Twin Lakes initiated an ILP by filing a notice of 

intention and preliminary application document for 

the Bear River Narrows Project on February 23, 

2007. 

2 In addition, on February 5, 2008, Twin Lakes 

filed an application for second preliminary permit 

for the Bear River Narrows Project (docketed Project 

No. 12486–002). Notice of the application was 

issued on April 8, 2008, and established June 9, 

2008, as the deadline for filing comments, protest, 

and motions to intervene. If PacifiCorp has 

concerns regarding Twin Lake’s second preliminary 

permit application, it should raise them in that 

proceeding.

Commission 

[Project No. 12486–003] 

Twin Lakes Canal Company; Notice 

Dismissing Request for Rehearing 

May 1, 2008. 

On March 10, 2008, the Secretary 

issued a notice dismissing as moot a 

motion filed by PacifiCorp on October 

24, 2007, seeking, inter alia, to cancel a 

preliminary permit issued to Twin 

Lakes Canal Company (Twin Lakes) for 

the proposed Bear River Narrows Project 

No. 12486, to be located on the Bear 

River in Franklin County, Idaho. The 

notice explained that the request to 

cancel the preliminary permit was moot 

because the permit had expired. On 

April 3, 2008, PacifiCorp filed a request 

for rehearing of the Secretary’s notice. 

On rehearing, PacifiCorp does not 

allege error with the conclusion that the 

request to cancel the permit was 

rendered moot when the permit expired. 

Instead, PacifiCorp argues, as it did in 

its October 24, 2007 motion, that Twin 

Lakes’ preparation of a license 

application using the Commission’s 

Integrated Licensing Process (ILP) 

should be terminated because Twin 

Lakes’ project would impermissibly 

conflict with PacifiCorp’s upstream 

licensed Bear River Project No. 20.1

The Secretary’s March 10, 2008 notice 

dismissed PacifiCorp’s motion only to 

the extent that it sought cancellation of 

Twin Lakes’ permit. It took no action 

with respect to the other arguments 

raised by PacifiCorp in its filing, which 

remain in the public record of Project 

No. 12486 and will be considered in the 

context of the ILP.2

Accordingly, because PacifiCorp does 

not raise any issues or arguments 

relating to the mootness of its request to 

cancel the initial preliminary permit in 

Project No. 12486, its request for 

rehearing of the March 10, 2008 notice 

is dismissed. 

This notice constitutes final agency 

action. Requests for rehearing of this 

dismissal notice must be filed within 30 

days of the date of issuance of this 

notice, pursuant to 18 CFR 385.713 

(2007).

[Docket No. CP08–8–000] 

Leaf River Energy Center LLC; Notice 

of Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed Leaf 

River Storage Project 

April 30, 2008. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) on the 

natural gas pipeline facilities proposed 

by Leaf River Energy Center LLC (Leaf 

River) in the above-referenced docket. 

The EA was prepared to satisfy the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act. The FERC 

staff concludes that approval of the 

proposed project, with appropriate 

mitigating measures, would not 

constitute a major federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is 

a federal cooperating agency for the 

development of this EA. A federal 

cooperating agency has jurisdiction by 

law or special expertise with respect to 

the proposed action and participates in 

the NEPA analysis. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of Leaf 

River’s proposed Leaf River Storage 

(LRS) Project. The LRS Project would 

involve construction of the following 

facilities in Smith, Jasper, and Clarke 

Counties, Mississippi: 

• Four storage wells and caverns with 

a total working gas capacity of 32 billion 

cubic feet (Bcf); 

• Seven 4,800-horsepower gas driven 

reciprocating compressor units at its 

proposed compressor station/gas 

handling facility along with gas 

dehydration equipment; 

• Four water supply wells and four 

deep saltwater disposal wells, and 

construct a 16-inch-diameter water 

supply pipeline and a 16-inch-diameter 

saltwater disposal pipeline to these 

wells; 

• 6.6 miles of dual bi-directional 24- 

inch-diameter natural gas pipelines 

called the Dome Lateral; 

• The West-East Lateral which 

consists of a single 6.9 mile 24-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline to the 

west of the junction with the Dome 

Lateral and 30.2 miles of dual 24-inchdiameter natural gas pipelines to the 

east of the junction which would follow 

the corridor to be occupied by Gulf 

South Pipeline Company, LP’s 

Southeast Expansion Project currently 

under construction; 

• A fiber optic cable communication 

system from the gas handling facility 

along the header system to the 

interconnect locations to the cavern 

wells to transmit communications to 

operate the storage facility; 

• A fiber optic cable from the gas 

handling facility to the water supply 

wells and salt water disposal wells and 

to the cavern wells to transmit 

communications to develop the cavern 

wells; and 

• Four meter and regulator stations 

and five interstate gas transmission 

pipeline interconnections. 

The purpose of the project is to 

provide high-deliverability, multi-cycle 

natural gas storage services to multiple 

interstate gas transmission systems. 

The EA has been placed in the public 

files of the FERC. A limited number of 

copies of the EA are available for 

distribution and public inspection at: 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, 

NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,

easy method for interested persons to 

submit text only comments on a project. 

The Quick-Comment User Guide can be 

viewed at http://www.ferc.gov/docsfiling/efiling/quick-comment-guide.pdf. 

Quick Comment does not require a 

FERC eRegistration account; however, 

you will be asked to provide a valid email address. All comments submitted 

under either eFiling or the Quick 

Comment option are placed in the 

public record for the specified docket. 

If you are filing written comments, 

please carefully follow these 

instructions to ensure that your 

comments are received in time and 

properly recorded: 

• Send an original and two copies of 

your comments to: Kimberly D. Bose,

proceeding. Any person seeking to 

become a party to the proceeding must 

file a motion to intervene pursuant to 

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedures (18 CFR
