor and its contractors 

to structure their operations in a manner that reduces the risk of spills 

or the accidental exposure of fuels or hazardous materials to 

waterbodies or wetlands. The project sponsor and its contractors 

must, at a minimum, ensure that: 

a. all employees handling fuels and other hazardous materials are 

properly trained; 

b. all equipment is in good operating order and inspected on a 

regular basis; 

c. fuel trucks transporting fuel to on-site equipment travel only on 

approved access roads; 

d. all equipment is parked overnight and/or fueled at least 

100 feet from a waterbody or in an upland area at least 

100 feet from a wetland boundary. These activities can occur 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 4 

closer only if the Environmental Inspector finds, in advance, no 

reasonable alternative and the project sponsor and its 

contractors have taken appropriate steps (including secondary 

containment structures) to prevent spills and provide for prompt 

cleanup in the event of a spill; 

e. hazardous materials, including chemicals, fuels, and lubricating 

oils, are not stored within 100 feet of a wetland, waterbody, or 

designated municipal watershed area, unless the location is 

designated for such use by an appropriate governmental 

authority. This applies to storage of these materials and does 

not apply to normal operation or use of equipment in these 

areas; and 

f. concrete coating activities are not performed within 100 feet of 

a wetland or waterbody boundary, unless the location is an 

existing industrial site designated for such use. 

2. The project sponsor and its contractors must structure their operations 

in a manner that provides for the prompt and effective cleanup of 

spills of fuel and other hazardous materials. At a minimum, the 

project sponsor and its contractors must: 

a. ensure that each construction crew (including cleanup crews) 

has on hand sufficient supplies of absorbent and barrier 

materials to allow the rapid containment and recovery of spilled 

materials and knows the procedure for reporting spills; 

b. ensure that each construction crew has on hand sufficient tools 

and material to stop leaks; 

c. know the contact names and telephone numbers for all local, 

state, and Federal agencies (including, if necessary, the U. S. 

Coast Guard and the National Response Center) that must be 

notified of a spill; and 

d. follow the requirements of those agencies in cleaning up the 

spill, in excavating and disposing of soils or other materials 

contaminated by a spill, and in collecting and disposing of 

waste generated during spill cleanup. 

B. AGENCY COORDINATION 

The project sponsor must coordinate with the appropriate local, state, and 

Federal agencies as outlined in these Procedures and in the Certificate.

V. WATERBODY CROSSINGS 

A. NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES AND PERMITS 

1. Apply to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), or its delegated 

agency, for the appropriate wetland and waterbody crossing permits. 

2. Provide written notification to authorities responsible for potable 

surface water supply intakes located within 3 miles downstream of the 

crossing at least 1 week before beginning work in the waterbody, or 

as otherwise specified by that authority. 

3. Apply for state-issued waterbody crossing permits and obtain 

individual or generic section 401 water quality certification or waiver. 

4. Notify appropriate state authorities at least 48 hours before beginning 

trenching or blasting within the waterbody, or as specified in state 

permits. 

B. INSTALLATION 

1. Time Window for Construction 

Unless expressly permitted or further restricted by the appropriate 

state agency in writing on a site-specific basis, instream work, except 

that required to install or remove equipment bridges, must occur 

during the following time windows: 

a. coldwater fisheries - June 1 through September 30; and 

b. coolwater and warmwater fisheries - June 1 through 

November 30. 

2. Extra Work Areas 

a. Locate all extra work areas (such as staging areas and 

additional spoil storage areas) at least 50 feet away from 

water’s edge, except where the adjacent upland consists of 

actively cultivated or rotated cropland or other disturbed land. 

b. The project sponsor shall file with the Secretary for review and 

written approval by the Director, a site-specific construction 

plan for each extra work area with a less than 50-foot setback 

from the water's edge, (except where the adjacent upland 

consists of actively cultivated or rotated cropland or other 

disturbed land) and a site-specific explanation of the conditions 

that will not permit a 50-foot setback. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 6 

c. Limit clearing of vegetation between extra work areas and the 

edge of the waterbody to the certificated construction right-ofway. 

d. Limit the size of extra work areas to the minimum needed to 

construct the waterbody crossing. 

3. General Crossing Procedures 

a. Comply with the COE, or its delegated agency, permit terms 

and conditions. 

b. Construct crossings as close to perpendicular to the axis of the 

waterbody channel as engineering and routing conditions 

permit. 

c. If the pipeline parallels a waterbody, attempt to maintain at 

least 15 feet of undisturbed vegetation between the waterbody 

(and any adjacent wetland) and the construction right-of-way. 

d. Where waterbodies meander or have multiple channels, route 

the pipeline to minimize the number of waterbody crossings. 

e. Maintain adequate flow rates to protect aquatic life, and 

prevent the interruption of existing downstream uses. 

f. Waterbody buffers (extra work area setbacks, refueling 

restrictions, etc.) must be clearly marked in the field with signs 

and/or highly visible flagging until construction-related ground 

disturbing activities are complete. 

4. Spoil Pile Placement and Control 

a. All spoil from minor and intermediate waterbody crossings, and 

upland spoil from major waterbody crossings, must be placed 

in the construction right-of-way at least 10 feet from the water's 

edge or in additional extra work areas as described in 

section V.B.2. 

b. Use sediment barriers to prevent the flow of spoil or heavily siltladen water into any waterbody. 

5. Equipment Bridges 

a. Only clearing equipment and equipment necessary for 

installation of equipment bridges may cross waterbodies prior 

to bridge installation. Limit the number of such crossings of 

each waterbody to one per piece of clearing equipment. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 7 

b. Construct equipment bridges to maintain unrestricted flow and 

to prevent soil, unless bridge is within a contained area, from 

entering the waterbody. Examples of such bridges include: 

(1) equipment pads and culvert(s); 

(2) equipment pads or railroad car bridges without culverts; 

(3) clean rock fill and culvert(s); and 

(4) flexi-float or portable bridges. 

Additional options for equipment bridges may be utilized that 

achieve the performance objectives noted above. Do not use 

soil to construct or stabilize equipment bridges. 

c. Design and maintain each equipment bridge to withstand and 

pass the highest flow expected to occur while the bridge is in 

place. Align culverts to prevent bank erosion or streambed 

scour. If necessary, install energy dissipating devices 

downstream of the culverts. 

d. Design and maintain equipment bridges to prevent soil from 

entering the waterbody. 

e. Remove equipment bridges as soon as possible after 

permanent seeding unless the COE, or its delegated agency, 

authorizes it as a permanent bridge. 

f. If there will be more than 1 month between final cleanup and 

the beginning of permanent seeding and reasonable alternative 

access to the right-of-way is available, remove equipment 

bridges as soon as possible after final cleanup. 

6. Dry-Ditch Crossing Methods 

a. Unless approved otherwise by the appropriate state agency, 

install the pipeline using one of the dry-ditch methods outlined 

below for crossings of waterbodies up to 30 feet wide (at the 

water's edge at the time of construction) that are statedesignated as either coldwater or significant coolwater or 

warmwater fisheries. 

b. Dam and Pump 

(1) The dam-and-pump method may be used without prior 

approval for crossings of waterbodies where pumps can 

adequately transfer streamflow volumes around the work 

area, and there are no concerns about sensitive species 

passage. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 8 

(2) Implementation of the dam-and-pump crossing method 

must meet the following performance criteria: 

(I) use sufficient pumps, including on-site backup 

pumps, to maintain downstream flows; 

(ii) construct dams with materials that prevent 

sediment and other pollutants from entering the 

waterbody (e.g., sandbags or clean gravel with 

plastic liner); 

(iii) screen pump intakes; 

(iv) prevent streambed scour at pump discharge; and 

(v) monitor the dam and pumps to ensure proper 

operation throughout the waterbody crossing. 

c. Flume Crossing 

The flume crossing method requires implementation of the 

following steps: 

(1) install flume pipe after blasting (if necessary), but before 

any trenching; 

(2) use sand bag or sand bag and plastic sheeting diversion 

structure or equivalent to develop an effective seal and 

to divert stream flow through the flume pipe (some 

modifications to the stream bottom may be required in to 

achieve an effective seal); 

(3) properly align flume pipe(s) to prevent bank erosion and 

streambed scour; 

(4) do not remove flume pipe during trenching, pipelaying, 

or backfilling activities, or initial streambed restoration 

efforts; and 

(5) remove all flume pipes and dams that are not also part 

of the equipment bridge as soon as final cleanup of the 

stream bed and bank is complete. 

d. Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) 

To the extent they were not provided as part of the precertification process, for each waterbody or wetland that would 

be crossed using the HDD method, provide a plan that 

includes: 

(1) site-specific construction diagrams that show the 

location of mud pits, pipe assembly areas, and all areas 

to be disturbed or cleared for construction; 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 9 

(2) a description of how an inadvertent release of drilling 

mud would be contained and cleaned up; and 

(3) a contingency plan for crossing the waterbody or 

wetland in the event the directional drill is unsuccessful 

and how the abandoned drill hole would be sealed, if 

necessary. 

7. Crossings of Minor Waterbodies 

Where a dry-ditch crossing is not required, minor waterbodies may be 

crossed using the open-cut crossing method, with the following 

restrictions: 

a. except for blasting and other rock breaking measures, 

complete instream construction activities (including trenching, 

pipe installation, backfill, and restoration of the streambed 

contours) within 24 hours. Streambanks and unconsolidated 

streambeds may require additional restoration after this period; 

b. limit use of equipment operating in the waterbody to that 

needed to construct the crossing; and 

c. equipment bridges are not required at minor waterbodies that 

do not have a state-designated fishery classification (e.g., 

agricultural or intermittent drainage ditches). However, if an 

equipment bridge is used it must be constructed as described 

in section V.B.5. 

8. Crossings of Intermediate Waterbodies 

Where a dry-ditch crossing is not required, intermediate waterbodies 

may be crossed using the open-cut crossing method, with the 

following restrictions: 

a. complete instream construction activities (not including blasting 

and other rock breaking measures) within 48 hours, unless 

site-specific conditions make completion within 48 hours 

infeasible; 

b. limit use of equipment operating in the waterbody to that 

needed to construct the crossing; and 

c. all other construction equipment must cross on an equipment 

bridge as specified in section V.B.5. 

9. Crossings of Major Waterbodies 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 10 

Before construction, the project sponsor shall file with the Secretary 

for the review and written approval by the Director a detailed, sitespecific construction plan and scaled drawings identifying all areas to 

be disturbed by construction for each major waterbody crossing (the 

scaled drawings are not required for any offshore portions of pipeline 

projects). This plan should be developed in consultation with the 

appropriate state and Federal agencies and should include extra work 

areas, spoil storage areas, sediment control structures, etc., as well 

as mitigation for navigational issues. 

The Environmental Inspector may adjust the final placement of the 

erosion and sediment control structures in the field to maximize 

effectiveness. 

10. Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control 

Install sediment barriers (as defined in section IV.F.2.a. of the Plan) 

immediately after initial disturbance of the waterbody or adjacent 

upland. Sediment barriers must be properly maintained throughout 

construction and reinstalled as necessary (such as after backfilling of 

the trench) until replaced by permanent erosion controls or restoration 

of adjacent upland areas is complete. Temporary erosion and 

sediment control measures are addressed in more detail in the Plan; 

however, the following specific measures must be implemented at 

stream crossings: 

a. install sediment barriers across the entire construction right-ofway at all waterbody crossings, where necessary to prevent the 

flow of sediments into the waterbody. Removable sediment 

barriers (or driveable berms) must be installed across the travel 

lane. These removable sediment barriers can be removed 

during the construction day, but must be re-installed after 

construction has stopped for the day and/or when heavy 

precipitation is imminent; 

b. where waterbodies are adjacent to the construction right-ofway, install sediment barriers along the edge of the 

construction right-of-way as necessary to contain spoil and 

sediment within the construction right-of-way; and 

c. use trench plugs at all waterbody crossings, as necessary, to 

prevent diversion of water into upland portions of the pipeline 

trench and to keep any accumulated trench water out of the 

waterbody. 

