This notice is being 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; all of which are 

encouraged to submit comments on the 

proposed Project. Details on how to 

submit comments are provided in the 

Public Participation section of this 

notice. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, you may be contacted by a MEP 

representative about the acquisition of 

an easement to construct, operate, and 

maintain the proposed Project facilities. 

The pipeline company would seek to 

negotiate a mutually acceptable 

agreement. However, if the Project is 

approved by the FERC, that approval 

conveys with it the right of eminent 

domain. Therefore, if easement 

negotiations fail to produce an 

agreement, the pipeline company could 

initiate condemnation proceedings in 

accordance with state law. 

A fact sheet prepared by the FERC 

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas 

Facility on My Land? What Do I Need 

To Know?’’ is available for viewing on 

the FERC Internet Web site (http:// 

www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet addresses 

a number of typically asked questions, 

including the use of eminent domain 

and how to participate in the FERC’s 

proceedings. 

Summary of the Proposed Project 

MEP proposes to construct, own and 

operate approximately 494 miles of new 

30-, 36-, and 42-inch-diameter interstate 

natural gas transmission pipeline, a total 

of approximately 111,420 horsepower 

(hp) of compression at one booster and 

four new mainline compressor stations, 

and related appurtenant facilities 

located in portions of Oklahoma, 

northeast Texas, northern Louisiana, 

central Mississippi, and Alabama. The 

proposed pipeline route identified by 

MEP would extend from a receipt point 

with existing pipeline infrastructure 

near Bennington in Bryan County, 

Oklahoma, to an interconnect with the 

existing Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 

Company system near Butler in 

Choctaw County, Alabama. The general 

location of the proposed pipeline is 

shown in the figure included as 

Appendix 1.2

Specifically, the MEP Project facilities 

under FERC jurisdiction would include 

the following: 

• Approximately 40 miles of 30-inchdiameter pipeline in Bryan County, 

Oklahoma, and Fannin and Lamar 

Counties, Texas; 

• Approximately 257 miles of 42- 

inch-diameter pipeline in Lamar, Red 

River, Franklin, Titus, Morris, and Cass 

Counties, Texas, and Caddo, Bossier, 

Webster, Claiborne, Lincoln, Union, 

Ouachita, Morehouse, Richland, and 

Madison Parishes, Louisiana; 

• Approximately 197 miles of 36- 

inch-diameter pipeline in Madison 

Parish, Louisiana, and Warren, Hinds, 

Rankin, Simpson, Smith, Jasper, Clarke, 

Counties, Mississippi, and Choctaw 

County, Alabama; 

• Four new mainline and one booster, 

natural gas-fired compressor stations, 

including: 

—A new 38,555 hp compressor station 

at Milepost (MP) 43.9 in Lamar 

County, Texas; 

—A new 12,270 hp compressor station 

at MP 131.7 in Cass County, Texas; 

—A new 32,720 hp compressor station 

at MP 249.7 in Union Parish, 

Louisiana; 

—A new 18,405 hp compressor station 

at MP 346.1 in Warren County, 

Mississippi; 

—A new 9,470 hp booster compressor 

station at MP 300.6 in Madison 

Parish, Louisiana; 

• Meter stations at up to 13 

interconnects with existing pipeline 

infrastructure in Bryan County, 

Oklahoma; Lamar and Cass Counties, 

Texas; Ouachita, Richland, and Madison 

Parishes, Louisiana; Hinds, Smith, 

Jasper, and Clarke Counties, 

Mississippi; and Choctaw County, 

Alabama; 

• Various pig 3 launching and 

receiving facilities; and 

• 29 mainline valves. 

MEP indicates that the proposed 

Project facilities would provide longhaul takeaway capacity to facilitate the 

transport of natural gas from production 

areas in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas 

to markets in the Southeast, Northeast 

and Midwest regions of the United 

States that can be accessed through 

interconnects with existing pipeline 

infrastructure. The Project would 

consist of two capacity zones. The 

initial transport capacity of Zone 1, 

which would include the 30- and 42- 

inch-diameter portions of the pipeline 

facilities, would be 1.4 billion cubic feet 

of natural gas per day (Bcf/d). However, 

additional supporting contracts could 

provide for expansion of the Zone 1 

transport capacity to 1.5 Bcf/d. Zone 2, 

which would include the balance of the 

pipeline facilities, would have a 

transport capacity of 1.2 Bcf/d. 

