DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket Nos. CP15–550–000, CP15–551– 

000, and CP15–551–001] 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Calcasieu Pass Project; 

Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC, 

TransCameron Pipeline, LLC 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a draft 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the Calcasieu Pass Project, proposed 

by Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC 

(Venture Global Calcasieu Pass) and 

TransCameron Pipeline, LLC 

(TransCameron Pipeline) in the abovereferenced dockets. Venture Global 

Calcasieu Pass requests authorization to 

site, construct, and operate a natural gas 

liquefaction and storage facility, and 

marine export terminal in Cameron 

Parish, Louisiana. TransCameron 

Pipeline requests authorization to 

construct, install, and operate certain 

natural gas pipeline facilities also in 

Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The new 

liquefaction facilities would have a 

design production capacity of 12 

million metric ton of liquefied natural 

gas (LNG) per annum. 

The draft EIS assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

Calcasieu Pass Project in accordance 

with the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act. The FERC 

staff concludes that approval of the 

proposed project would have some 

adverse environmental impacts; 

however, all of these impacts would be 

reduced to less-than-significant levels 

with the implementation of Venture 

Global Calcasieu Pass’ and 

TransCameron Pipeline’s proposed 

mitigation measures and the additional 

measures recommended in the draft EIS. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Department of 

Energy, U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, and U.S. Department of 

Transportation participated as 

cooperating agencies in the preparation 

of the draft EIS. Cooperating agencies 

have jurisdiction by law or special 

expertise with respect to resources 

potentially affected by the proposal and 

participate in the National 

Environmental Policy Act analysis. 

Although the cooperating agencies 

provided input on the conclusions and 

recommendations presented in the draft 

EIS, the agencies will present their own 

conclusions and recommendations in 

their respective Records of Decision for 

the project. 

The draft EIS addresses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

following project facilities: 

• Nine integrated pre-cooled single 

mixed refrigerant (SMR) blocks; 

• two full-containment aboveground 

LNG storage tanks, each with a usable 

capacity of approximately 200,000 cubic 

meters; 

• a 1,500-foot by 3,000-foot turning 

basin adjacent to the Calcasieu River 

Ship Channel; 

• two LNG berthing docks, each 

designed to handle carriers of 120,000 to 

210,000 cubic meter cargo capacity; 

• a 720 megawatt natural gas-fired 

combined cycle gas turbine electric 

generation facility; 

• approximately 23.4 miles of 42- 

inch-diameter pipeline to bring feed gas 

from interconnections with ANR 

Pipeline Company, Texas Eastern 

Transmission, LP, and Bridgeline 

Holdings, LP to the terminal site; 

• one meter station; 

• three mainline valves; and 

• one pig launcher at the meter 

station and one pig receiver at the gas 

gate station on the terminal site. 

The FERC staff mailed copies of the 

draft EIS to federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

libraries in the project area; and parties 

to this proceeding. Paper copy versions 

of this EIS were mailed to those 

specifically requesting them; all others 

received a CD version. In addition, the 

EIS is available for public viewing on 

the FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov) using 

the eLibrary link. A limited number of 

hardcopies of the EIS are available for 

distribution and public inspection at: 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

Public Reference Room, 888 First Street 

NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, 

(202) 502–8371.

1The appendices referenced in this notice will 

not appear in the Federal Register. Copies of the 

appendices were sent to all those receiving this 

notice in the mail and are available at www.ferc.gov 

using the link called eLibrary or from the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room, 888 First 

Street NE, Washington, DC 20426, or call (202) 502– 

8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, 

refer to the last page of this notice. 

Date and time Location 

August 1, 2018 (4:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m. CST) ............................................. Cameron Parish School Board, Educational Conference Center, 510 

Marshall Street, Cameron, Louisiana 70631, (337) 775–5784. 

The primary goal of this comment 

session is to have you identify the 

specific environmental issues and 

concerns with the draft EIS. Individual 

verbal comments will be taken on a oneon-one basis with a court reporter. This 

format is designed to receive the 

maximum amount of verbal comments, 

in a convenient way during the 

timeframe allotted. 