11. Trench Dewatering 

Dewater the trench (either on or off the construction right-of-way) in a 

manner that does not cause erosion and does not result in heavily siltDocument Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 11 

laden water flowing into any waterbody. Remove the dewatering 

structures as soon as possible after the completion of dewatering 

activities. 

C. RESTORATION 

1. Use clean gravel or native cobbles for the upper 1 foot of trench 

backfill in all waterbodies that contain coldwater fisheries. 

2. For open-cut crossings, stabilize waterbody banks and install 

temporary sediment barriers within 24 hours of completing instream 

construction activities. For dry-ditch crossings, complete streambed 

and bank stabilization before returning flow to the waterbody channel. 

3. Return all waterbody banks to preconstruction contours or to a stable 

angle of repose as approved by the Environmental Inspector. 

4. Application of riprap for bank stabilization must comply with COE, or 

its delegated agency, permit terms and conditions. 

5. Unless otherwise specified by state permit, limit the use of riprap to 

areas where flow conditions preclude effective vegetative stabilization 

techniques such as seeding and erosion control fabric. 

6. Revegetate disturbed riparian areas with conservation grasses and 

legumes or native plant species, preferably woody species. 

7. Install a permanent slope breaker across the construction right-of-way 

at the base of slopes greater than 5 percent that are less than 50 feet 

from the waterbody, or as needed to prevent sediment transport into 

the waterbody. In addition, install sediment barriers as outlined in the 

Plan. 

In some areas, with the approval of the Environmental Inspector, an 

earthen berm may be suitable as a sediment barrier adjacent to the 

waterbody. 

8. Sections V.C.3. through V.C.6. above also apply to those perennial or 

intermittent streams not flowing at the time of construction. 

D. POST-CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE 

1. Limit vegetation maintenance adjacent to waterbodies to allow a 

riparian strip at least 25 feet wide, as measured from the waterbody's 

mean high water mark, to permanently revegetate with native plant 

species across the entire construction right-of-way. However, to 

facilitate periodic pipeline corrosion/leak surveys, a corridor centered 

on the pipeline and up to 10 feet wide may be maintained in a 

herbaceous state. In addition, trees that are located within 15 feet of 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 12 

the pipeline that are greater than 15 feet in height may be cut and 

removed from the permanent right-of-way. 

2. Do not use herbicides or pesticides in or within 100 feet of a 

waterbody except as allowed by the appropriate land management or 

state agency. 

VI. WETLAND CROSSINGS 

A. GENERAL 

1. The project sponsor shall conduct a wetland delineation using the 

current Federal methodology and file a wetland delineation report1 

with the Secretary before construction. This report shall identify: 

a. by milepost all wetlands that would be affected; 

b. the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) classification for each 

wetland; 

c. the crossing length of each wetland in feet; and 

d. the area of permanent and temporary disturbance that would 

occur in each wetland by NWI classification type. 

The requirements outlined in this section do not apply to wetlands in 

actively cultivated or rotated cropland. Standard upland protective 

measures, including workspace and topsoiling requirements, apply to 

these agricultural wetlands. 

2. Route the pipeline to avoid wetland areas to the maximum extent 

possible. If a wetland cannot be avoided or crossed by following an 

existing right-of-way, route the new pipeline in a manner that 

minimizes disturbance to wetlands. Where looping an existing 

pipeline, overlap the existing pipeline right-of-way with the new 

construction right-of-way. In addition, locate the loop line no more 

than 25 feet away from the existing pipeline unless site-specific 

constraints would adversely affect the stability of the existing pipeline. 

3. Limit the width of the construction right-of-way to 75 feet or less. Prior 

written approval of the Director is required where topographic 

conditions or soil limitations require that the construction right-of-way 

width within the boundaries of a federally delineated wetland be 

expanded beyond 75 feet. Early in the planning process the project 

sponsor is encouraged to identify site-specific areas where existing 

 

1 Filing of the wetland delineation report will occur as part of the 404/401 Application(s) a copy of which will be filed 

with the FERC. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 13 

soils lack adequate unconfined compressive strength that would result 

in excessively wide ditches and/or difficult to contain spoil piles. 

4. Wetland boundaries and buffers must be clearly marked in the field 

with signs and/or highly visible flagging until construction-related 

ground disturbing activities are complete. 

5. Implement the measures of sections V. and VI. in the event a 

waterbody crossing is located within or adjacent to a wetland crossing. 

If all measures of sections V. and VI. cannot be met, the project 

sponsor must file with the Secretary a site-specific crossing plan for 

review and written approval by the Director before construction. This 

crossing plan shall address at a minimum: 

a. spoil control; 

b. equipment bridges; 

c. restoration of waterbody banks and wetland hydrology; 

d. timing of the waterbody crossing; 

e. method of crossing; and 

f. size and location of all extra work areas. 

6. Do not locate aboveground facilities in any wetland, except where the 

location of such facilities outside of wetlands would prohibit 

compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations. 

B. INSTALLATION 

1. Extra Work Areas and Access Roads 

a. Locate all extra work areas (such as staging areas and 

additional spoil storage areas) at least 50 feet away from 

wetland boundaries, except where the adjacent upland consists 

of actively cultivated or rotated cropland or other disturbed 

land. 

b. The project sponsor shall file with the Secretary for review and 

written approval by the Director, a site-specific construction 

plan for each extra work area with a less than 50-foot setback 

from wetland boundaries (except where adjacent upland 

consists of actively cultivated or rotated cropland or other 

disturbed land) and a site-specific explanation of the conditions 

that will not permit a 50-foot setback. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 14 

c. Limit clearing of vegetation between extra work areas and the 

edge of the wetland to the certificated construction right-of-way. 

d. The construction right-of-way may be used for access when the 

wetland soil is firm enough to avoid rutting or the construction 

right-of-way has been appropriately stabilized to avoid rutting 

(e.g., with timber riprap, prefabricated equipment mats, or terra 

mats). 

In wetlands that cannot be appropriately stabilized, all 

construction equipment other than that needed to install the 

wetland crossing shall use access roads located in upland 

areas. Where access roads in upland areas do not provide 

reasonable access, limit all other construction equipment to 

one pass through the wetland using the construction right-ofway. 

e. The only access roads, other than the construction right-ofway, that can be used in wetlands without Director approval, 

are those existing roads that can be used with no modification 

and no impact on the wetland. 

2. Crossing Procedures 

a. Comply with COE, or its delegated agency, permit terms and 

conditions 

b. Assemble the pipeline in an upland area unless the wetland is 

dry enough to adequately support skids and pipe. 

c. Use "push-pull" or "float" techniques to place the pipe in the 

trench where water and other site conditions allow. 

d. Minimize the length of time that topsoil is segregated and the 

trench is open. 

e. Limit construction equipment operating in wetland areas to that 

needed to clear the construction right-of-way, dig the trench, 

fabricate and install the pipeline, backfill the trench, and restore 

the construction right-of-way. 

f. Cut vegetation just aboveground level, leaving existing root 

systems in place, and remove it from the wetland for disposal. 

g. Limit pulling of tree stumps and grading activities to directly 

over the trenchline. Do not grade or remove stumps or root 

systems from the rest of the construction right-of-way in 

wetlands unless the Chief Inspector and Environmental 

Inspector determine that safety-related construction constraints 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 15 

require grading or the removal of tree stumps from under the 

working side of the construction right-of-way. 

h. Segregate the top 1 foot of topsoil from the area disturbed by 

trenching, except in areas where standing water is present or 

soils are saturated or frozen. Immediately after backfilling is 

complete, restore the segregated topsoil to its original location. 

i. Do not use rock, soil imported from outside the wetland, tree 

stumps, or brush riprap to support equipment on the 

construction right-of-way. 

j. If standing water or saturated soils are present, or if 

construction equipment causes ruts or mixing of the topsoil and 

subsoil in wetlands, use low-ground-weight construction 

equipment, or operate normal equipment on timber riprap, 

prefabricated equipment mats, or terra mats. 

k. Do not cut trees outside of the approved construction work 

area to obtain timber for riprap or equipment mats. 

l. Attempt to use no more than two layers of timber riprap to 

support equipment on the construction right-of-way. 

m. Remove all project-related material used to support equipment 

on the construction right-of-way upon completion of 

construction. 

3. Temporary Sediment Control 

Install sediment barriers (as defined in section IV.F.2.a. of the Plan) 

immediately after initial disturbance of the wetland or adjacent upland. 

 Sediment barriers must be properly maintained throughout 

construction and reinstalled as necessary (such as after backfilling of 

the trench). Except as noted below in section VI.B.3.c., maintain 

sediment barriers until replaced by permanent erosion controls or 

restoration of adjacent upland areas is complete. Temporary erosion 

and sediment control measures are addressed in more detail in the 

Plan. 

a. Install sediment barriers across the entire construction right-ofway immediately upslope of the wetland boundary at all 

wetland crossings where necessary to prevent sediment flow 

into the wetland. 

b. Where wetlands are adjacent to the construction right-of-way 

and the right-of-way slopes toward the wetland, install sediment 

barriers along the edge of the construction right-of-way as 

necessary to prevent sediment flow into the wetland. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 16 

c. Install sediment barriers along the edge of the construction 

right-of-way as necessary to contain spoil and sediment within 

the construction right-of-way through wetlands. Remove these 

sediment barriers during right-of-way cleanup. 

4. Trench Dewatering 

Dewater the trench (either on or off the construction right-of-way) in a 

manner that does not cause erosion and does not result in heavily siltladen water flowing into any wetland. Remove the dewatering 

structures as soon as possible after the completion of dewatering 

activities. 

C. RESTORATION 

1. Where the pipeline trench may drain a wetland, construct trench 

breakers and/or seal the trench bottom as necessary to maintain the 

original wetland hydrology. 

2. For each wetland crossed, install a trench breaker at the base of 

slopes near the boundary between the wetland and adjacent upland 

areas. Install a permanent slope breaker across the construction 

right-of-way at the base of a slopes greater than 5 percent where the 

base of the slope is less than 50 feet from the wetland, or as needed 

to prevent sediment transport into the wetland. In addition, install 

sediment barriers as outlined in the Plan. In some areas, with the 

approval of the Environmental Inspector, an earthen berm may be 

suitable as a sediment barrier adjacent to the wetland. 

3. Do not use fertilizer, lime, or mulch unless required in writing by the 

appropriate land management or state agency. 

4. Consult with the appropriate land management or state agency to 

develop a project-specific wetland restoration plan. The restoration 

plan should include measures for re-establishing herbaceous and/or 

woody species, controlling the invasion and spread of undesirable 

exotic species (e.g., purple loosestrife and phragmites), and 

monitoring the success of the revegetation and weed control efforts. 

Provide this plan to the FERC staff upon request. 

5. Until a project-specific wetland restoration plan is developed and/or 

implemented, temporarily revegetate the construction right-of-way with 

annual ryegrass at a rate of 40 pounds/acre (unless standing water is 

present). 

6. Ensure that all disturbed areas successfully revegetate with wetland 

herbaceous and/or woody plant species. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 17 

7. Remove temporary sediment barriers located at the boundary 

between wetland and adjacent upland areas after upland revegetation 

and stabilization of adjacent upland areas are judged to be successful 

as specified in section VII.A.5. of the Plan. 

D. POST-CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE 

1. Do not conduct vegetation maintenance over the full width of the 

permanent right-of-way in wetlands. However, to facilitate periodic 

pipeline corrosion/leak surveys, a corridor centered on the pipeline 

and up to 10 feet wide may be maintained in a herbaceous state. In 

addition, trees within 15 feet of the pipeline that are greater than 

15 feet in height may be selectively cut and removed from the 

permanent right-of-way. 

