DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP22–24–000] 

Equitrans L.P.; Notice of Scoping 

Period Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Truittsburg Well Conversion 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 Truittsburg Well Conversion Project 

involving construction and operation of 

facilities by Equitrans L.P. (Equitrans) in 

Clarion County, Pennsylvania. 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 a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity. 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 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 

February 4, 2022. 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 December 13, 

2022, you will need to file those 

comments in Docket No. CP22–24–000 

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. 

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 

easement agreement. You are not 

required to enter into an agreement. 

However, if the Commission approves 

the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys 

the right of eminent domain to the 

company. Therefore, if you and the 

company do not reach an easement 

agreement, the pipeline company could 

initiate condemnation proceedings in 

court. In such instances, compensation 

would be determined by a judge in 

accordance with state law. The 

Commission does not subsequently 

grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise 

of that eminent domain authority. The 

courts have exclusive authority to 

handle eminent domain cases; the 

Commission has no jurisdiction over 

these matters. 

Equitrans 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 Questions or 

Landowner Topics link. 

Public Participation 

There are three methods you can use 

to submit your comments to the 

Commission. Please carefully follow 

these instructions so that your 

comments are properly recorded. The 

Commission encourages electronic filing 

of comments and has staff available to 

assist you at (866) 208–3676 or 

FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov.

Summary of the Proposed Project 

Equitrans is proposing to convert two 

observation wells into injection/ 

withdrawal (I/W) wells in the existing 

Truittsburg Storage Field. Specifically, 

Equitrans is proposing to add 

approximately 1,119 feet of 4-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline to convert 

Truittsburg wells 2483 and 2484 from 

observation wells to I/W wells and 

install pigging 1 valves at the wellheads 

and associated piping. According to 

Equitrans, the purpose for the project is 

to transport gas from the wells to the 

main storage trunk line thereby 

increasing working gas capacity at the 

Truittsburg Storage Field. 

The general location of the project 

facilities is shown in appendix 1.2

Land Requirements for Construction 

The project would result in temporary 

impacts on 1.44 acres, with no 

permanent land impacts. Construction 

activities would require the use of 831 

feet of existing permanent access roads 

and 1.44 acres of new pipeline right-ofway and temporary workspace. 

NEPA Process and the Environmental 

Document 

Any environmental document issued 

by the Commission will discuss impacts 

that could occur as a result of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed project under the relevant 

general resource areas: 

• Geology and soils; 

• water resources and wetlands; 

• vegetation and wildlife; 

• threatened and endangered species; 

• cultural resources; 

• land use; 

• socioeconomics; 

• environmental justice; 

• air quality and noise; and 

• reliability and safety. 

Commission staff 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. Your comments will 

help Commission staff identify and 

focus on the issues that might have an 

effect on the human environment and 

potentially eliminate others from further 

study and discussion in the 

environmental document. 

Following this scoping period, 

Commission staff will determine 

whether to prepare an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) or an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS). The EA or the 

EIS will present Commission staff’s 

independent analysis of the issues. If 

Commission staff prepares an EA, a 

Notice of Schedule for the Preparation 

of an Environmental Assessment will be 

issued. The EA may be issued for an 

allotted public comment period. The 

Commission would consider timely 

comments on the EA before making its 

decision regarding the proposed project. 

If Commission staff prepares an EIS, a 

Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS/ 

Notice of Schedule will be issued, 

which will open up an additional 

comment period. Staff will then prepare 

a draft EIS which will be issued for 

public comment. Commission staff will 

consider all timely comments received 

during the comment period on the draft 

EIS and revise the document, as 

necessary, before issuing a final EIS. 

Any EA or draft and final EIS will be 

available in electronic format in the 

public record through eLibrary 3 and the 

Commission’s natural gas 

environmental documents web page 

(https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/ 

natural-gas/environment/ 

environmental-documents). If 

eSubscribed, you will receive instant 

email notification when the 

environmental document is issued. 

With this notice, the Commission is 

asking agencies with jurisdiction by law 

and/or special expertise with respect to 

the environmental issues of this project 

to formally cooperate in the preparation 

of the environmental document.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. 

Consultation 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, the Commission is 

using this notice to initiate consultation 

with the applicable State Historic 

Preservation Office, 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 The 

environmental document for this project 

will document findings on the impacts 

on historic properties and summarize 

the status of consultations under section 

106.
