DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP24–124–000] 

Colorado Interstate Gas Company, 

L.L.C.; Notice of Availability of the 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Totem Enhanced 

Deliverability Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

2024 Totem Enhanced Deliverability 

Project (Project), proposed by Colorado 

Interstate Gas Company, L.L.C. (CIG) in 

the above-referenced docket. CIG 

requests authorization to install, 

replace, reclassify, operate, and abandon 

certain natural gas pipeline facilities to 

enable CIG to enhance its existing 

Totem Natural Gas Storage Field (Totem 

Storage Field), and provide 53,700 

dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of increased 

deliverability, facilitated by injection of 

1 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of additional 

base gas into the Totem Storage Field 

occurring over two injection seasons in 

Adams County, Colorado. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

Project in accordance with the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The 

FERC staff concludes that approval of 

the proposed project would not 

constitute a major federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. 

The Project would consist of the 

following facilities and activities: 

• Installation of six new injection/ 

withdrawal (I/W) wells, each with a 

wellhead and meter yard and 0.42 mile 

of 6-inch-diameter lateral pipeline to 

connect the new wells to gathering 

lines; 

• Reclassification of one existing I/W 

well to an observation well; 

• Line 254F–1: 

Æ Replacement of 0.62 mile of 8-inchdiameter gathering pipeline with 

approximately 0.72 mile of 12-inchdiameter gathering pipeline to connect 

the Totem Compressor Station to 

existing and new I/W wells; 

Æ Replacement of approximately 0.12 

mile of existing 6-inch-diameter 

pipeline with approximately 0.08 mile 

of new 4-inch and 6-inch-diameter 

pipeline to interconnect with the new 

12-inch-diameter segment; 

Æ Installation of 7 new tap valves/ 

lateral tie-ins; 

Æ Replacement of the launcher/ 

receiver facilities; 

• Line 254–2: 

Æ Replacement of approximately 0.28 

mile of existing 6-inch and 10-inchdiameter pipeline with approximately 

0.26 mile of new 3-inch, 4-inch and 6- 

inch-diameter pipeline to interconnect 

with existing Line 254–2; 

Æ Installation of 7 new tap valves/ 

lateral tie-ins; 

• Abandonment in place of 

approximately 0.4 mile of 3-inchdiameter on Line 254F–7; 

• Installation of approximately 0.68 

mile of new permanent access road that 

would encircle each of the new I/W 

wells; and 

• Modifications at the existing Totem 

Compressor Station including an 

installation of new Vortex Separator, 

new 6-inch bypass with actuated valve 

and recommissioning of an existing 

vessel V–5530 along with various piping 

modifications. 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

of the Notice of Availability 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; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

project area. The EA is only available in 

electronic format. It may be viewed and 

downloaded from the FERC’s website 

(www.ferc.gov), on the natural gas 

environmental documents page (https:// 

www.ferc.gov/industries-data/naturalgas/environment/environmentaldocuments). In addition, the EA may be 

accessed by using the eLibrary link on 

the FERC’s website. Click on the 

eLibrary link (https://elibrary.ferc.gov/ 

eLibrary/search), select ‘‘General 

Search’’ and enter the docket number in

Commission to consider when 

addressing the merits of all issues in 

this proceeding. Any person wishing to

disclosure and discussion of potential 

environmental effects, reasonable 

alternatives, and measures to avoid or 

lessen environmental impacts. The more 

specific your comments, the more useful 

they will be. To ensure that the 

Commission has the opportunity to

Commission 

[Docket No. CP24–529–000] 

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, 

L.L.C.; Notice of Scoping Period 

Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

507g Line Abandonment Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental document, that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the 507G Line Abandonment Project 

involving construction and operation of 

facilities by Tennessee Gas Pipeline 

Company, L.L.C. (Tennessee) in Acadia, 

Vermilion, Iberia, and St. Mary Parishes, 

Louisiana. The Commission will use 

this environmental document 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 regarding the 

project. As part of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

review process, the Commission takes 

into account concerns the public may 

have about proposals and the 

environmental impacts that could result 

from its action whenever it considers 

the issuance of an authorization. This 

gathering of public input is referred to 

as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the 

scoping process is to focus the analysis 

in the environmental document on the 

important environmental issues. 

Additional information about the 

Commission’s NEPA process is 

described below in the NEPA Process 

and Environmental Document section of 

this notice. 

By this notice, the Commission 

requests public comments on the scope 

of issues to address in the 

environmental document. 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 5:00pm Eastern Time on 

December 9, 2024. Comments may be 

submitted in written form. Further 

details on how to submit comments are 

provided in the Public Participation 

section of this notice. 

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 environmental 

document. Commission staff will 

consider all written comments during 

the preparation of the environmental 

document. 

If you submitted comments on this 

project to the Commission before the 

opening of this docket on September 30, 

2024, you will need to file those 

comments in Docket No. CP24–529–000 

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. 

Tennessee 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?’’ which addresses typically 

asked questions, including the use of 

eminent domain and how to participate 

in the Commission’s proceedings. This 

fact sheet along with other landowner 

topics of interest are available for 

viewing on the FERC website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the Natural Gas, 

Landowner Topics link.
