Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 

Company, LLC; Notice of Intent To 

Prepare an Environmental Assessment 

for the Proposed Gulf Trace Expansion 

Project 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 Gulf Trace Expansion Project 

involving construction and operation of 

facilities by Transcontinental Gas Pipe 

Line company, LLC (Transco) in 

Cameron, Calcasieu, Beauregard, 

Evangeline, and East Feliciana Parishes, 

Louisiana. The Commission will use 

this EA in its decisionmaking 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 on the project. 

Your input will help the Commission 

staff determine what issues they need to 

evaluate in the EA. Please note that the 

scoping period will close on March 6, 

2015. 

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 

agreement. However, if the Commission 

approves the project, that approval 

conveys with it the right of eminent 

domain. Therefore, if easement 

negotiations fail to produce an 

agreement, the pipeline company could 

initiate condemnation proceedings 

where compensation would be 

determined in accordance with state 

law. 

Transco 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 Web site 

(www.ferc.gov). 

Summary of the Proposed Project 

The Gulf Trace Expansion Project 

would provide about 1.2 million 

standard cubic feet of natural gas per 

day from its Station 65 Zone 3 Pool in 

St. Helena Parish, Louisiana, southward 

along its existing mainline, existing 

Southwest Louisiana Lateral, and the 

proposed project facilities to Sabine 

Pass Liquefaction, LLC liquefied natural 

gas terminal (SPLNG Terminal) in 

Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The 

pipeline would extend from a tie-in 

with the existing NHI Laterals C and D 

to SPLNG Terminal. 

The Gulf Trace Expansion Project 

would consist of the following facilities: 

• About 6.97 miles of 36-inchdiameter pipeline (the Gulf Trace 

Lateral) in Cameron Parish; 

• addition of two 16,000 horsepower 

(hp) gas turbine-driven compressor 

units at Transco’s existing Compressor 

Station 44 in Cameron Parish; 

• two 16,000 hp gas turbine-driven 

compressor units at the new Compressor 

Station 42 at the junction of the 

Transco’s mainline and its Southwest 

Louisiana Lateral in Calcasieu Parish; 

• piping and valve modifications on 

Transco’s mainline at existing 

Compressor Stations 45, 50, and 60 in 

Beauregard, Evangeline, and East 

Feliciana Parishes to allow for bidirectional flow; 

• two new meter stations, one 

adjacent to the SPLNG Terminal in 

Cameron Parish (SPLNG Meter Station) 

and one adjacent to the Texas Gas 

Interconnection in Evangeline Parish 

(Duralde Meter Station); 

• piping and valve modifications, and 

pig launcher and receivers required to 

tie-in the Gulf Trace Lateral with the 

existing NHI Laterals C and D at the 

milepost 6.8 valve site 1 in Cameron 

Parish; and 

• appurtenant underground and 

aboveground facilities. 

The general location of the project 

facilities is shown in appendix 1.2

Land Requirements for Construction 

Construction of the proposed facilities 

would disturb about 263.4 acres of land 

for the aboveground facilities and the 

pipeline. Following construction, 

Transco would maintain about 75.6 

acres for permanent operation of the 

project’s facilities; the remaining 

acreage would be restored and revert to 

former uses. About 17 percent of the 

proposed pipeline route parallels 

existing pipeline, utility, or road rightsof-way. 

The EA Process 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to 

take into account the environmental 

impacts that could result from an action 

whenever it considers the issuance of a 

Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity. NEPA also requires us 3 to 

discover and address 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. We will consider all 

filed comments during the preparation 

of the EA. 

In the EA we 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 including 

migratory birds; 

• air quality and noise; 

• endangered and threatened species; 

and 

• public safety. 

We 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 our independent 

analysis of the issues. The EA will be 

available in the public record through 

eLibrary. Depending on the comments 

received during the scoping process, we 

may also publish and distribute the EA 

to the public for an allotted comment 

period. We will consider all comments 

on the EA before making our 

recommendations to the Commission. 

To ensure we have the opportunity to 

consider and address your comments, 

please carefully follow the instructions 

in the Public Participation section 

beginning on page 5. 

With this notice, we are asking 

agencies with jurisdiction by law and/ 

or special expertise with respect to the 

environmental issues of this project to 

formally cooperate with us in the 

preparation of the EA.4 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. 

Consultations 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, we 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.5 We will define the 

project-specific Area of Potential Effects 

(APE) in consultation with the SHPO as 

the project develops. On natural gas 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 27 / Tuesday, February 10, 2015 / Notices 7457 

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). Our EA for this 

project will document our findings on 

the impacts on historic properties and 

summarize the status of consultations 

under section 106. 

Currently Identified Environmental 

Issues 

We have already identified several 

issues that we think deserve attention 

based on a preliminary review of the 

proposed facilities and the 

environmental information provided by 

Transco. This preliminary list of issues 

may be changed based on your 

comments and our analysis. These 

include impacts on: 

• Wetlands and waterbodies; 

• wildlife; 

• migratory birds; 

• vegetation; 

• threatened or endangered species; 

• land use; 

• air quality; 

• noise; and 

• safety. 

Public Participation 

You can make a difference by 

providing us with 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.

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. We will 

update the environmental mailing list as 

the analysis proceeds to ensure that we 

send the information related to this 

environmental review to all individuals, 

organizations, and government entities 

interested in and/or potentially affected 

by the proposed project. 

If we publish and distribute the EA, 

copies will be sent to the environmental 

mailing list for public review and 

comment. If you would prefer to receive 

a paper copy of the document instead of 

the CD version or would like to remove 

your name from the mailing list, please 

return the attached Information Request 

(appendix 2). 

Becoming an Intervenor 

In addition to involvement in the EA 

scoping process, you may want to 

become an ‘‘intervenor’’ which is an 

official party to the Commission’s 

proceeding. Intervenors play a more 

formal role in the process and are able 

to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be 

heard by the courts if they choose to 

appeal the Commission’s final ruling. 

An intervenor formally participates in 

the proceeding by filing a request to 

intervene. Instructions for becoming an 

intervenor are in the User’s Guide under 

the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the Commission’s 

Web site.