2. Do not use herbicides or pesticides in or within 100 feet of a wetland, 

except as allowed by the appropriate land management agency or 

state agency. 

3. Monitor and record the success of wetland revegetation annually for 

the first 3 years after construction or until wetland revegetation is 

successful. At the end of 3 years after construction, file a report with 

the Secretary identifying the status of the wetland revegetation efforts. 

 Include the percent cover achieved and problem areas (weed 

invasion issues, poor revegetation, etc.). Continue to file a report 

annually until wetland revegetation is successful. 

4. Wetland revegetation shall be considered successful if the cover of 

herbaceous and/or woody species is at least 80 percent of the type, 

density, and distribution of the vegetation in adjacent wetland areas 

that were not disturbed by construction. If revegetation is not 

successful at the end of 3 years, develop and implement (in 

consultation with a professional wetland ecologist) a remedial 

revegetation plan to actively revegetate the wetland. Continue 

revegetation efforts until wetland revegetation is successful. 

VII. HYDROSTATIC TESTING 

A. NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES AND PERMITS 

1. Apply for state-issued water withdrawal permits, as required. 

2. Apply for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 

or state-issued discharge permits, as required. 

3. Notify appropriate state agencies of intent to use specific sources at 

least 48 hours before testing activities unless they waive this 

requirement in writing. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
October 2008 18 

B. GENERAL 

1. Perform 100 percent radiographic inspection of all pipeline section 

welds or hydrotest the pipeline sections, before installation under 

waterbodies or wetlands. 

2. If pumps used for hydrostatic testing are within 100 feet of any 

waterbody or wetland, address the operation and refueling of these 

pumps in the project’s Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. 

3. The project sponsor shall file with the Secretary before construction a 

list identifying the location of all waterbodies proposed for use as a 

hydrostatic test water source or discharge location. 

C. INTAKE SOURCE AND RATE 

1. Screen the intake hose to prevent entrainment of fish. 

2. Do not use state-designated exceptional value waters, waterbodies 

which provide habitat for federally listed threatened or endangered 

species, or waterbodies designated as public water supplies, unless 

appropriate Federal, state, and/or local permitting agencies grant 

written permission. 

3. Maintain adequate flow rates to protect aquatic life, provide for all 

waterbody uses, and provide for downstream withdrawals of water by 

existing users. 

4. Locate hydrostatic test manifolds outside wetlands and riparian areas 

to the maximum extent practicable. 

D. DISCHARGE LOCATION, METHOD, AND RATE 

1. Regulate discharge rate, use energy dissipation device(s), and install 

sediment barriers, as necessary, to prevent erosion, streambed scour, 

suspension of sediments, or excessive streamflow. 

2. Do not discharge into state-designated exceptional value waters, 

waterbodies which provide habitat for federally listed threatened or 

endangered species, or waterbodies designated as public water 

supplies, unless appropriate Federal, state, and local permitting 

agencies grant written permission.

1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLAN 

Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT) has prepared a Spill Prevention and Response 

(SPAR) Plan which is designed to minimize hazards to human health and/or the 

environment from any unplanned sudden or non sudden releases of oils, toxic, hazardous, 

or other polluting materials to the air, soil, surface water or groundwater. FGT through its 

Contractors and Inspectors shall be responsible for the administration and implementation 

of this plan. This plan is intended to provide minimum requirements for spill prevention and 

response during construction activities. Contractor may develop their own spill prevention 

and response plan or use an existing plan provided that the plan used contains, at a 

minimum, all of the provisions of FGT’s SPAR Plan. 

This plan identifies the: 

• Measures taken for spill preparedness and prevention; 

• Emergency response procedures describing the actions that FGT and Contractor 

personnel will take in response to leaks, spills, or discharges of oil and hazardous 

substances/materials; 

• Designated emergency coordinator(s) and his/her responsibilities; 

• Spill incident reporting procedures; and 

• Contact numbers for the local police and fire departments, hospitals, and state and 

local emergency planning committees. 

Prior to the start of construction in an area, the Contractor shall designate storage, 

refueling, loading, and unloading locations which minimize the environmental and safety 

impacts associated with releases of fuel, lubricants, or hazardous substances. These 

areas will be designated using the following guidelines. 

• Refueling shall not occur within 100 of a waterbody or in an upland area at least 100 

feet from a wetland boundary without FGT Environmental Inspector coordination 

and approval. 

• Hazardous materials, including chemicals, fuels, and lubricating oils, shall not be 

stored within 100 feet of a wetland, waterbody, or designated municipal watershed 

area without FGT Environmental Inspector coordination and approval. 

• Refueling and storage of hazardous materials, including chemicals, fuels, and 

lubricating oils is prohibited within 200 feet of private wells and 500 feet of 

community and municipal wells. 

• No potentially hazardous materials, other than essential equipment fuels (gasoline, 

diesel, etc.) or standard lubricants (engine oils, grease, etc.) shall be transported 

into the right-of-way or construction area without FGT Environmental Inspector 

coordination and approval. 

CONTRACTOR will be required to comply with all applicable requirements of 40 

CFR 112, Oil Pollution Prevention, for any facility set up for the storage of fuel, 

oil, or other hydrocarbons, or refueling of vehicles and equipment, if the facility 

triggers compliance with the rule. This would include the development and 

implementation by CONTRACTOR of a Spill Prevention, Control, and 

Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan if necessary.

2.0 SPILL AND LEAK PREVENTION AND PREPAREDNESS 

2.1 PREVENTION AND PREPAREDNESS 

The Contractor will take the following precautions to prevent a spill from occurring and to be 

prepared in the event that a spill does occur. 

2.1.1 Containers 

• All containers shall be stored on pallets and surrounded with temporary containment. 

Small cans of gasoline, diesel, solvents, etc., should be stored within the temporary 

containment when not in use. 

• No incompatible materials shall be stored in the same containment area. 

• Containment areas shall be capable of containing 110% of the volume of the largest 

container in the storage area plus sufficient freeboard for rainfall. 

• All container storage areas shall be inspected daily for leaks and deterioration. 

• Leaking and/or deteriorated containers shall be replaced as soon as the condition is 

first detected. 

• No storage area shall be unattended for periods longer than one (1) day. 

2.1.2 Tanks 

• The contractor shall operate only those tanks for fuel and material storage which 

meet the approval of FGT. Single wall tanks shall be provided with temporary 

containment as described in Section 2.1.1 for containers. 

• Self-supporting tanks shall be constructed of carbon steel or other materials 

compatible with the contents of each tank. 

• All tanks and storage areas shall be inspected daily for leaks and deterioration. 

• Vehicle mounted tanks shall be equipped with flame/spark arrestors on all vents to 

ensure that self ignition does not occur. 

• Tanks will not be used to store incompatible materials in sequence unless first 

thoroughly decontaminated. 

2.1.3 Loading/Unloading Areas 

• Transferring of liquids and refueling shall only occur in pre-designated locations at 

least 100 feet from all waterbodies and wetlands, 200 feet from any water well, and 

500 feet from municipal or community water supply wells unless prior approval is 

obtained from the FGT Environmental Inspector. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
- 3 - 

• All loading/unloading areas will be inspected for spills prior to and immediately after 

each use and closely monitored during use to prevent leaks and spills, and ensure 

immediate response in the event of a spill. 

• All hose connections shall be inspected for leaks. If leaks should occur, the 

operation shall cease until the leak is repaired or a containment pan is placed under 

the leaking connection. 

2.1.4 Equipment 

• Contractor is to ensure that all equipment operating on the project is in good working 

order and free of any leaks. 

• The Environmental Inspector has the authority to ask the contractor to remove a 

piece of equipment from the project if it is found to be leaking hazardous fluids on 

the ground and is not repaired by the contractor. 

2.1.5 Spill Response Kits 

• Any service vehicle used to transport lubricants and fuel must be equipped with an 

oil spill response kit adequately stocked to respond to a minor oil/fuel spill event. 

• Chemical spill response kits, adequately stocked to respond to a minor chemical spill 

event, shall be available in areas where appropriate. 

• Additionally, spill response kits shall be available on the right-of-way and on or near 

operating equipment as deemed appropriate by the FGT Environmental Inspector. 

• Equipment such as hydraulic track hoes and hydraulic pumps that could fail and 

cause a reportable spill must be equipped with an oil spill response kit adequately 

stocked to respond to a minor oil/fuel spill event. 

2.2 EMPLOYEE TRAINING 

All personnel involved in the construction of the proposed facilities will be trained on the 

contents of the SPAR Plan. Training briefings will be conducted by the Contractor 

Superintendent or his designee and the FGT Environmental Inspector on the job site. 

2.3 SPILL RESPONSE EQUIPMENT 

The construction project will have adequate manpower and equipment necessary to divert 

any spill from reaching water bodies and wetland areas. Emergency equipment may 

include, but is not limited to, shovels, backhoes, dozers, front-end loaders, oil absorbent 

booms, pillows, socks and/or mats and chemical absorbent pulp, pillows, socks and/or 

mats.

3.0 INITIAL SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES 

This section provides a description of spill response procedures to be performed to address 

spills that occur during this construction project. 

3.1 COMPANY AND CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES 

The Contractor and FGT on-site personnel have responsibilities for spill prevention and 

response. In addition to the oversight of initial spill response activities, FGT's 

Environmental Inspector and Environmental Project Manager will determine if state 

and/or federal notifications are required and make notification accordingly. 

The Contractor will have a designated Environmental Coordinator for the site. The 

Contractor’s Environmental Coordinator will be responsible for the Contractor’s initial spill 

response activities. The responsibilities of the Contractor and FGT will be as follows: 

3.1.1 Contractor Responsibilities 

• The Contractor will be responsible for taking immediate action to safely control and 

contain any spills or releases of oil, petroleum products, and hazardous 

substances/materials. 

• All spills or releases (including any sheen created on water or releases to the 

atmosphere) must be reported immediately to the FGT Environmental Inspector. 

• The Contractor shall supply necessary manpower and equipment to control, contain, 

and clean up all spills and releases resulting from their operations. 

3.1.2 FGT Environmental Inspector Responsibilities 

• FGT's Environmental Inspector or his designee will be responsible for making 

appropriate agency notifications spills and releases. 

• FGT will be responsible for the oversight of the initial spill response activities. 

• FGT will provide supporting personnel and equipment to address releases as 

required. 

• In the event of a spill the Environmental Inspector shall obtain as much information 

as possible regarding the cause of the event, the type and amount or material spilled 

or released, and corrective measures or response activities being taken. 

• Consult the FGT Environmental Project Manager immediately and determine if the 

spill or release is a reportable event. The Environmental Inspector will also notify the 

FGT Field Construction Office for releases of: 

- one pound or more of a solid material; 

- five gallons or more of a liquid material; 

- any spill to water, including any sheen on water. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
- 5 - 

• Obtain a copy of the Contractor’s written spill report as soon as it is available and 

forward a copy to the Environmental Project Manager. 

3.1.3 FGT Environmental Project Manager Responsibilities

PRELIMINARY STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN (SWPPP) 

FOR THE 

Florida Gas Transmission Phase VIII Expansion Project (Pipelines and Appurtenant 

Facilities) 

I. GENERAL PROJECT AND PURPOSE DESCRIPTION

This plan describes the measures that are to be taken to protect against the effects of storm water runoff 

during and following the construction of this Florida Gas Transmission Company (FGT) project. The 

project consists of the construction of up to 563 miles of multi-diameter pipeline and associated pipeline 

support facilities, and the acquisition of 23.1 miles of existing lateral pipeline. In addition, FGT will add 

compression (nominally a total of 213,600 hp) at eight existing compressor stations and one new 

compressor station. In addition, three new metering and regulation (M&R) stations and one new regulator 

station will be constructed and two existing M&R stations will be upgraded. In addition, auxiliary and 

appurtenant facilities will be constructed as part of the Project. This Preliminary SWPPP identifies the key 

measures that will be included in FGT’s SWPPP and implemented during construction of the pipeline and 

appurtenant facilities. A separate Florida stormwater permit will address treatment and control measures 

to be made in association with construction of the compressor stations. 

