Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP18–13–000] 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review of the Columbia Gas 

Transmission, Llc Line 8000 

Replacement Project 

On November 3, 2017, Columbia Gas 

Transmission, LLC filed an application 

in Docket No. CP18–13–000 requesting 

a Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity pursuant to Sections 7(b) and 

(c) of the Natural Gas Act to construct, 

operate, and abandon certain natural gas 

pipeline facilities in Mineral County, 

West Virginia and Allegany County, 

Maryland. The proposed project is 

known as the Line 8000 Replacement 

Project (Project) and is part of 

Columbia’s multi-year, comprehensive 

modernization program. The Project 

would not increase capacity and would 

continue to serve the Maryland 

distribution markets. According to 

Columbia, its Project would increase 

system reliability, thereby greatly 

reducing the risk of interruptions to 

Columbia’s customers. 

On November 17, 2017, the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice 

of Application for the Project. Among 

other things, that notice alerted agencies 

issuing federal authorizations of the 

requirement to complete all necessary 

reviews and to reach a final decision on 

a request for a federal authorization 

within 90 days of the date of issuance 

of the Commission staff’s Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the Project. This 

instant notice identifies the FERC staff’s 

planned schedule for the completion of 

the EA for the Project. 

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA—August 29, 2018 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline—November 27, 2018 

If a schedule change becomes 

necessary, additional notice will be 

provided so that the relevant agencies 

are kept informed of the Project’s 

progress. 

Project Description 

The Line 8000 Replacement Project 

would consist of: 

• Replacement of about 13.25 miles of 

existing 12-inch-diameter bare steel 

pipeline, with approximately 13.54 

miles of new, coated 12-inch-diameter 

natural gas transmission pipeline in five 

sections and four modification points 

along Line 8000 and Lateral Line 8006; 

• replacement of about 0.54 miles of 

existing 4-inch-diameter bare steel 

pipeline, with approximately 0.67 miles 

of new coated 4-inch-diameter natural 

gas transmission pipeline along Lateral 

Lines 8225 and 8244; 

• installation of two new pig 1

launcher and receiver sites and four 

new mainline valves associated with 

pipeline facilities; 

• modifications/abandonment of 

three existing mainline valves and three 

existing side tap valve sites; 

• modification of tie-ins at two 

regulator stations; and 

• abandonment of 13 active 

residential taps and 109 inactive taps.

Commission issued a Notice of Intent to 

Prepare an Environmental Assessment