MEP proposes to place the first 40 

miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline in 

service by October 31, 2008, with the 

remainder of the pipeline constructed 

and operational by February 2009. 

Land Requirements for Construction 

As proposed, the typical construction 

right-of-way for the Project pipeline 

would be 100 feet wide for the 30-inchdiameter portion of the pipeline and 125 

feet wide for the 36-inch and 42-inchdiameter portions of the pipeline. 

Following construction, MEP would 

retain a 50-foot-wide permanent rightof-way for operation of the Project. 

Additionally, temporary extra 


cprice-sewell on DSK89S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 86 / Friday, May 4, 2007 / Notices 25295 

workspaces beyond the typical 

construction right-of-way limits would 

also be required at certain feature 

crossings (e.g., roads, railroads, 

wetlands, or waterbodies), in areas with 

steep side slopes, in association with 

special construction techniques, or at 

pipe storage and contractor yards. In 

residential areas, wetlands, and other 

sensitive areas, the construction rightof-way width would be reduced as 

necessary to protect homeowners and 

environmental resources. Following 

construction, all temporary workspaces 

(including the temporary construction 

rights-of-way and extra workspaces) 

would be restored and allowed to revert 

to its former use. 

The EIS Process 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to 

take into account the environmental 

impacts that could result from the 

approval of an interstate natural gas 

pipeline. The FERC will use the EIS to 

consider the environmental impact that 

could result if the Project is authorized 

under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act. 

NEPA also requires us to discover and 

address concerns the public may have 

about proposals to be considered by the 

Commission. This process is referred to 

as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the 

scoping process is to focus the analysis 

in the EIS on the important 

environmental issues. With this Notice 

of Intent, the Commission staff is 

requesting public comments on the 

scope of the issues to be addressed in 

the EIS. All comments received will be 

considered during preparation of the 

EIS. 

In the EIS we will discuss impacts 

that could occur as a result of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed Project under these general 

headings: 

• Geology and soils; 

• Water resources; 

• Wetlands and vegetation; 

• Fish and wildlife; 

• Threatened and endangered 

species; 

• Land use, recreation, and visual 

resources; 

• Air quality and noise; 

• Cultural resources; 

• Socioeconomics; 

• Reliability and safety; and 

• Cumulative impacts. 

In the EIS, we will also evaluate 

possible alternatives to the proposed 

Project or portions of the Project, and 

make recommendations on how to 

lessen or avoid impacts on affected 

resources. 

Our independent analysis of the 

issues will be included in a Draft EIS. 

The Draft EIS will be mailed to Federal, 

State, and local government agencies; 

elected officials; environmental and 

public interest groups; Native American 

tribes; affected landowners; 

commentors; other interested parties; 

local libraries and newspapers; and the 

FERC’s official service list for this 

proceeding. A 45-day comment period 

will be allotted for review of the Draft 

EIS. We will consider all comments on 

the Draft EIS and revise the document, 

as necessary, before issuing a Final EIS. 

We will consider all comments on the 

Final EIS before we make our 

recommendations to the Commission. 

To ensure that your comments are 

considered, please follow the 

instructions in the Public Participation 

section of this notice. 

Although no formal application has 

been filed, the FERC staff has already 

initiated its NEPA review under the 

Commission’s Pre-filing Process. The 

purpose of the Pre-filing Process is to 

encourage the early involvement of 

interested stakeholders and to identify 

and resolve issues before an application 

is filed with the FERC. 

With this notice, we are asking 

Federal, State, and local governmental 

agencies with jurisdiction and/or 

special expertise with respect to 

environmental issues, especially those 

identified in Appendix 2, to express 

their interest in becoming cooperating 

agencies for the preparation of the EIS. 