The construction will take place in Alabama and Florida. The construction activities include clearing, 

grading, trenching, backfilling, and clean-up and restoration. There will be temporary work areas 

associated with the installation of the new pipeline that will be utilized for pipe storage, trench excavation, 

and other construction related activities. The project will also include restoring all temporary work areas to 

the original grade including seeding and mulching, as required. 

The intent of construction clean-up and restoration will be to return the area as nearly as possible to the 

same contours and surface conditions that existed before construction. The only changes in runoff will be 

temporary changes during construction. The construction activities are expected to occur on different 

segments between January 2010 and April 2011. The measures listed in this document are oriented 

toward protection of the area during construction and for the period following the construction. 

Note: At all times the SWPPP must be kept at the site, followed, and made available to a 

responsible agency representative upon request. 

The stormwater permit is to be posted at a prominent site in public view for inspection. 

In addition, all reports, including the Rainfall Log and the completed Stormwater 

Pollution Prevention Plan Inspection Report Form, will be maintained and be readily 

available for review at the project site. 

GENERAL LOCATION

The proposed project is located in several sections, townships, and ranges many counties in Alabama and 

Florida, and will be depicted on U.S.G.S. 7.5 minute quadrangle maps. 

II. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION

NATURE OF THE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY

During construction of the Project, existing land uses will be temporarily disturbed by activities required for 

the installation of the proposed facilities. Overall, construction of the Project facilities will require the 

temporary disturbance for pipeline construction right-of-way, extra temporary work space (ETWS) areas, 

and aboveground facilities. Following construction, the pipeline facilities and newly constructed or 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
PRELIMINARY STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN

PIPELINES

FGT PHASE VIII EXPANSION PROJECT

2 

expanded aboveground facilities will occupy lands through an easement to allow for operation and 

maintenance of the facilities. 

SEQUENCE OF MAJOR ACTIVITIES

The sequence of major activities will be as follows: 

 Establish perimeter controls around workspace (temporary and permanent easement); 

 Excavate trench for new pipeline; 

 Perform hydrostatic test on new line; and 

 Recontour and revegetate work site. 

IMPACTED SOIL DATA

The proposed project traverses the soil types and will be indicated on the soils map and attached. 

The traversed soils will be listed as described by the Natural Resources Conservation Service; however, 

because of land disturbances caused by development, soil characteristics may vary (generally) from these 

descriptions. On this project footprint, some of the soils have been disturbed by roadway and pipeline 

facility construction. 

DRAINAGE AREA SIZE FOR EACH DISCHARGE POINT

Discharge areas, along with points and reference mileposts, will be included as necessary for linear 

construction projects. FGT will obtain hydrostatic test water withdrawal and discharge permits, as 

required. All construction storm water from the pipeline right-of-way will be directed towards sediment 

retention devices and existing drainage ditches and/or natural drainage features. 

III. LAND DESCRIPTION

WETLANDS

FGT identified potential wetland areas along the Project through a review of NWI maps, Florida 

Department of Transportation’s Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS) 

maps, USGS topographic maps, and current aerial photography. Field wetland delineation surveys were 

conducted from February to July 2008 in areas where survey access could be obtained. For each wetland 

crossed by Project facilities, the beginning milepost (MP) location, Cowardin classification (Cowardin et al., 

1979), Project wetland designation, crossing length, and the affected area for construction and operation 

will be included for reference. 

State water quality standards will be maintained by through implementation of the FERC Wetland and 

Waterbody Construction and Mitigation Procedures (Procedures), including utilization of silt fence and 

other appropriate BMPs at wetland and ditch crossings. Erosion controls will be installed around the work 

area in wetlands. A copy of the Procedures will be included in the SWPPP.

Impacts on land use associated with Project construction will be primarily short-term and minimized by 

locating pipeline facilities parallel and adjacent to FGT’s existing pipeline corridors. Impacts will be further 

minimized by the fact that the majority of the pipeline facilities associated with the Project follow existing, 

previously disturbed utility corridors or other existing linear infrastructure. Following construction, all 

temporary construction rights-of-way and ETWSs would be allowed to revert to previous or similar uses, in 

accordance with easement agreements. Long-term impacts associated with pipeline operation include the 

encumbrance of new lands for the rights-of-way and associated restrictions on future land uses. These 

restrictions will prohibit certain types of uses from occurring within the right-of-way, including the 

construction of any permanent aboveground structures (e.g., residences, commercial buildings, swimming 

pools). 

Erosion potential in areas affected by construction will increase due to clearing, grading, trenching, and 

backfilling. Soil structural impacts and compaction could also result from pipeline construction during 

excessively wet periods. In order to minimize potential impact to soil resources, FGT will utilize the 

measures contained in the FERC Upland Erosion Control, Revegetation and Maintenance Plan (Plan), 

which details construction and restoration measures for the upland areas that would be affected by the 

Project. A copy of this Plan will be included in the SWPPP. 

Methods that will be used for erosion and sediment control associated with the Project include the use of 

typical erosion control devices such as sediment barrier, temporary slope breakers, silt fencing, and/or 

haybales (drawings of these devices will be included in the SWPPP), inspection procedures, and record 

keeping (forms for record keeping of data such as rainfall). Silt fences and other devices will be used to 

maintain stormwater and minimize erosion by wind and water during construction. Regular inspections will 

ensure that proper attention is maintained for signs of erosion and compaction of the soils during and after 

construction. 

FGT has developed a Spill Prevention and Response Plan and will have its contractors prepare a project 

specific Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC Plan) prior to construction in order to 

minimize potential contamination of soil resources from spills of hazardous materials. The SPCC Plan will 

include measures for spill prevention as well as detail spill response procedures. 

FGT will also implement dust control measures as necessary during construction to control fugitive dust 

along the construction right-of-way, soil storage piles, and other areas of where vegetation has been 

removed as a result of construction. These measures typically include application of water and mulch as 

needed to control dust. 

DRAINAGE AREAS

All sediment will be controlled at the work site by using perimeter silt fence or other erosion control 

devices down-gradient of wetlands, roadways and other sensitive features.. 

If discharge points are utilized, anchored straw bales and silt fence will be employed downstream to 

prevent any erosion or sedimentation that was generated by the work site. 

It is anticipated that the runoff coefficient will remain constant, for the duration of this pipeline replacement 

project. The project will not result in any increase in impervious area within the drainage area, and all 

runoff will be infiltrated within the workspace. 

Currently, the runoff coefficient is estimated at 0.10 to 0.30 depending on the slope. During construction, 

the runoff coefficient is expected to remain the same or actually decrease. Since the work area will be 

allowed to return to its original land use, the runoff coefficient will not permanently change as a result of 

construction of this project.

IV. BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

GENERAL

In general, the protective measures to prevent erosion and sedimentation problems during a rainfall event 

involve good construction procedures or best management practices. Construction activities will be 

conducted so that upon completion of construction land contours or topography has been restored to 

preconstruction conditions. The BMPs for each sequence are described below and are to be inspected 

and maintained at all times during project construction to be in compliance with the plan. Note: all controls 

shall be consistent with performance standards for erosion and sediment control and stormwater 

treatment set forth in Section 62-40.432, F.A.C., the applicable Stormwater or Environmental Resource 

Permitting requirements of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection or the South Florida Water 

Management District, and the guidelines contained in the Florida Development Manual: A Guide to Sound 

Land and Water Management (FDEP, 1988) and any subsequent amendments. 

CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE AND BMPS

Clear 

The total clearing of vegetation including root structures shall be kept to a minimum. Generally the areas 

other than where the facility will be sited will be left with surface intact. Temporary workspace will 

generally be used for staging and stockpiling, which can be accomplished without significant disturbance 

to the substrate but will necessarily impact surface vegetation. To the extent practicable, only above 

surface vegetation shall be removed unless vehicular movement is impaired. 

Excavate/grade trench and facility footprint 

Protective measures as outlined in the FERC Plan will be utilized during installation of this project. 

Assemble and connect facility elements 

Protective measures as outlined in the FERC Plan will be utilized during this project. As stated in the 

FERC Plan, erosion and storm water perimeter runoff controls will be installed around the work area, as 

necessary. 

Backfilling 

Protective measures as outlined in the FERC Plan will be utilized during installation of this project. As 

stated in the plan, erosion and storm water perimeter runoff controls will be installed around the work area, 

as necessary. 

Recontour and Revegetate 

Those areas not encumbered within the permanent pipeline right-of-way will be seeded in accordance with 

the local Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) or County Extension agent's recommendation 

for both seed mixtures and spreading rates or by following the FDOT guidelines for seeding and mulching. 

Otherwise, revegetation will be completed in accordance with permit documents and will follow the 

procedures as outlined in the FERC Plan.

pesticides are to be applied in accordance with the product label that has been approved by the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and are to be used only in accordance with the product intended 

use. Herbicides or pesticides are not to be used in or within 100 feet of a wetland, except as allowed by 

the appropriate land management agency or Florida Department of Environmental Protection. 

TOXIC SUBSTANCES – APPLICATION, GENERATION, AND MIGRATION

The use of toxic substances is not allowed without the written approval from the FGT Environmental 

Affairs Department. 

STORAGE, REFUELING AND LUBRICATION AREAS

Prior to the start of construction in an area, the Contractor shall designate locations that minimize the 

environmental and safety impacts associated with releases of fuel, lubricants, or hazardous substances. 

These areas will be designated using the following guidelines: 

1. Refueling shall not occur within 100 of a waterbody or in an upland area at least 100 feet from a 

wetland boundary without FGT Environmental Inspector coordination and approval. 

2. Hazardous materials, including chemicals, fuels, and lubricating oils, shall not be stored within 100 

feet of a wetland, waterbody, or designated municipal watershed area without FGT Environmental 

Inspector coordination and approval. 

3. Refueling and storage of hazardous materials, including chemicals, fuels, and lubricating oils is 

prohibited within 200 feet of private wells and 500 feet of community and municipal wells. 

4. No potentially hazardous materials, other than essential equipment fuels (gasoline, diesel, etc.) or 

standard lubricants (engine oils, grease, etc.) shall be transported into the right-of-way or construction 

area without FGT Environmental Inspector coordination and approval. 

Special Refueling Activities. 

When unique conditions require refueling within 100 feet of perennial stream banks, wetland boundaries, 

or within any municipal watersheds, a determination of necessary emergency response actions shall be 

conducted prior to refueling activities. At a minimum, any determination shall be based upon the 

environmental risks of relocating equipment to a refuel/lubrication area versus risks involved with 

refuel/lubrication in place. In addition, absorbent materials or other spill containment materials shall be 

available for immediate application prior to commencing refueling activities. 

Contingency Supplies 

Each construction crew shall have on hand sufficient supplies of absorbent, barrier materials, and Florida 

Department of Transportation (FDOT)-approved containers to allow for rapid containment and recovery of 

any potential spill. 

All products, including but not limited to fuels, lubricants, and waste materials, are to be properly contained 

in accordance with Florida Department of Environmental Protection rules prior to entering or exiting the 

project site. 

The Initial Spill Response Procedures in the Spill Prevention and Response Plan, and subsequent 

contractors SPCC Plan are to be reviewed and followed.

Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC 

HDD CONTINGENCY PLAN 

1.0 DESCRIPTION OF HDD PROCESS 

The HDD crossing technique is a trenchless installation process by which pipeline is installed 

beneath obstacles and/or sensitive areas by utilizing remote guidance drilling technology 

derived from the oil and gas exploration drilling industry. An HDD involves a multi-stage 

process that consists of establishing a small diameter pilot hole along a crossing profile, followed 

by enlargement of the pilot hole (reaming) to accommodate pull back of the proposed pipeline. 

