Amendment, and Request for 

Comments on Environmental Issues 

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 D’Lo Natural Gas Storage Project 

Amendment involving construction and 

operation of facilities by D’Lo Gas

Storage, LLC (DGS) in Simpson and 

Rankin Counties, Mississippi. The 

Commission will use this EA in its 

decision-making process to determine 

whether the project is in the public 

convenience and necessity. 

This notice announces the opening of 

the scoping process the Commission 

will use to gather input from the public 

and interested agencies about issues 

regarding the project. The National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

requires the Commission to take into 

account the environmental impacts that 

could result from its action whenever it 

considers the issuance of a Certificate of 

Public Convenience and Necessity. 

NEPA also requires the Commission to 

discover concerns the public may have 

about proposals. This process is referred 

to as scoping. The main goal of the 

scoping process is to focus the analysis 

in the EA on the important 

environmental issues. By this notice, the 

Commission requests public comments 

on the scope of the issues to address in 

the EA. To ensure that your comments 

are timely and properly recorded, please 

submit your comments so that the 

Commission receives them in 

Washington, DC on or before 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on September 26, 2018. 

You can make a difference by 

submitting your specific comments or 

concerns about the project. Your 

comments should focus on the potential 

environmental effects, reasonable 

alternatives, and measures to avoid or 

lessen environmental impacts. Your 

input will help the Commission staff 

determine what issues they need to 

evaluate in the EA. Commission staff 

will consider and address all filed 

comments during the preparation of the 

EA. 

If you sent comments on this project 

to the Commission before the opening of 

this docket on July 13, 2018, you will 

need to file those comments in Docket 

No. CP18–524–000 to ensure they are 

considered as part of this proceeding. 

This notice is being sent to the 

Commission’s current environmental 

mailing list for this project. State and 

local government representatives should 

notify their constituents of this 

proposed project and encourage them to 

comment on their areas of concern. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, a pipeline company 

representative may contact you about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

proposed facilities. The company would 

seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable 

easement agreement. You are not 

required to enter into an agreement. 

However, if the Commission approves 

the project, that approval conveys with 

it the right of eminent domain. 

Therefore, if you and the company do 

not reach an easement agreement, the 

pipeline company could initiate 

condemnation proceedings in court. In 

such instances, compensation would be 

determined by a judge in accordance 

with state law. 

DGS provided landowners with a fact 

sheet prepared by the FERC entitled An 

Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My 

Land? What Do I Need To Know? This 

fact sheet addresses a number of 

typically asked questions, including the 

use of eminent domain and how to 

participate in the Commission’s 

proceedings. It is also available for 

viewing on the FERC website 

(www.ferc.gov). 

Public Participation 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to submit your 

comments to the Commission. The 

Commission encourages electronic filing 

of comments and has staff available to

Summary of the Proposed Project 

The FERC issued a Certificate for the 

original D’Lo Gas Storage Project on 

September 6, 2012 in Docket No. CP12– 

39–000. DGS proposes to amend the 

originally certificated project design, as 

described below. The D’Lo Gas Storage 

Project would provide about 1.2 billion 

cubic feet (Bcf) per day of withdrawal 

and 0.59 Bcf per day of injection 

capacity. According to DGS, its project 

would help meet the growing demand 

for firm and interruptible high 

deliverability natural gas storage 

services to support deliveries of natural 

gas to widely variable electric power 

generation loads, and to provide 

services to growing local distribution 

companies and other markets that 

require highly reliable natural gas 

service in Mississippi, and the 

Northeastern, mid-Atlantic, 

Southeastern, and Florida regions. 

DGS is proposing the following 

amendments to the originally 

certificated project design: 

• Elimination of the Gulf South 

Interconnect Lateral and Gulf South 

Meter Station facilities; and 

• relocation of Primary Source Water 

Wells #2 and #4 and Primary Brine 

Disposal Wells #2 and #4 approximately 

0.4 mile south of their originally 

proposed locations. 

