Project Description

    Rover proposes to construct and operate aboveground facilities and 
new pipeline delivery and receipt point interconnections within and 
adjacent to Rover's Mainline easement, at approximate milepost 154.54, 
in Hancock County, Ohio. The project receipt interconnection would 
receive up to 6,269 dekatherms of natural gas per day and the delivery 
interconnection and would deliver up to 7,893 dekatherms of natural gas 
per day.
    The Project would consist of the following facilities and 
activities:
    <bullet> construction of one delivery meter station with one hot 
tap, one tap valve, and dual Coriolis Meter Skid;
    <bullet> construction of one receipt meter station with one hot 
tap, one tap valve, dual Coriolis Meter Skid, and a gas quality/
measurement building;
    <bullet> 90 feet of interconnect piping;
    <bullet> installation of associated appurtenant facilities; and
    <bullet> construction of 0.6 mile of new permanent access road 
leading from West County Road 18 to the meter station.

Background

    On September 16, 2024, the Commission issued a Notice of Scoping

federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials; 
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; other 
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. The U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service provided comments on wetlands, wildlife, and 
endangered species. All substantive comments received will be addressed 
in the EA.
