Destin Pipeline Company, L.L.C. and

Southern Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Availability of the Final

Environmental Impact Statement for

the Proposed Destin Pipeline Project

November 6, 1997.

The staff of Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (FERC or Commission) has

prepared a final environmental impact

statement (FEIS) on the natural gas

pipeline facilities proposed by Destin

Pipeline Company, L.L.C. and Southern

Natural Gas Company in the abovereferenced dockets and referred to as the

Destin Pipeline Project.

The staff prepared the FEIS to satisfy

the requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act. The staff

concludes that approval of the proposed

project, with appropriate mitigating

measures, would have limited adverse

environmental impact.

The FEIS assesses the potential

environmental effects of the

construction and operation of the

following facilities in the central Gulf of

Mexico and Mississippi:

• a total of about 215.5 miles of 36–, 30–

, and 16-inch-diameter interstate pipeline,

consisting of 75.6 miles offshore pipeline and

139.9 miles of onshore pipeline;

• about 27,078 horsepower of new

compression at two new compressor stations;

• seven new meter stations; and

• associated aboveground facilities,

including a liquids slug catcher, and offshore

gathering platform, and a related

nonjurisdictional gas processing plant.

The purpose of the proposed facilities

is to transport up to 1 billion cubic feet

per day of natural gas from the

development of new offshore deepwater

production areas in the central Gulf of

Mexico to interconnections with six

major interstate pipelines in

Mississippi. The proposed facilities

would provide a new natural gas

transportation infrastructure that would

avoid the overburdened pipeline

systems in southeastern Louisiana.

The FEIS will be used in the

regulatory decision-making process at

the FERC and may be presented as

evidentiary material in formal hearings

at the FERC. While the period for filing

interventions in this case has expired,

motions to intervene out-of-time can be

filed with FERC in accordance with the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedures, 18 CFR 385.214(d). Further,

anyone desiring to file a protest with the

FERC should do so in accordance with

18 CFR 385.211.

The FEIS has been placed in the

public files of the FERC and is available

for public inspection at: Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Public

Reference and Files Maintenance

Branch, 888 First Street, N.E.

Washington, D.C. 20426, (202) 208–

1371.

A limited number of copies are

available from the Public Reference and

Files Branch identified above.

Copies of the FEIS have been mailed

to Federal, state, and local agencies,

public interest groups, interested

individuals, newspapers, and parties to

this proceeding.

Additional information about the

proposed project is available from Paul

McKee in the Commission’s Office of

External Affairs, at (202) 208–1088.