The pilot hole is drilled using rotation cutting and/or jetting with a jetting assembly attached to 

drill pipe. The cutting action of the drill head is remotely operated to control its orientation and 

direction. Enlarging the pilot hole is an incremental process accomplished with multiple reaming 

passes, depending on the pipeline diameter and subsurface geology, to increase the drill 

hole diameter. Upon successful completion of the reaming operation, the pre-assembled, 

hydrostatically tested section of pipeline is then pulled through the completed hole. Bentonite 

drilling fluid is used to lubricate the drill bit, help stabilize the drill hole and remove cutting spoil 

as the drilling fluid is returned to the entry point. 

2.0 PURPOSE OF PLAN 

All stages of HDD operations involve circulating drilling fluid. Among other purposes, the 

drilling fluid is used in the HDD process to transport soil and rock cuttings to the surface and to 

stabilize the hole. The fluid also reduces drilling friction, cools and cleans the drill cutters, 

transmits hydraulic power to the drill bit, and performs the hydraulic excavation of the cuttings. 

The primary component of the drilling fluid used in HDDs for pipeline installation is water. To 

enhance the fluid performance, a viscosifier (typically a naturally occurring bentonite clay) is 

added to the water to improve its properties. Because the drilling mud consists mainly of a 

bentonite clay-water mixture, it is not considered to be hazardous or toxic. 

The most likely occurrence of inadvertent mud releases developing during drilling operations 

is from "frac-outs." A frac-out is a condition in which the drilling mud is released through 

fractures in the soil and migrates toward the surface. Frac-outs usually occur when the downhole pressures are too high and overcome the restraining forces of the surrounding formation. 

This most often occurs during the pilot hole drilling operations when the pressures are the 

highest. Escape of drilling mud from a frac-out is most common near the drill entry and exit 

locations, but can occur at any location along the drill path. 

This plan identifies operational procedures and responsibilities for the prevention, 

containment, and clean-up for the unplanned release of drilling fluids (frac-outs) associated with 

HDD operations for the Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC Phase VIII Expansion Project. 

3.0 LAYOUT AND DESIGN FOR HDD CROSSINGS 

The HDD entry and exit locations will be sited to provide a minimum of a 50-foot setback from 

sensitive resources and a maximum design depth clearance to provide the greatest buffer 

between the sensitive resource and the drilling activity/installed pipe.

4.0 MONITORING OF HDD OPERATIONS 

Construction Inspector(s) and/or Environmental Inspector(s) will continuously monitor 

operations during HDD activities. Monitoring activities during drilling operations will include: 

 Visual inspection along the drill path, fluid return pit(s) and waterbody surface for 

evidence of a release; 

 Observation and documentation of drilling fluid pressures using HDD instrumentation; 

 Observation and documentation of drilling fluid recirculation volumes; and 

 Documentation of all drilling fluid products used. 

The Contractor will have readily available and strategically placed containment equipment to 

contain inadvertent releases of drilling fluid to waterbodies, including earth-moving 

equipment, portable pumps, containment booms, hand tools, hay bales, silt fence and 

sandbags. The Environmental Inspector(s) will ensure that adequate quantities of spill 

containment equipment and supplies are at the drilling location prior to allowing the contractor to 

begin drilling. Further, the Environmental Inspector(s) will ensure that each individual involved in 

drilling operations is familiar with the locations of all spill containment equipment and the specific 

procedures for handling potential drilling fluid releases. 

5.0 POTENTIAL LOSS OF CIRCULATION 

Typically, loss of circulation has the highest probability of occurring during drilling of the pilot 

hole, due to the smaller bore-hole annulus and the relatively large volume of solids being 

displaced and carried out in the drilling fluid. In the course of drilling the pilot hole, circulation 

will often be temporarily lost as the pilot bit is advanced through more permeable or less 

competent sections of the ground formation when fluid pressures are at a maximum. As the 

pilot bit advances beyond these sections of the bore-hole, fluid pressure will fall and circulation 

within the bore-hole will naturally be re-established. Much of the fluid lost to the formation under 

the greater pressures will return back to the bore-hole as the pressures fall, in which case the 

drilling fluid is not likely to migrate to the ground surface or the river. 

Drill cuttings generated as a result of the drilling process often will naturally bridge and 

subsequently seal fractures or voids as drilling progresses, thus providing another means of reestablishing circulation. This is especially likely during the reaming process as higher 

volumes of larger cuttings are typically generated. Therefore it is usually beneficial to proceed 

with the pilot hole even if circulation has not been re-established, since it will likely be reestablished at some point during the reaming process. 

In the event a complete loss of circulation of drilling mud occurs during operation of a HDD, 

Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC (FGT) will require the Contractor to cease pumping 

immediately, contain any drilling fluid which has surfaced, notify the Chief Inspector and Chief 

Environmental Inspector, and evaluate the data and circumstances leading to the loss of 

circulation to determine what method is to be utilized to seal the fracture. Most fractures can 

be sealed, if detected early, by pumping special materials to prevent loss of circulation down 

hole.

If a significant reduction of drilling fluid circulation is detected without total loss of circulation, the 

Contractor will reduce drilling fluid volumes and subsequent pressures and will increase the 

yield point of drilling fluid. Then, depending upon the progress of the drilling, the drill pipe may be 

“tripped out” until return flow is restored. 

6.0 PROCEDURES FOR RELEASE OF DRILLING FLUID 

Should an inadvertent release of drilling fluid (bentonite) occur in accessible areas, containment 

and subsequent clean-up will begin immediately upon detection. Field measures to contain 

inadvertent releases of drilling fluid will vary according to site-specific conditions (e.g. volume 

of fluid, topography, and environmental setting). The most commonly utilized system for 

containment of surface releases of bentonite would involve a perimeter earthen berm, hay 

bales, or silt fence. Where this system of containment cannot be employed, containment 

procedures will be directed by the Chief Inspector assisted by the Chief Environmental Inspector 

to minimize environmental impact. 

After containment, clean-up and restoration will generally be accomplished utilizing one of 

the following: 

 hand labor, hand tools and buckets; 

 portable pumps and hand tools; 

 rubber tired equipment and hand tools; and/or 

 vacuum trucks and hand tools. 

Isolation under certain field conditions is virtually impossible. In the unlikely event that a drilling 

fluid release occurs within an area that cannot be isolated or contained, such as along the bed 

of the waterbody or into the water, drilling operations will be stopped immediately. Upon 

evaluation by appropriate personnel, a decision will be made on how best to continue the 

crossing construction to minimize impacts. The procedures listed below will be followed. 

 Ensure that all reasonable measures within the limitations of the technology have been taken 

to re-establish drilling fluid circulation; 

 Continue drilling with the minimum amount of drilling fluid required to penetrate the 

formation and successfully install the pipeline. 

In the event of an inadvertent release of drilling fluid within a waterway, FGT will immediately 

contact the appropriate federal and state agencies by telephone and/or facsimile detailing the 

location and nature of the release, the corrective actions being taken, and whether the 

release poses a threat to public health and safety. 

7.0 ABANDONMENT OF HDD 

If a directional drill must be abandoned, the drill hole will be filled with drilling fluid and grout 

sealed for a distance of not less than thirty feet at each end.

Plan for Recognizing and Reporting Paleontological Resources 

Environmental Inspectors for the Phase VIII Expansion Project will be adequately trained on identification of paleontological resources. Although no known areas of concern have been identified in the project area, should paleontological resources be located during the Phase VIII Expansion Project, the Environmental Inspection Personnel, or personnel in charge, should record the following information: 

A. The location of the specimen including project segment, Township, Range, Section, FGT 

milepost or station number. 

B. The land owner name and contact information. C. The provenance information including: 

a. Approximate depth from which the specimen was recovered. b. Context in which specimen was recovered (in situ, in trench back fill, exposed on surface, 

etc.).

c. The disposition of the specimen (returned with soil into trench, turned over to the landowner, 

etc.)

D. Nature of the specimen (complete bone, bone fragment, tooth, armored plate, etc). E. Number of specimens (single specimen, multiple specimens). F. Protection measures for specimen (returned to trench and documented, turned over to landowner, 

etc.).

G. If possible, photograph the specimen alongside a tape measure or other scale. 

FGT personnel will encourage the landowner to contact the State agencies listed below about the discovery of paleontological resources on their property. FGT recognizes that paleontological resources are the property of the landowner, but FGT will provide information and, if possible, the actual specimen to the appropriate museum. A specimen form will be developed and completed for paleontological resources found during construction and provided to the appropriate state museum following completion of the project.

Section 1 INTRODUCTION

This Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Assessment contains an evaluation of the proposed impacts on EFH associated with the proposed Florida Gas Transmission, LLC (FGT) Phase VIII Expansion Project (Project) located in Alabama and Florida. This EFH Assessment only addresses the segment of the Project designated as Loop 11, located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, as it is the only Project segment that would potentially affect EFH. The purpose of this EFH Assessment is to enhance communication and coordination among the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), regional Fishery Management Councils (FMCs), and affected State and federal agencies. EFH consultation for the proposed Project commenced with an informal telephone conversation between FGT and David Dale, NMFS, conducted on May 5 2008, followed by the submission of a Draft FGT EFH Assessment to NMFS on October 3, 2008 This FERC EFH Assessment was prepared in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and constitutes formal consultation. The purpose of the Magnuson-Stevens Act is to sustain healthy and productive marine habitats, 

and it mandates the identification of EFH for managed species as well as measures to conserve and enhance the habitat necessary for fish to carry out their life cycles. Achieving this goal requires the long-term maintenance of suitable marine fishery habitat quality and quantity. Pursuant to section 305(b)(2) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, federal agencies must consult with NMFS regarding any of their actions authorized, funded, or undertaken, or proposed to be authorized, funded, or undertaken that may adversely affect EFH. Measures recommended to protect EFH by NMFS or any FMC are advisory, not proscriptive. An effective EFH consultation process is vital to ensuring that Federal actions are consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Act resource management goal.

Section 2 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION 

FGT would construct and operate an expansion to the existing FGT natural gas pipeline system located in Alabama and Florida. The Project would increase FGT’s certified capacity by up to 820 million cubic feet per day (MMcF/d) to serve the expanding needs for additional transportation service in Florida and the Gulf Coast. The Project would consist of the construction of approximately 483.2 miles of multi-diameter pipeline and associated pipeline support facilities, and the acquisition of 23.1 miles of existing lateral pipeline. Of the 483.2 miles of the Project area, only that portion designated as Loop 11, located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, is proposed to cross potential EFH (see Figure 1 – Project Location Map). The Proposed Action of the Loop 11 segment would consist of the installation of 24-inch diameter pipe approximately 6.6 miles long beginning at MP 11.3 and ending at MP 17.9. Installation of the pipeline would involve open trenching and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). A trench would be excavated to a depth sufficient to provide the minimum cover required by U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) specifications, which is typically three feet. The trenches would be backfilled and returned to pre-construction grade. Vegetation would be allowed to return after construction is completed. 2.1 ALTERNATIVES ANALYSISAs a result of the Loop 11 segment traversing potential EFH, an alternatives analysis was completed by FGT to identify and evaluate two potential routes for the Loop 11 segment, and to determine the most practicable and environmentally favorable placement. The two potential routes include the original route and modified-original route (Proposed Action). 2.1.1 ORIGINAL ROUTE The original route, which was not selected, would involve co-location of the Loop 11 segment with the existing FGT Turkey Point Lateral for the full 6.6 miles, which for a large part would parallel the east side of the existing Florida Power and Light (FPL) Right-of-Way (ROW) between the west side of Southwest 97th Avenue and the L-31 Canal. This area of FPL ROW contains the highest quality mangroves and highest water levels of the two routes considered. This original route was not selected due to its higher anticipated impact on EFH, primarily mangrove habitat.2.1.2 MODIFIED-ORIGINAL ROUTE (PROPOSED ACTION) The modified-original route was selected as the Proposed Action for the Loop 11 segment. The modified-original route would parallel the original route between Mile Post (MP) 11.3 and MP 14.5. At MP 14.5, the modified-original route would diverge toward the west and reassume its direction along the western portion of FPL ROW, before ending at MP 17.9 (see figures 2a–2e). Although the modified-original route would be located within the same wetland system as the original route, it would be at a greater distance from the hydrologic connection to the L-31 Canal and Biscayne Bay

and consist of lower

quality mangroves and lower water levels

In addition

Proposed Action center line. Proceeding north to south, from MP 11.3, the Black Creek Canal is 

directly connected to Biscayne Bay and three small water retention areas that are connected to the canal via culverts (see Photograph 1). Minimal wetland vegetation occurs on the banks of the 