The revised scope of the total project 

includes: 

• The solution mining of three salt 

dome caverns with a designed total 

working gas volume of 8.0 Bcf per 

cavern; 

• a new solution mining facility site 

having injection and withdrawal 

capacity of 4,000–8,000 gallons per 

minute (gpm); 

• a new compressor station with four 

8,000 horsepower (hp) and one 4,735 hp 

Caterpillar gas engine driven 

compressors, totaling 36,735 hp; 

• the drilling and completion of four 

primary and three secondary source 

water wells, each having a total 

production capability of 1,000 gpm; 

• the drilling and completion of four 

primary and one secondary brine 

disposal wells, each having injection 

capability of 1,000 gpm; 

• 4.0 miles of 20-inch-diameter 

source water pipelines; 

• 4.0 miles of 20-inch-diameter brine 

disposal pipelines; 

• 0.2 mile of 24-inch-diameter natural 

gas pipeline from the compressor and 

solution mining facility sites to Cavern 

Well #3; 

• 0.4 mile of 30-inch-diameter natural 

gas pipeline with an interconnect and 

meter station to Boardwalk Pipeline 

Company; 

• 0.8 mile of 24-inch-diameter natural 

gas pipeline with an interconnect and 

meter station to Southern Natural Gas 

Pipeline Company; 

• 3.2 miles of 30-inch-diameter 

natural gas pipeline with an

interconnect and meter station to Kinder 

Morgan Midcontinent Express Pipeline; 

• a new 12-inch-diameter tap and 

interconnect and meter station to 

Southcross Energy; and 

• the widening and improvement of 

3.5 miles of existing access roads, and 

construction of 0.8 mile of new access 

roads for construction, operations, and 

maintenance of the proposed facilities. 

The general location of the project 

facilities is shown in appendix 1.1

Land Requirements for Construction 

Construction of the proposed facilities 

would disturb about 160.3 acres of land 

for the aboveground facilities and 

pipelines. Following construction, DGS 

would maintain about 113.8 acres for 

permanent operation of the project’s 

facilities; the remaining acreage would 

be restored and revert to former uses. 

The proposed changes presented above 

would reduce surface impacts from the 

original project by approximately 14.1 

acres. DGS owns and/or controls all 

areas of the project that would be 

permanently impacted. 

The EA Process 

The EA will discuss impacts that 

could occur as a result of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed project under these general 

headings: 

• Geology and soils; 

• land use; 

• water resources, fisheries, and 

wetlands; 

• cultural resources; 

• vegetation and wildlife; 

• air quality and noise; 

• endangered and threatened species; 

• public safety; and 

• cumulative impacts 

Commission staff will also evaluate 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

project or portions of the project, and 

make recommendations on how to 

lessen or avoid impacts on the various 

resource areas. 

The EA will present Commission 

staffs’ independent analysis of the 

issues. The EA will be available in the 

public record through eLibrary.2

Commission staff will consider and 

address all comments on the EA before 

making recommendations to the 

Commission. To ensure Commission 

staff have the opportunity to address 

your comments, please carefully follow 

the instructions in the Public 

Participation section, beginning on page 

2. 

With this notice, the Commission is 

asking agencies with jurisdiction by law 

and/or special expertise with respect to 

the environmental issues of this project 

to formally cooperate in the preparation 

of the EA.3 Agencies that would like to 

request cooperating agency status 

should follow the instructions for filing 

comments provided under the Public 

Participation section of this notice. 

Consultation Under Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act 

In accordance with the Advisory 

Council on Historic Preservation’s 

implementing regulations for section 

106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act, the Commission is are 

using this notice to initiate consultation 

with the applicable State Historic 

Preservation Office (SHPO), and to 

solicit their views and those of other 

government agencies, interested Indian 

tribes, and the public on the project’s 

potential effects on historic properties.4

Commission staff will define the 

project-specific Area of Potential Effects 

(APE) in consultation with the SHPO as 

the project develops. On natural gas 

facility projects, the APE at a minimum 

encompasses all areas subject to ground 

disturbance (examples include 

construction right-of-way, contractor/ 

pipe storage yards, compressor stations, 

and access roads). The EA for this 

project will document findings on the 

impacts on historic properties and 

summarize the status of consultations 

under section 106. 

Environmental Mailing List 

The environmental mailing list 

includes federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. This list also includes 

all affected landowners (as defined in 

the Commission’s regulations) who are 

potential right-of-way grantors, whose 

property may be used temporarily for 

project purposes, or who own homes 

within certain distances of aboveground 

facilities, and anyone who submits 

comments on the project. Commission 

staff will update the environmental 

mailing list as the analysis proceeds to 

ensure that information related to this 

environmental review is sent to all 

individuals, organizations, and 

government entities interested in and/or 

potentially affected by the proposed 

project. 

As stated above, the EA will be 

available in the public record through 

the Commission’s eLibrary, under the 

Docket Number CP18–524–000.
