DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP22–16–000] 

Georgia-Pacific Consumer Operations 

LLC; Notice of Scoping Period 

Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Georgia-Pacific Consumer Pipeline 

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 Georgia-Pacific Consumer 

Operations LLC (GPC) Pipeline 

Abandonment Project (Project) 

involving abandonment and removal of 

interstate natural gas transmission 

facilities by GPC in Louisiana and 

Arkansas. The Commission will use this 

environmental document in its 

decision-making process. 

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 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 

3, 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 November 16, 

2021, you will need to file those 

comments in Docket No. CP22–16–000 

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 workspace needed to 

abandon the proposed facilities. The 

company would seek to negotiate a 

mutually acceptable 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 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. 

Georgia-Pacific 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

Summary of the Proposed Project 

GPC proposes to abandon in-place 

approximately 19.5 miles of eight-inchdiameter natural gas transmission 

pipeline and auxiliary facilities that 

originate from the out-of-service DCP 

Midstream (DCPM) Transfer Station in 

Union Parish, Louisiana to a point 

approximately one mile east of GPC’s 

Crossett Facility in Ashley County, 

Arkansas. Additionally, GPC proposes 

to abandon by removal all aboveground 

features associated with the 19.5 miles 

of pipeline. 

The GPC Pipeline has been 

disconnected from all gas pipeline 

sources. GPC proposes to permanently 

abandon the pipeline by purging the 

pipeline, and filling it with inert gas or 

flowable fill, consistent with federal 

pipeline safety abandonment 

regulations at 49 CFR 192.727, and any 

other required federal, state, or local 

requirements. 

The general location of the project 

facilities is shown in appendix 1.1

Land Requirements for Construction 

The total surface disturbance 

associated with the Project is expected 

to be 2.8 acres; of this 2.2 acres are 

associated with the road and railroad 

crossings and 0.65 acres are associated 

with the removal of the aboveground 

structures. All of the land disturbing 

activities would be temporary. The areas 

where soils are disturbed will be 

stabilized as soon as practicable and 

seeded with native grasses. GPC intends 

to retain its existing right-of-way 

easement. 

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; 

• 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 prepare an 

Environmental Assessment (EA). The 

EA will present Commission staff’s 

independent analysis of the issues. 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. 

Any EA will be available in electronic 

format in the public record through 

eLibrary 2 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.3

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(s), 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.4
