DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP18–6–000] 

RH energytrans, LLC; Notice of 

Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed Risberg 

Line Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Risberg Line Project proposed by RH 

energytrans, LLC (RH) in the abovereferenced docket. RH requests 

authorization to construct, modify, own, 

operate, and maintain natural gas 

facilities in Pennsylvania and Ohio to 

provide 55,000 dekatherms per day of 

firm natural gas transportation service. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

Risberg Line Project in accordance with 

the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). 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 

natural and human environment. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat 

Commission participated as cooperating 

agencies in the preparation of the EA. 

Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction 

by law or special expertise with respect 

to resources potentially affected by the 

proposal and participate in the NEPA 

analysis. The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers will adopt the EA to fulfill 

their agency’s NEPA obligations and 

will use the EA and supporting 

documentation to consider the issuance 

of Clean Water Act Section 404 and 

Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 

permits. 

The Risberg Line Project would 

consist of the following actions in 

Pennsylvania: 

• Minor modification at the existing 

County Line Compressor Station in Erie 

County; 

• installation of compression 

(approximately 728 horsepower, natural 

gas-fired), receipt metering, and 

appurtenant facilities at the existing 

(currently vacant) Meadville 

Compressor Station site in Crawford 

County; 

• re-certification and use of an 

existing 12-inch-diameter pipeline 

extending 26.6 miles from the Meadville 

Compressor Station north to an existing 

valve set in Washington Township, Erie 

County, including construction of a new 

launcher/receiver; 

• next to the Meadville Compressor 

Station, construction of a 650-foot 

lateral within the existing 12-inchdiameter pipeline right-of-way to move 

gas from the Tennessee Gas Pipeline 

Company, LLC system to the existing 

pipeline; and 

• re-certification and use of a portion 

of an existing 8-inch-diameter pipeline 

extending from the 12-inch valve set 

west about 5.0 miles to a point in Elk 

Creek Township, Erie County (Line 

10257), including construction of two 

new launchers/receivers. 

In Pennsylvania and Ohio, the project 

would include: 

• Construction of 28.3 miles of new 

12-inch-diameter pipeline from the west 

end of the recertified 8-inch-diameter 

pipeline to connect with Dominion 

Energy Ohio facilities located in North 

Kingsville, Ashtabula County, Ohio 

(Risberg Pipeline). The pipeline would 

be constructed in new rights-of-way and 

include launcher/receiver facilities and 

mainline valves; and 

• construction of a new meter station 

at the terminus of the new pipeline in 

North Kingsville, Ashtabula County, 

Ohio. 

The FERC staff mailed copies of the 

EA 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; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

project area. In addition, the EA is 

available for public viewing on the 

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

eLibrary link. A limited number of 

copies of the EA are available for 

distribution and public inspection at:

Any person wishing to comment on 

the EA may do so. Your comments 

should focus on the potential 

environmental effects, reasonable 

alternatives, and measures to avoid or 

lessen environmental impacts. The more 

specific your comments, the more useful 

they will be. To ensure that the 

Commission has the opportunity to 

consider your comments prior to 

making its decision on this project, it is 

important that we receive your 

comments in Washington, DC on or 

before 5:00pm Eastern Time on July 30, 

2018. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to file your 

comments to the Commission. In all 

instances, please reference the project 

docket number (CP18–6–000) with your 

submission. The Commission 

encourages electronic filing of 

comments and has staff available to 

assist you at (866) 208–3676 or 

FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. 

(1) You can file your comments 

electronically using the eComment 

feature on the Commission’s website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to 

Documents and Filings. Using 

eComment is an easy method for 

submitting brief, text-only comments on 

a project; 

(2) You can also file your comments 

electronically using the eFiling feature 

on the Commission’s website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to

you can provide comments in a variety 

of formats by attaching them as a file 

with your submission. New eFiling 

users must first create an account by 

clicking on ‘‘eRegister.’’ You must select 

the type of filing you are making. A 

comment on a particular project is 

considered a ‘‘Comment on a Filing’’; or 

(3) You can file a paper copy of your 

comments by mailing them to the 

following address: Kimberly D. Bose, 

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 

1A, Washington, DC 20426. 

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 385.214). Only 

intervenors have the right to seek 

rehearing or judicial review of the 

Commission’s decision. The 

Commission grants affected landowners 

and others with environmental concerns 

intervenor status upon showing good 

cause by stating that they have a clear 

and direct interest in this proceeding 

which no other party can adequately 

represent. Simply filing environmental 

comments will not give you intervenor 

status, but you do not need intervenor 

status to have your comments 

considered.

the American Tissue Hydroelectric 

Project, located on Cobbosseecontee 

Stream, in the Town of Gardiner,

project, with appropriate environmental 

protective measures, would not 

constitute a major federal action that 

would significantly affect the quality of 

the human environment.
