Commission 

[Docket No. CP24–13–000] 

MountainWest Overthrust Pipeline, 

LLC; Notice of Schedule for the 

Preparation of an Environmental 

Assessment for the Westbound 

Compression Expansion Project 

On November 2, 2023, MountainWest 

Overthrust Pipeline, LLC (Overthrust) 

filed an application in Docket No. 

CP24–13–000 requesting a Certificate of 

Public Convenience and Necessity 

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural 

Gas Act to construct and operate certain 

natural gas pipeline facilities. The 

proposed project is known as the 

Westbound Compression Expansion 

Project (Project), which would expand 

Overthrust’s natural gas transmission 

system at its existing Point of Rocks and 

Rock Springs Compressor Stations in 

Sweetwater County, Wyoming, as well 

as related aboveground facilities in 

Uinta and Lincoln Counties, Wyoming. 

The Project would provide an additional 

325,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of 

year-round firm transportation capacity 

on its existing mainline to western and 

northwestern U.S. gas markets. 

On November 15, 2023, 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 

document for the Project. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Project and the planned schedule for the 

completion of the environmental 

review.1

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA—June 24, 2024 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline 2—September 22, 2024 

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 Project would provide an 

expansion of Overthrust’s existing 

pipeline system that would enable 

Overthrust to provide an additional 

325,000 Dth/d of westbound firm 

transportation capacity to a new 

delivery point being constructed by 

Kern River Gas Transmission near 

Overthrust’s existing Roberson 

Compressor Station in Lincoln County, 

Wyoming. 

The Project would consist of the 

following facilities and activities, all in 

Wyoming: 

• addition of one gas-fired turbine 

driven compressor unit with 15,900 

nominal horsepower (hp) at the existing 

Point of Rocks Compressor Station in 

Sweetwater County; 

• addition of one gas-fired turbine 

driven compressor unit with 15,900 

nominal hp at the existing Rock Springs 

Compressor Station in Sweetwater 

County; 

• an approximate 1,400-foot-long, 24- 

inch-diameter pipe interconnect (JTL– 

148) extending from a new tap on 

Overthrust’s mainline 122 at its existing 

North Rendezvous Tap facility to a new 

meter station being constructed by Kern 

River Gas Transmission at an existing 

site in Lincoln County; 

• upgrades to the existing Rockies 

Express Pipeline Wamsutter Meter 

Station to accommodate additional gas 

volumes in Sweetwater County; 

• upgrades at three existing 

facilities—Roberson Compressor Station 

(new pig launcher and receiver 3 in 

Lincoln County), Cabin 31 Interconnect 

Pipeline Facility (new pig launcher in 

Sweetwater County), and Opal 

Interconnect Pipeline Facility (new pig 

launcher in Lincoln County), to support 

in-line inspections along the Overthrust 

mainline; and 

• modifications to Overthrust’s 

existing Granger Interconnect Facility to 

accommodate new flow conditions in 

Sweetwater County. 

Background 

On December 14, 2023, the 

Commission issued a Notice of Scoping 

Period Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Westbound Compression Expansion 

Project (Notice of Scoping). The Notice 

of Scoping was sent to affected 

landowners; federal, state, and local 

government agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. In response to the 

Notice of Scoping, the Commission 

received comments from the City 

Planner of Rock Springs, Wyoming, 

Wyoming Game and Fish Department in 

Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Wyoming 

Department of Environmental Quality. 

The primary issue raised by the City 

Planner of Rock Springs is a request for 

Overthrust to inform the Rock Springs 

Planning Department with any proposed 

additions or changes at the existing 

Blairtown Yard, which is within the city 

limits of Rock Springs. Wyoming Game 

and Fish Department requested 

adherence to the protection of wildlife 

and wildlife habitat in the vicinity of 

the Project. Wyoming Department of 

Environmental Quality comments 

requested thorough analysis of 

groundwater and surface water impacts 

of the Project. All substantive comments 

will be addressed in the EA. 

Portions of the Project would affect 

lands that Overthrust has leased from 

the Bureau of Land Management; 

therefore, the Bureau of Land 

Management is a cooperating agency in 

the preparation of the EA. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets, the Commission offers 

a free service called eSubscription. This 

service provides automatic notification 

of filings made to subscribed dockets, 

document summaries, and direct links 

to the documents. Go to https://

www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview to 

register for eSubscription.

Records Governing Off-the-Record 

Communications; Public Notice 

This constitutes notice, in accordance 

with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt 

of prohibited and exempt off-the-record 

communications. 

Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, 

September 22, 1999) requires 

Commission decisional employees, who 

make or receive a prohibited or exempt 

off-the-record communication relevant 

to the merits of a contested proceeding, 

to deliver to the Secretary of the 

Commission, a copy of the 

communication, if written, or a 

summary of the substance of any oral 

communication. 

Prohibited communications are 

included in a public, non-decisional file 

associated with, but not a part of, the 

decisional record of the proceeding. 

Unless the Commission determines that 

the prohibited communication and any 

responses thereto should become a part 

of the decisional record, the prohibited 

off-the-record communication will not 

be considered by the Commission in 

reaching its decision. Parties to a 

proceeding may seek the opportunity to 

respond to any facts or contentions 

made in a prohibited off-the-record 

communication and may request that 

the Commission place the prohibited 

communication and responses thereto 

in the decisional record. The 

Commission will grant such a request 

only when it determines that fairness so 

requires. Any person identified below as 

having made a prohibited off-the-record 

communication shall serve the 

document on all parties listed on the 

official service list for the applicable 

proceeding in accordance with Rule 

2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