Black Creek Canal and in the associated retention areas. A forested/scrub-shrub wetland is located along the northern bank of the canal, outside of the study area. The route would be diverted at MP 12.13 to avoid the Old South Landfill with a westward alignment to MP 13.74. (Photograph 2 shows the Goulds Canal and Photograph 3 shows the landfill mounds which is 

avoided by this alignment.) Just south of the landfill, at MP 13.74, the route would begin to parallel the L-31 Canal. This section of the study area, located between MP 13.74 and 14.0, would include the western bank of the L¬31 Canal, associated access road and adjacent low-quality exotic-vegetated wetland areas that contains Australian pines (Casuarina equisetifolia), Brazilian pepper (Schinus

terebinthifolius), shoeberry (Ardisia elliptica), and buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus). As a result of a limited number of culvert connections, this low-quality wetland area has very limited hydrologic connection with the L-31 Canal (see Photograph 4). The L-31 Canal edge in this 

section of the study area contains a significant amount of buttonwood, and sawgrass (Cladium 

jamaicense) indicative of freshwater conditions. Beginning at MP 14.0 and continuing to the end of the Loop 11 segment at MP 17.9, the study area would include the FPL ROW, and continue to parallel the L-31 Canal. This section of the study area is predominately a contiguous moderate-to-high-quality wetland system that is hydrologically connected to Biscayne Bay via culvert connections with the L-31 Canal. The Proposed Action would cross two additional man-made canals–the C-102 Canal (see Photograph 5) at approximate MP 14.5 and Military Canal at approximate MP 16.5, before ending just north of a fifth canal at MP 17.9. At approximately MP 14.6, the Proposed Action route would divert form the eastern side of the FPL ROW toward the west and reassume its southerly direction along the western side of FPL ROW. The western side of the FPL ROW can be categorized as a mix of three generally dominant vegetation types: buttonwood and white mangroves (Laguncularia racemosa), red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle), and emergent-wetland vegetation (see Photograph 6). An FPL 

access road occurs along the west boundary of the study area. A majority of this FPL access road is uplands and connects to access areas at the base of the power-line towers. The main access road and the access areas at the base of the power-line towers are maintained free of woody vegetation and provide minimal habitat (see Photograph 7). In addition, due to the reduced hydrologic flow from the eastern portion of the study area, FGT indicated that the quality of red mangroves appeared slightly reduced on the western side of the FPL ROW when compared to the eastern side and noted that the area contained only an indirect connection to the L-31 Canal and Biscayne Bay due to partial isolation resulting from berms, access roads culverts, and flood control structures (see Photograph 8).Certain habitats crossed by the Proposed Action are important to managed fish and are considered

Section 3 ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT DESIGNATION 

EFH is defined by the Magnuson-Stevens Act of 1976, as amended in 1996. The MagnusonStevens Act was enacted by the U.S. Congress to protect marine fish stocks and their habitat, to prevent and stop overfishing and to minimize bycatch. Congress defined EFH as “those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding or growth to maturity.” The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that EFH be identified for all fish species federally managed by the FMCs and NMFS.3.1 FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLANS (FMPS) Eight FMCs were established under the Magnuson-Stevens Act to manage living marine resources within the federal limit water boundary and are required to describe and identify EFH designations in their respective regions. The Proposed Action is located within the jurisdiction of the SAFMC. Each of these councils is responsible for developing a FMP to achieve specified management goals for fisheries. The FMP includes data, analyses, and management measures (including guidelines for harvest) for a fishery. The seven FMPs developed by the SAFMC include Calico Scallop FMP; Coastal Migratory Pelagic (includes King and Spanish Mackerel) FMP; Coral FMP; Golden Crab FMP; Shrimp FMP; Snapper/Grouper Complex FMP; and Spiny Lobster FMP.NMFS manages species classified as Highly Migratory Species (HMS) and has developed an FMP for those species. Those species considered to be HMS include Atlantic tuna, billfish, coastal sharks, and swordfish. The NMFS geographically defines EFH for each of the HMS along the Atlantic coast. The defined EFH areas are species-specific and are included within the estuarine and marine water column habitats designated by the SAFMC. 3.2 SOUTH ATLANTIC FISHERIES MANAGEMENT COUNCIL MANAGED 

SPECIES

The Proposed Action is located in southeast Florida, inland from Biscayne Bay. Biscayne Bay supports EFH managed species and those species that may be present in, or in the vicinity of the Proposed Action study area and are managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Act are listed in Table 4.5, Section 4.5, below. In addition, Table 4.5 includes the species managed by SAFMC and NMFS that may be found in the Proposed Action study area; expected life stages in the Proposed Action study area; habitat associated with the species; and associated EFH habitat that may be found in the Proposed Action study area. These managed species include several shrimp species, red drum, fish encompassing the Snapper-Grouper Complex, coastal migratory pelagics (dolphin, cobia, and mackerel), golden crab, spiny lobster, coral, coral reef fish, calico scallops, and sargassum habitat. NMFS managed HMS include Atlantic tuna, billfish, coastal sharks, and swordfish.3.3 HABITAT AREAS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
spawning, and rearing of fish and shellfish. A few HAPCs have been identified within and/or in 

adjacent areas of the Proposed Action. The SAFMC, as well as other FMCs that manage fish in the southeast and Caribbean areas, have designated HAPC areas to focus on conservation priorities of specific habitat areas that play a particularly important role in the life cycles of federally managed fish species. Table 3.1 below identifies those areas in the South Atlantic and in Florida that are designated as HAPC as well as their proximity to the study area.

Section 4 POTENTIAL ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT AND 

MANAGED SPECIES IN THE PROPOSED ACTION STUDY AREA 

The following section discusses the potential EFH present in the Proposed Action study area of the Loop 11 segment and the federally managed species that may be present in the identified EFH. The EFH types found in the study area include Estuarine Scrub/Shrub Mangroves; Estuarine Emergent Wetlands; Palustrine Emergent and Estuarine Water Column. Table 4.1 lists the EFH designations for the SAFMC and identifies the EFH types found in the study area.

located in the four southernmost counties of the Florida peninsula: Miami-Dade, Monroe, Collier, 

and Lee Counties (Gilmore and Snedaker, 1993). Mangrove habitats, similar to those found in the Proposed Action study area, are known for high productivity. This high productivity is attributed to the reduced salinity in the area and freshwater runoff from land that provides mineral nutrients required for growth. This high production provides organic detrital material to the adjoining low-salinity system, and also is an important habitat for fishery organisms. The estuarine scrub/shrub mangrove habitat within the study area is present along the last four miles of the Proposed Action route. The dominant vegetation of the habitat consists of buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus), white mangroves (Laguncularia racemosa), red mangroves 

(Rhizophora mangle), and emergent-wetland vegetation. Exotic, invasive, and nuisance species are also present and include Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), Australian pine (Casuarina equisetifolia), shoeberry (Ardisia elliptica), and poisonwood (Metopium toxiferum).

Managed EFH species that are known to inhabit mangrove habitats during some period of their life and which could be present in the study area include members of the Snapper-Grouper/Reef Fish Complex, and drum. Detailed descriptions of these species are found in Section 4.5, below. 

4.2 ESTUARINE EMERGENT WETLANDS Coastal marsh environments associated with the Proposed Action study area are located adjacent to Biscayne Bay. The estuarine emergent wetlands in the study area contain plant species such as asian coinwort (Centella asiatica), sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense), barnyard grass (Echinochloa 

crusgalli), Peruvian primrose willow (Ludwigia peruviana), spatterdock (Nuphar lutea), torpedo 

grass (Panicum repens), frog fruit (Phyla nodiflora), Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), and cattail (Typha sp.). These habitats are important for fish spawning and juvenile development.

Managed species that are known to inhabit estuarine emergent marsh habitats during some period of their life and that could be present in the study area include Penaeid shrimp, members of the Snapper-Grouper/Reef Fish Complex, cobia of the Coastal Migratory Pelagics FMP and the red drum. The quality of the habitat is expected to limit the potential presence of these species. 

4.3 ESTUARINE WATER COLUMNFour man-made canals (L-31, Goulds, C-102 and Military) are present within the Proposed Action study area. The Goulds, C-102, and Military canals are traversed by the Proposed Action route and are directly connected to Biscayne Bay. The L-31 Canal parallels the study area adjacent to the east side and is hydrologically connected to Biscayne Bay, via the other three canals. The canals are most likely oligohaline [< 5 parts per thousand (ppt)] as the canals contain very low levels of salinity. To the west, agricultural and nursery areas are present. Man-made ditches and creeks are present and connect to the canals on the landward side. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
brevipinna), and bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas). Managed species that are known to inhabit the 

water column during some period of their life and that could be present in the study area include sheepshead and coastal sharks. It is important to note that the water column in the study area is not high quality EFH as it contains low salinity, high turbidity levels, and is susceptible to runoff from surrounding areas. Flood control structures are also present, preventing large fish and/or sharks from entering the canals. The canals are bermed, containing sandy areas on each side. Species observed in the canals are predominantly exotic species including tilapia, oscars, peacock bass, armored catfish, and other cichlids. A few native species were observed including Atlantic needlefish (Strongylura 

marina) and sheepshead (Archosargus probatocephalus), a member of the Reef Fish complex. 

4.4 PALUSTRINE EMERGENT AND FORESTED WETLANDS Tidal freshwater marshes occur in the uppermost portion of estuaries between the oligohaline (low salinity of 0.5 to 5 ppt) zone and non-tidal freshwater wetlands. The Proposed Action study area contains small areas of palustrine (freshwater) emergent marsh. The Proposed Action route would cross approximately 147 linear feet of freshwater marsh habitat. This habitat contains vegetation that includes sawgrass, arrowhead (Sagitaria latifolia), torpedograss, cattails, and 

Brazilian pepper. The habitats are located along the banks of a limited portion of the canal system and in the higher elevation along the FPL ROW within the mangrove habitat. It is important to note that these palustrine emergent wetlands do not typically contain water levels high enough to support fish species, due to there elevation and locations. Even with a flood or large storm event, the areas are not likely to become highly inundated. 

4.5 POTENTIAL MANAGED SPECIES INVOLVEMENT Table 4.5 includes a list of the species managed by SAFMC and NMFS that may be found in the Proposed Action study area; identification of which EFH the species is expected to utilize within the Proposed Action study area; and the life stage in which the species is expected to utilize the study area. 4.5.1 SNAPPER-GROUPER/ REEF FISH COMPLEX The Snapper-Grouper/ Reef Fish Complex as managed by the SAFMC are composed of seventytwo species of reef fish. The SAFMC designates EFH for the Snapper-Grouper complex as “coral reefs, live/hard bottom, submerged aquatic vegetation, artificial reefs and medium to high profile outcroppings on and around the shelf break zone from the shore to over 600ft” (NMFS, 1998). Some species in the Snapper-Grouper Complex depend on shallow areas for certain life stages. For these species, mangrove swamps, estuaries, seagrass beds, and other shallow areas are considered EFH.

The goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara) is the largest of all the groupers and can weigh up to 

750 pounds. Goliath groupers are caught for sport fishing and are a minor aspect of commercial fishing. Goliath groupers inhabit shallow, inshore areas with bottoms composed of rock, coral, or mud. Juveniles are found in mangrove areas and brackish estuaries. Food sources include primarily crustaceans, more specifically spiny lobsters, along with turtles, fishes, and stingrays. Mutton snapper (Lutjanus analis) are caught as part of both sport and commercial fisheries as 

well as for the aquarium trade. Mutton snapper usually inhabit continental shelf areas as well as clear waters around islands. As adults they are found among rocks and coral while juveniles are found over sandy, vegetated bottoms and in mangrove areas. Mutton snapper feed on fish, shrimps, crabs, cephalopods, and gastropods. The schoolmaster (Lutjanus apodus) is fished both recreationally and commercially. Habitat for the schoolmaster includes shallow, clear, warm coastal waters over coral reefs for adults and lagoons containing sand (with or without seagrass) or muddy bottoms and mangroves for juveniles. Schoolmasters feed on fish, shrimps, crabs, worms, gastropods, and cephalopods. The cubera snapper (Lutjanus cyanopterus) is caught by both sport and commercial fisheries. 

Adult habitat includes ledges over rocky bottoms and areas around reefs. Juveniles are known to inhabit mangrove areas. Cubera snappers feed on fish, shrimp, and crabs. The gray snapper (Lutjanus griseus) is caught as part of both sport and commercial fisheries and 

for the aquarium trade. Habitat for the gray snapper includes irregular bottom areas offshore (coral reefs, rock ledges, and wrecks to a depth of around 300 feet) as well as inshore areas including smooth bottom areas (usually near pilings), seagrass meadows, and mangroves. Food sources include small fish, shrimp, crabs, gastropods, cephalopods, and some planktonic organisms. Spawning occurs in the summer.Dog snappers (Lutjanus jocu) are fished commercially and collected for the aquarium trade. Adults are found to inhabit rocky areas and coral reefs while young are found in estuaries, mangrove areas, and occasionally rivers. Dog snappers feed on fish and benthic invertebrates including shrimp, crabs, gastropods, and cephalopods. The lane snapper (Lutjanus synagris) is fished both recreationally and commercially as well as 

collected for the aquarium trade. Lane snappers are found around coral reefs, mangrove estuaries, and seagrass flats. Food sources include small fish, bottom-living crabs, shrimp, worms, gastropods, and cephalopods. Spawning begins as early as March and lasts through September. The black grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci) is fished commercially and recreationally as well as 

being collected for the aquarium trade. Habitats for adults include rocky areas, mangroves, and coral reefs. Food sources include fish and crustaceans. 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
include fish, cephalopods, and benthic crustaceans. Spawning takes place from April through 

August.The gag grouper (Mycteroperca microlepsis) is fished both commercially and recreationally. 

Typically, gag grouper are found offshore on and around coral reefs ranging from 60 to 300 feet in depth. However, juvenile gag groupers can be found in estuaries and seagrass beds. Juvenile gags primarily feed on crustaceans living in shallow grass beds. The scamp (Mycteroperca phenax) is fished both commercially and recreationally. Habitats 

include high-relief rocky bottoms and ledges as adults and shallow water estuaries and mangrove areas as juveniles. Food sources include crabs, shrimp, and fish. Atlantic spadefish (Chaetopidterus faber) are fished recreationally and commercially to a smaller 

extent and are also collected for the aquarium trade. The Atlantic spadefish is found in mangroves, sandy beach areas, wrecks, and harbors as adults. Juveniles are common in estuaries. Food sources include sponges, plants, worms, crabs, and lobsters. Sheepshead (Archosargus probatocephalus) are fished commercially and recreationally as well as collected for aquariums. Habitats include bays and estuaries, brackish waters, and sometimes freshwater. Sheepshead feed on mollusks and crustaceans. 4.5.2 RED DRUM Red drums (Sciaenops ocellatus) use a variety of estuarine and oceanic habitats throughout their 

life cycle. Red drum are highly estuarine-dependent and can even be found in freshwater habitats. The red drum is fished recreationally and commercially (to a small extent) as well as collected for the aquarium trade. Habitat for juveniles includes tidal freshwater habitats, lowsalinity reaches of estuaries, estuarine emergent vegetated wetlands (flooded salt marshes, brackish marsh, and tidal creeks), estuarine scrub/shrub (mangrove fringe), submerged aquatic vegetation, oyster reefs and shell banks, and unconsolidated bottom. Food sources include crustaceans, mollusks, and fish. Spawning occurs from early fall to late winter. 4.5.3 PENAEID SHRIMPEstuarine emergent wetlands along with several other habitats are identified as EFH for Penaeid shrimp. The Penaeid shrimp include three species: brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus), white 

shrimp (Penaeus duorarum), and pink shrimp (Penaeus setiferus). Larvae of these species are 

part of the oceanic plankton until they reach the second post-larval stage where they migrate to estuaries and settle to the bottom. The shrimp live in estuaries until they reach the adult stage where they move out into the ocean to spawn. In the estuaries, theses three species of shrimp feed on plant and animal material. 4.5.4 COASTAL SHARKS Coastal sharks are designated as HMS by NMFS since these species are found throughout the 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
typically feed on small schooling fishes along with other bony fishes and some elasmobranch 

species, squids and other cephalopods, mollusks, and crustaceans. Females of some species use inshore estuarine areas as a place to give birth. Young sharks of several species use estuarine areas as nurseries. 4.5.5 COASTAL MIGRATORY PELAGICS Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) is managed by the SAFMC and can be found in estuarine emergent wetlands. This species is found world-wide in a variety of habitats in tropical, subtropical and temperate waters. Cobia is fished mainly recreationally with a small commercial catch. Cobia habitat includes mud, sand, and gravel bottom areas, coral reefs, rocky shores, mangrove sloughs, around pilings and buoys, and estuaries. Food sources include crabs, fish, and squid. Spawning takes place from late June to mid-August in estuaries and shallow bays [Florida Museum of Natural History (FLMNH), 2003]. 4.5.6 SMALLTOOTH SAWFISH The smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) is a federally listed endangered species under the jurisdiction of NMFS. It is a tropical marine and estuarine elasmobranch fish that has a circumtropical distribution. Sawfish species inhabit shallow coastal waters of tropical seas and estuaries throughout the world. Juvenile smalltooth sawfish generally inhabit the shallow coastal waters of bays, banks, estuaries, and river mouths, particularly shallow mud banks and mangrove habitats. Smaller smalltooth sawfish (<39 inches) spend the vast majority of their time on mud or sand banks that are less than 1 foot in depth and/or in red mangrove prop root habitat. It is believed that the shallow depth and structured prop root habitat are important in restricting the access of predators and increasing survival. As the fish become larger, the association with shallow water is weaker, possibly because they are better suited for predator avoidance. However, they still have a preference for shallow water, remaining mostly in depths less than five feet. Larger animals can be found in the same habitat, but are also found offshore in deeper shelf waters (>200 feet) (NMFS, 2006). Sawfish get their name from their "saws"—long, flat snouts edged with pairs of teeth which are used to locate, stun, and kill prey. Their diet includes mostly fish, but also includes some crustaceans. Smalltooth sawfish commonly reach 18 feet in length, and may grow to 25 feet. Little is known about the life history of these animals, but they may live up to 25-30 years, maturing after about 10 years (NFMS 2006). The smalltooth sawfish was considered for this assessment due to the potential presence of the species in the hydrologically-connected canal system and the potential use of mangroves in the Proposed Action study area as nursery habitat for sawfish juveniles.

Section 5 EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED ACTION ON 

ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT AND MANAGED SPECIES

The following sections discuss the potential effects of the Proposed Action on EFH and SAFMC managed species potentially found in the Proposed Action study area, including direct effects, possible cumulative effects, and conceptual mitigation for unavoidable impacts. 5.1 DIRECT EFFECTS Direct effects are typically those caused by the action and occur at the same time and place as the action. Direct effects of the Proposed Action include unavoidable impacts to mangrove wetlands designated as EFH as well as potential effects on SAFMC managed species and the federally protected smalltooth sawfish that potentially utilize the impacted EFH. 5.1.1 IMPACTS TO WETLANDS DESIGNATED AS ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT Wetland jurisdictional delineations for the Proposed Action study area were conducted during the months of April and May 2008. The entire Loop 11 segment, access roads, and ancillary facilities were investigated by FGT for wetland and other environmental characteristics. Wetlands within the study area are identified in figures 2a-2e. The basis for wetland delineations for this project was obtained from the 1987 U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Rule 62-340, Florida Administrative Code (FAC). Wetland jurisdictional boundaries were marked with flag pins or flagging tape and GPS coordinates were marked using a Trimble Ranger TSC2 with sub-foot accuracy. An ArcView Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program was used to calculate total wetland impact acres based on the construction limits of the proposed pipeline route. A Wetland Assessment Technique for Environmental Review (WATER) analysis was performed to identify the functional loss scores for wetland impacts. The WATER analysis is the accepted methodology for the Everglades Mitigation Bank (see Section 5.1.4 below for further discussion on conceptual mitigation). Table 5.1 below identifies the impacts to wetlands from the Proposed Action along with the WATER assessment functional loss scores. The final review of the functional loss scores will be conducted by the FDEP and the USACE.

The Proposed Action would result in 33.83 acres of total temporary construction impacts on relatively low-to-moderate quality EFH wetlands including 31.40 acres of Estuarine Scrub-Shrub mangroves and 2.43 acres of Palustrine/Estuarine Emergent wetlands. A temporary conversion of the scrub shrub mangrove wetlands to herbaceous wetlands is assumed. No permanent impact 

is calculated for this temporary conversion of herbaceous or scrub shrub systems due to anticipated regrowth of vegetation and recovery of these systems. There would be one permanent fill impact area located at the southern end of the Project at MP 17.84, due to the construction of a tie-in valve structure. The impact would total 0.07 acres of fill in palustrine emergent wetlands in the low quality transition area at the southern terminus of the Project just north of an east/west canal. The use of HDD methodology would avoid direct impacts on the canals within the Project limits. Additionally, silt fencing will be placed to prevent sediments from entering adjacent wetland and open water habitats.

