Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP15–549–000] 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review of the SM–80 MAOP 

Restoration Project 

On September 2, 2015, Columbia Gas 

Transmission, LLC (Columbia) filed an 

application in Docket No. CP15–549– 

000 requesting a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity pursuant to 

Sections 7(c) and 7(b) of the Natural Gas 

Act to abandon, construct, and operate 

certain natural gas pipeline facilities in 

Wayne County, West Virginia. The 

proposed project is known as the SM– 

80 MAOP Restoration Project (Project) 

and would restore the maximum 

allowable operating pressure of part of 

the SM–80 system. 

On September 15, 2015, the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice 

of Application for the Project. Among 

other things, that notice alerted agencies 

issuing federal authorizations of the 

requirement to complete all necessary 

reviews and to reach a final decision on 

a request for a federal authorization 

within 90 days of the date of issuance 

of the Commission staff’s Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the Project. This 

instant notice identifies the FERC staff’s 

planned schedule for the completion of 

the EA for the Project. 

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA—5/18/16 

90-Day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline—8/16/16 

If a schedule change becomes 

necessary, additional notice will be 

provided so that the relevant agencies 

are kept informed of the Project’s 

progress. 

Project Description 

Columbia proposes to abandon in 

place about 3.3 miles of 30-inchdiameter pipeline and associated 

aboveground appurtenances located on 

its existing SM–80 natural gas 

transmission system located in Wayne 

County, West Virginia. This section 

would be abandoned due to its age and 

condition. Columbia would also 

construct about 3.9 miles of 30-inchdiameter pipeline to replace the 

abandoned pipeline. The new pipeline 

would be co-located with the existing 

SM–80 Loop 1 and other existing 

easements for 3.8 of the 3.9 miles. 

Background 

On October 15, 2015, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed SM–80 MAOP Restoration 

Project and Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues (NOI). The NOI 

was sent to affected landowners; federal, 

state, and local government agencies; 

elected officials; environmental and 

public interest groups; Native American 

tribes; other interested parties; and local 

libraries and newspapers. In response to 

the NOI, the Commission received 

comments from two landowners. The 

primary issues raised by the 

commentors are the potential for soil 

and water contamination, impacts on 

wildlife, air, and noise, and cumulative 

impacts. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

all formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets, the Commission offers 

a free service called eSubscription. This 

can reduce the amount of time you 

spend researching proceedings by 

automatically providing you with 

notification of these filings, document 

summaries, and direct links to the 

documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/docsfiling/esubscription.asp. 

Additional information about the 

Project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs 

at (866) 208–FERC or on the FERC Web 

site (www.ferc.gov). Using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link, select ‘‘General Search’’ 

from the eLibrary menu, enter the 

selected date range and ‘‘Docket 

Number’’ excluding the last three digits 

(i.e., CP15–549), and follow the

to eLibrary, the helpline can be reached 

at (866) 208–3676, TTY (202) 502–8659, 

or at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. The

documents issued by the Commission, 

such as orders, notices, and rule 

makings.