These agencies may choose to 

participate once they have evaluated the 

proposal relative to their 

responsibilities. Agencies that would 

like to request cooperating status should 

follow the instructions for filing 

comments provided in Appendix 2. 

Currently Identified Environmental 

Issues 

The EIS will discuss impacts that 

could occur as a result of construction 

and operation of the proposed Project. 

We have already identified several 

issues that we think deserve attention 

based on a preliminary review of the 

Project site and the facility information 

provided by MEP. This preliminary list 

of issues may be changed based on your 

comments and our analysis. 

• Potential impacts to water 

resources, including groundwater and 

perennial and intermittent waterbodies. 

• Evaluation of temporary and 

permanent impacts on wetlands and 

development of appropriate mitigation. 

• Potential impacts to fish and 

wildlife habitat, including potential 

impacts to federal and state-listed 

threatened and endangered species. 

• Potential impacts to natural 

vegetative communities, including 

native prairie and forestland. 

• Potential effects on prime farmland 

soils and soils with a high potential for 

compaction or erosion. 

• Potential impacts to existing land 

uses, including agricultural and 

managed forested lands. 

• Potential impacts to recreation and 

special interest areas, including 

Wetland Reserve Program lands and the 

Natchez Trace Parkway. 

• Potential impacts to residential 

areas and planned developments. 

• Potential disruption to area 

businesses associated with construction. 

• Potential visual effects of the 

pipeline easement and aboveground 

facilities on surrounding areas. 

• Potential impacts to local air and 

noise quality associated with 

construction and operation. 

• Potential impacts to cultural 

resources and Native American lands. 

• Public safety and hazards 

associated with the transport of natural 

gas. 

• Alternative alignments for the 

pipeline route and alternative sites for 

the compressor stations. 

• Assessment of the effect of the 

proposed Project when combined with 

other past, present, or reasonably 

foreseeable future actions in the Project 

area, including the potential cumulative 

effect of collocating multiple utility 

rights-of-way. 

Public Participation 

You can make a difference by 

providing us with your specific 

comments or concerns about the 

proposed Project. By becoming a 

commentor, your concerns will be 

addressed in the EIS and considered by 

the Commission. Your comments 

should focus on the potential 

environmental effects, reasonable 

alternatives (including alternative 

facility sites and pipeline routes), and 

measures to avoid or lessen 

environmental impact. The more 

specific your comments, the more useful 

they will be. To ensure that your 

comments are timely and properly 

recorded, please carefully follow these

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP07–89–000] 

Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, 

Inc.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed North Welda Storage Field 

Expansion Project and Request for 

Comments on Environmental Issues 

April 30, 2007. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the North Welda Storage Field 

Expansion Project involving 

construction and operation of facilities 

by Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, 

Inc. (Southern Star) in and to an existing 

gas storage field in Anderson County, 

Kansas.1 This EA will be used by the 

Commission in its decision-making 

process to determine whether the 

project is in the public convenience and 

necessity. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, you may be contacted by a 

pipeline company representative about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

proposed facilities. The pipeline 

company would seek to negotiate a 

mutually acceptable agreement. 

However, if the project is approved by 

the Commission, that approval conveys 

with it the right of eminent domain. 

Therefore, if easement negotiations fail 

to produce an agreement, the pipeline 

company could initiate condemnation 

proceedings in accordance with state 

law. 

A fact sheet prepared by the FERC 

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas 

Facility On My Land? What Do I Need 

To Know?’’ was attached to the project 

notice that Southern Star provided to 

landowners. This fact sheet addresses a 

number of typically asked questions, 

including the use of eminent domain 

and how to participate in the 

Commission’s proceedings. It is 

available for viewing on the FERC 

Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov). 

Summary of the Proposed Project 

Southern Star is proposing to: (1) 

Expand the existing certificated 

boundary and buffer zone of its existing 

storage field by acquiring certain 

property rights to approximately 1,240 

acres; (2) to redefine the cap rock of the