5.1.2 EFFECTS ON MANAGED SPECIES 

The mangrove habitat within the Proposed Action study area spans the width of the FPL ROW and was previously disturbed during construction and maintenance of the FPL infrastructure. It is important to note that the mangrove habitat located in the study area is considered low quality when compared to other mangrove habitat that exists in the surrounding region. Buttonwoods are the dominant plant species in the study area mangrove habitat and this species is typically found in transitional wetland areas between mangrove and upland areas. Buttonwood is not considered a “true” mangrove species as it does not meet the strict mangrove definition proposed by Tomlinson (1986). The study area also contains exotic, nuisance, and invasive species and is located within the FPL ROW, so can be considered disturbed. Additionally, the mangrove habitat is not typically inundated with water levels high enough or for 

long enough periods of time to support fish. Flood control structures in the adjacent canals, berms, fill, exotic plants, and power line infrastructure are present and provide barriers preventing water from reaching the study area. Overland sheet flow/runoff provides a freshwater component to the system that lowers the salinity to the area resulting in a low-quality environment for marine fish species. Similar habitat adjacent to the project area and adjacent to the western bank of the 

L-31 Canal will be available for any fish that may be present in the project area. Additionally, higher quality habitat is present to the east, on the opposite side of the L-31 Canal and adjacent to Biscayne Bay. This habitat will be available for any fish that may be located in or adjacent to the construction activities. Due to the temporary nature of the proposed construction and the availability of higher-quality mangrove habitat in adjacent areas, impacts to the EFH and the species that utilize mangrove habitat, are expected to be minimal. The proposed pipeline is not expected to cross estuarine emergent marsh EFH. However, some components of estuarine emergent marsh vegetation may be interspersed within the mangrove habitat. As stated previously, flood control structures in the adjacent canals, berms, fill, exotic plants, and power lines are present and provide barriers for water to reach the study area. As a result, the estuarine emergent marsh habitats on site do not contain high enough water levels to support fish. On occasion, a large flood or storm event may bring brackish water from the canals and adjacent habitat into the area providing limited support to fish species. The habitat, after construction, would be returned to grade and similar hydrologic conditions and habitat would be expected to return. Due to the temporary nature of the proposed construction and the availability of higher quality habitat in adjacent areas, impacts to the EFH and the species that utilize estuarine emergent marsh habitat are expected to be minimal. The L-31 Canal, which is adjacent to the study area, contains large numbers of exotic fish species including tilapia (Tilapia mariae and Oreochromis aureus), South American cichlids 

(Chiclasoma sp.), peacock bass (Cichla sp.), oscars (Astronotus ocellatus), and suckermouth 

catfish (Hypostomus sp.). These species are typically freshwater fish and as a result, provide evidence that the canals are most likely freshwater and do not contain a high enough salinity to support most estuarine/marine managed fish species. Runoff from adjacent areas to the west

in the estuarine water column is low. Additionally, construction methodologies such as HDD 

would be utilized to avoid direct impacts to the canals. As a result, minimal impacts, if any, to the estuarine water column and those species utilizing the habitat would be expected. Tidal freshwater marshes occur in the uppermost portion of estuaries between the oligohaline (low salinity of 0.5 to 5 ppt) zone and nontidal freshwater wetlands. The study area contains small areas of palustrine (freshwater) emergent marsh. The proposed pipeline would cross approximately 147 linear feet of freshwater marsh habitat. This habitat contains vegetation that includes sawgrass, arrowhead (Sagitaria latifolia), torpedograss, cattails, and Brazilian pepper. 

The habitats are located along the banks of canals and in the higher elevation along the FPL ROW within the mangrove habitat. The area, due to its higher elevation and location, does not contain water levels high enough to support fish species. Even with a flood or large storm event, the areas are not likely to become highly inundated. As a result, EFH managed fish species are not anticipated to be present in the freshwater marshes located in the project area. Therefore, no significant adverse impacts are expected on managed species from construction activities in the freshwater marsh habitats. 5.1.3 EFFECTS ON THE SMALLTOOTH SAWFISH The Proposed Action would impact 31.40 acres of Estuarine Scrub-Shrub mangroves that could possibly be utilized by the federally listed smalltooth sawfish as nursery habitat for juveniles. Despite these mangroves being hydrologically connected to the L-31 canal system by way of culverts, field observation suggests that these mangrove areas do not maintain sufficient water levels and have too much vegetative ground cover and debris to support smalltooth sawfish beyond the mouths of the individual culverts. Flood control structures in the adjacent canals, berms, fill, exotic plants, and support for power lines are present and provide barriers preventing water from reaching the Proposed Action study area. Overland sheet flow/runoff provides a freshwater component to the system that lowers the salinity to the area resulting in a low-quality environment for marine fish species. The mouths of the culverts exhibit depths suitable for juvenile sawfish (1-2 feet), but offer very limited habitat along the route. Since the mangrove and buttonwood communities along the proposed route appear to have very limited tidal connection it is highly unlikely that smalltooth sawfish use these areas for foraging and/or nursery habitat for juveniles.Similar habitat adjacent to the project area and adjacent to the western bank of the L-31 Canal would be available for use by the smalltooth sawfish. Additionally, higher quality habitat is present to the east, on the opposite side of the L-31 Canal and adjacent to Biscayne Bay. This habitat will also be available for smalltooth sawfish beyond the Proposed Action construction area.The water column within the project area contains very low salinity as shown by the presence of freshwater exotic species. Runoff from adjacent areas to the west most likely brings high levels of freshwater to the area. As a result, the habitat does not contain enough salinity to support many estuarine/marine managed fish

including smalltooth sawfish

described as relating to the “magnitude or extent of the impact (i.e. they must be small and not 

rise to the level of a take of a species)” and also that a person “would not be able to meaningfully measure, detect, or evaluate insignificant effects.” Consistent with these guidelines, potential effects to the smalltooth sawfish from the Proposed Action would be considered insignificant. This determination is based on the minimal effect, if any, that the Proposed Action would have on the foraging and spawning behavior of the sawfish due to the limited impact to areas accessible to the sawfish, the low quality of the affected mangroves relative to habitat in surrounding areas, and the conceptual mitigation proposed for unavoidable wetland impacts. In addition, NMFS’ Smalltooth Sawfish construction conditions would be used during the construction of the Proposed Action to minimize any potential involvement with the species. Since the potential effects to the sawfish from the Proposed Action would be considered insignificant and never reach a level of a “take” for the species, the Proposed Action “May Affect but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect” the smalltooth sawfish. 5.2 CONCEPTUAL MITIGATION FOR PROPOSED ACTION IMPACTSSeveral measures have been incorporated into the Project to avoid and minimize impacts to EFH and SAFMC managed species. An alternatives analysis was completed and involved evaluating two different routes for the Loop 11 segment. The preferred route chosen (Proposed Action) is at a greater distance from the hydrologic connection to the L-31 Canal and Biscayne Bay than the original route proposed, and consists of lower-quality mangroves and lower water levels. In addition, the western portion of FPL ROW contains an access road, which further limits the quality of the EFH. As a result, the Proposed Action would meet the Project goals and avoids and minimizes environmental impacts as much as possible while maintaining a practicable project. Other avoidance measures include utilizing certain construction methodologies to minimize impact. HDD methodologies would avoid direct impacts to the canals located on site and are expected to avoid impacts to fish that may be present within the canals. Additionally, silt fencing would be placed to prevent sediments from entering adjacent wetland and open water habitats. Although it is assumed that minimal impacts to EFH would be expected from the proposed project, compensation for all impacts to mangrove habitat would be obtained offsite at the Everglades Mitigation Bank. This mitigation would be provided in order to ensure that all functional losses due to the proposed project are compensated for even though the mangroves located outside the permanently maintained ROW would be allowed to recover to a maximum allowable height of 15 feet. A WATER analysis was completed which is the accepted methodology for the Everglades Mitigation Bank. Based on the calculations from the WATER analysis, 1.35 credits from the Everglades Mitigation Bank would be obtained. The mitigation is expected to compensate for the unavoidable impacts to mangrove wetlands designated as EFH as a result of the Proposed Action.5.3 CUMULATIVE EFFECTS 

Document Accession #: 20090409-4001 Filed Date: 04/17/2009
CEQ guidance in considering cumulative effects involves defining the scope of the other actions 

and their interrelationships with the proposed project. The scope must consider geographical and temporal overlap among the proposed project and other actions. It must also evaluate the other actions at the time of the overlap.Development projects in the area surrounding the Proposed Action have resulted in modification to the existing landscape. For the purposes of this assessment, the geographical extent used to assess cumulative effects is the South Dade planning unit developed by FDEP and referred to in FDEP’s 2006 Water Quality Assessment Report for the Biscayne-Bay Southeast Coast Watershed. Planning units help organize information and management strategies around prominent geopolitical areas, subbasin characteristics, and drainage features. The South Dade planning unit includes drainage basins in southern Miami-Dade County that discharge to the southern part of Biscayne Bay. The 413-square-mile area extends south of the C-4/Snapper Creek Canal basin and east of the Everglades National Park as far as Biscayne Bay. It includes the predominantly agricultural drainage basins of the C-100/Cutler Drain Canal, C-1/Black Creek Canal, C-102/Princeton Canal, C-103/Mowry Canal, plus Homestead/Military Canal, Florida City, and Model Land basins. Table 5-2 below summarizes some past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects considered for this assessment along with notes on expected impacts and mitigation, if available.

However, agricultural and urban/residential land uses apply to much of the land area. Agricultural land uses cover approximately 27 percent of the area, composed mainly of row crops, groves, ornamental nurseries, and field crops. Urban/residential land uses cover approximately 23 percent of the South Dade planning unit, with low and medium-density residential development covering the bulk (17 percent). Inflows to the main canals from outside of this planning unit are from the water conservation areas (FDEP 2006). Water quality and EFH within coastal areas of the South Dade Planning unit have been affected due to extensive agricultural use in the region. Over the last several years, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) has worked with agriculturists, soil and water conservation entities, the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, and other major interests on a system for implementing agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs), while at the same time promoting water quality and water conservation objectives. The majority of past and present projects in Table 5-2 that have resulted in impacts to wetlands and/or EFH have been mitigated for either onsite or within the affected watershed, thereby reducing the cumulative effect of wetland impacts in the region. The Proposed Action also plans on mitigating for wetland impacts within the same affected watershed by purchasing 1.35 credits at the nearby FPL Everglades Mitigation Bank. Reasonably foreseeable Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) projects have the potential to improve the quality of wetlands and EFH in the Proposed Action project area as well as in surrounding areas within the South-Dade Planning unit by improving water quality, timing, and distribution within the watershed.

Section 6 CONCLUSION

Of the fourteen loops proposed for construction under the FGT Phase VIII Expansion Project, only one, Loop 11, is proposed to cross EFH habitat. Minimization and avoidance measures were taken during planning to minimize impacts to the EFH habitat and any managed species that may be present along the proposed Loop 11 segment. The modified-original route chosen as the Proposed Action meets the overall goals of the project and is determined to be the most practicable and environmentally favorable route for placement of the Loop 11 segment. The Proposed Action would result in 33.83 acres of total temporary construction impacts to wetlands including 31.40 acres of estuarine scrub-shrub mangroves, and 2.43 acres of estuarine/palustrine emergent wetlands. The total estimated permanent impacts to EFH from the Proposed Action include only the 0.07 acre of fill to palustrine emergent wetlands at the southern tie-in valve structure as a result of the Proposed Action. The other impacts to scrub shrub mangrove wetlands would be temporary and revert to pre-construction vegetative conditions. A total of 1.35 WATER Assessment mitigation credits are required for mitigation for these unavoidable temporary impacts to scrub/shrub mangrove EFH. A total of 1.35 WATER mitigation credits would be purchased from the FPL Everglades Mitigation Bank to compensate for these impacts. The EFH present exhibits minimal hydrologic connections as compared to other habitat that exists in the surrounding region. Exotic, nuisance, and invasive species are common throughout the habitats. The overall hydrologic conditions, inundation and duration of the Proposed Action study areas are limited and would not typically support managed fish species. Utilizing HDD methodologies would avoid direct impacts to the canals located within this segment. Additionally, silt fencing would be placed to prevent sediments from entering adjacent wetland and open water habitats. As a result, no significant adverse effects are expected to SAFMC managed species from the Proposed Action. Potential effects to the federally-endangered smalltooth sawfish from the Proposed Action would be considered insignificant. This determination is based on the minimal effect, if any, that the Proposed Action would have on the foraging and spawning behavior of the sawfish due to the limited impact to areas accessible to the sawfish, the low quality of the affected mangroves relative to habitat in surrounding areas, and the conceptual mitigation proposed for unavoidable wetland impacts. In addition, NMFS’ Smalltooth Sawfish construction conditions would be used during the construction of the Proposed Action to minimize any potential involvement with the species. Since the potential effects to the sawfish from the Proposed Action would be considered insignificant and never reach a level of a “take” for the species, the Proposed Action “May Affect but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect” the smalltooth sawfish. Impacts to wetlands and EFH from other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects have either already been mitigated, or, through the environmental resource permitting process are

Due to the minimal impacts expected from the Proposed Action, the higher quality EFH that 

exists in adjacent areas, FGT’s proposed construction methods (including its Plan and Procedures), routing adjacent to existing rights-of-way in previously disturbed areas, and the mitigation proposed, no significant adverse impacts to EFH or managed species are expected to result from the Proposed Action.
