DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP11–50–000] 

PetroLogistics Natural Gas Storage 

Company, LLC; Notice of Availability 

of the Environmental Assessment for 

the Proposed Choctaw Hub Expansion 

Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Choctaw Hub Expansion Project 

(Project) proposed by PetroLogistics 

Natural Gas Storage, LLC 

(PetroLogistics) in the above-referenced 

docket. PetroLogistics requests 

authorization to build and operate highdeliverability, multi-cycle natural gas 

storage facilities in order to increase the 

total working capacity of the Choctaw 

Hub from 16 billion cubic feet (bcf) to 

26.6 bcf. The proposed facilities would 

be adjacent to PetroLogistics’ existing 

natural gas storage, compression and 

pipeline facilities within the Choctaw 

Salt Dome located approximately 4 

miles northwest of the City of 

Plaquemine, Louisiana. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental impacts of the 

construction and operation of the 

Project in accordance with the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of (NEPA). 

The FERC staff concludes that approval 

of the Project, with appropriate 

mitigating measures, would not 

constitute a major federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

participated as a cooperating agency 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 Project includes the following: 

Within the Choctaw Salt Dome 

• A change in service of one existing 

underground storage cavern to natural 

gas storage: Cavern 28, currently used 

for commercial brine service; 

• Addition of two compressor units 

totaling 27,000 horsepower to the 

existing PetroLogistics Compressor 

Station; 

• One 0.67-mile-long, 30-inchdiameter cavern injection/withdrawal 

pipeline from the compressor station 

expansion site to the Cavern 28 

wellhead (30-Inch Lateral to Cavern 28); 

and 

• One 0.06-mile-long, 10-inchdiameter cavern injection/withdrawal 

pipeline extending from the 30-InchLateral to Cavern 28 to the existing 

certificated Cavern 24 wellhead (10-Inch 

Lateral to Cavern 24). 

Extending South From the Choctaw Salt 

Dome 

• One 13-mile-long, 30-inch-diameter 

expansion header pipeline (30-Inch 

Expansion Header) looping 

PetroLogistics’ existing pipelines,1

• One 0.90-mile-long, 20-inchdiameter pipeline to the proposed Texas 

Eastern Transmission, LP (TETCO) 

Station Expansion (20-Inch TETCO 

Lateral); 

• One 0.11-mile-long, 12-inchdiameter interconnect pipeline to 

CrossTex LIG Pipeline Company’s 

(Crosstex) existing system (12-Inch 

CrossTex Lateral); 

• One 0.04-mile-long, 12-inch 

diameter interconnect pipeline to 

Florida Gas Transmission Company, 

LLC (FGT) (12-Inch FGT Lateral); 

• A 0.23-acre expansion of the meter 

station interconnect to Bridgeline 

Pipeline System (Bridgeline) at Station 

Number (SN) 381+00 (Milepost (MP) 

7.21) (Bridgeline Station Expansion); 

• A 0.68-acre expansion of the 

existing Southern Natural Gas Company 

(SONAT) Station at SN 684+50 (MP 

12.95) (SONAT Station Expansion); 

• A 0.52-acre expansion of the 

TETCO Station at SN 47+74 of the 20- 

Inch TETCO Lateral (TETCO Station 

Expansion); 

• A 0.05-acre expansion of the 

TETCO-future Gulf South Pipeline 

Company, LP (Gulf South) Interconnect 

Station at SN 384+00 (MP 7.27) 

(TETCO-future Gulf South Interconnect 

Station Expansion); 

• Expansion of two valve sites on the 

existing PetroLogistics mainline to 

accommodate the 30-Inch Expansion 

Header, at SN 228+40 (MP 4.33) and SN 

292+42 (MP 5.54) (Expanded Mainline 

Valve Sites 1 and 2); 

• Three side valves on the 30-Inch 

Expansion Header for future lateral 

interconnects to Gulf South’s, Cypress 

Pipeline Company’s (Cypress’), and 

Enterprise Products Partners’ 

(Enterprise’s) natural gas systems at SN 

83+50 (MP 1.58) (Cypress Valve Set); 

and 

• A 5.5-acre non-jurisdictional 

electrical substation (Sawmill 

Substation) along with a 200-foot-long 

69-kilovolt (kv) electrical supply line to 

Entergy LLC’s (Entergy’s) powerline. 

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; 

newspapers and libraries in the project 

area; and parties to this proceeding. In 

addition, the EA is available for public 

viewing on the FERC’s Web site 

(www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. 

A limited number of copies of the EA 

are available for distribution and public 

inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, Public Reference Room,

Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

In accordance with the National

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP, 

Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC; 

Notice of Availability of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed New Jersey-New York 

Expansion Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a final 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the New Jersey-New York Expansion 

Project (NJ-NY Project or Project), 

proposed by Texas Eastern 

Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) and 

Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC 

(Algonquin), both Spectra Energy 

Corporation natural gas pipeline 

companies, in the above-referenced 

docket. Texas Eastern and Algonquin 

request authorization to expand their 

natural gas pipeline systems in New 

Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, to 

deliver up to 800,000 dekatherms per 

day of natural gas from multiple receipt 

points on the Texas Eastern and 

Algonquin pipeline systems to new 

delivery points in New Jersey and New 

York. 

The final EIS assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the NJ-NY 

Project in accordance with the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The 

FERC staff concludes that approval of 

the proposed Project would have some 

adverse environmental impact; 

however, these impacts would be 

reduced to less-than-significant levels 

with the implementation of Texas 

Eastern’s and Algonquin’s proposed