The comment session is scheduled 

from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. CST. You may 

arrive at any time after 4 p.m. There will 

not be a formal presentation by 

Commission staff when the session 

opens. If you wish to speak, the 

Commission staff will hand out 

numbers in the order of your arrival; 

distribution of numbers will be 

discontinued at 6 p.m. However, if no 

additional numbers have been handed 

out and all individuals who wish to 

provide comments have had an 

opportunity to do so, staff may conclude 

the session at 6 p.m. Please see 

appendix 1 for additional information 

on the session format and conduct.1

Your verbal comments will be 

recorded by the court reporter (with 

FERC staff or representative present) 

and become part of the public record for 

this proceeding. Transcripts will be 

publicly available on FERC’s eLibrary 

system (see below for instructions on 

using eLibrary). If a significant number 

of people are interested in providing 

verbal comments in the one-on-one 

settings, a time limit of 5 minutes may 

be implemented for each commentor. 

It is important to note that verbal 

comments hold the same weight as 

written or electronically submitted 

comments. Although there will not be a 

formal presentation, Commission staff 

will be available throughout the 

comment session to answer your 

questions about the environmental 

review process. 

Filing environmental comments will 

not give you intervenor status, but you 

do not need intervenor status to have 

your comments considered. However, 

only intervenors have the right to seek 

rehearing or judicial review of the 

Commission’s decisions. Any person 

may seek to intervene on environmental 

grounds and thereby become a party to 

this proceeding by filing a motion to 

intervene that complies with the 

requirements in Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (18 CFR Part 385.214). Any 

such intervention must be filed within 

the comment period for the draft EIS to 

be deemed timely. Motions to intervene 

that are filed after the comment due date 

for the draft EIS are untimely and may 

be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause why 

the time limitation should be waived 

and provide justification by reference to 

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (18 CFR part 385.214(b)(3) 

and (d)). The Commission strongly 

encourages electronic filing of 

interventions in lieu of paper using the 

eFiling feature described above, and 

available at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons 

unable to file electronically may submit 

a paper copy of the intervention to the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 

20426.

BILLING CODE 6717–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP18–503–000] 

ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of 

Request Under Blanket Authorization 

Take notice that on June 14, 2018, 

ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 700 

Louisiana Street, Suite 700, Houston, 

Texas 77002–2700, filed in Docket No. 

CP18–503–000 a prior notice request 

pursuant to sections 157.205, 157.208, 

and 157.216 of the Commission’s 

regulations under the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA), and ANR’s blanket certificate 

issued in Docket No. CP82–480–000, to 

abandon 20 injection/withdrawal wells, 

one observation well, and related 

appurtenances in its Winfield Storage 

Field, located in Mecosta and Montcalm 

Counties Michigan (Winfield Storage 

Field Wells Abandonment Project). 

ANR states that the well integrity risk 

assessments for these wells revealed 

integrity weaknesses, and to maintain 

these wells would require some form of 

remediation, the cost of which would 

likely exceed the cost of plugging, as 

well as exceed the value provided by 

the wells to storage operations. ANR 

claims many of the wells proposed for 

abandonment are poor performers in 

comparison with other wells in the 

Winfield Storage Field, contributing 

approximately 2.8 percent of the total 

field deliverability. Therefore, ANR 

concludes that plugging and abandoning 

the wells is the best course of action to 

maintain field integrity and efficiency. 

ANR affirms that there will be no 

change to the field’s total inventory, 

reservoir pressure, reservoir and buffer 

boundaries, or the certificated capacity 

as a result of the proposed Winfield 

Storage Field Wells Abandonment 

Project. ANR estimates the cost of the 

Project to be approximately $2.8 

million, all as more fully set forth in the 

application which is on file with the 

Commission and open to public 

inspection. The filing may also be 

viewed on the web at http://

www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link.
