DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP97–656–000]

Texas Gas Transmission Corporation;

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Assessment for the

Proposed North Louisiana Expansion

Project and Request for Comments on

Environmental Issues

September 8, 1997.

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 construction and operation of an

additional 4,600 horsepower (hp) of

compression at the existing Haughton

Compression Station, proposed in the

North Louisiana Expansion Project.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.

Summary of the Proposed Project

Texas Gas Transmission Corporation

(Texas Gas) proposes to expand the

capacity of its facilities in Louisiana to

transport an additional 105,000 million

British thermal units per day of firm

natural gas service to a new customer.

Texas Gas seeks authority to construct

and operate a 4,600 hp Dresser-Rand

reciprocating compressor unit and

associated equipment at its existing

Haughton Compressor Station in Bossier

Parish, Louisiana.

The location of the project facilities is

shown in appendix 1.2 If you are

interested in obtaining procedural

information, please write to the

Secretary of the Commission.

Land Requirements for Construction

Texas Gas owns the 28.54 acre

Haughton Compressor Station site.

Construction and operation of the

proposed project would require a total

of 10.5 acres, all of which would be

within the existing site.

The EA Process

The National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to

take into account the environmental

impacts that could result from an action

whenever it considers the issuance of a

Certificate of Public Convenience and

Necessity. NEPA also requires us to

discover and address concerns the

public may have about proposals. We

call this ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the

scoping process is to focus the analysis

in the EA on the important

environmental issues. By this Notice of

Intent, the Commission requests public

comments on the scope of the issues it

will address in the EA. All comments

received are considered during the

preparation of the EA. State and local

government representatives are
