DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP09–22–000] 

Atmos Pipeline and Storage, LLC; 

Notice of Availability of the 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Fort Necessity Gas Storage 

Project 

March 4, 2009. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) on the 

natural gas pipeline facilities proposed 

by Atmos Pipeline and Storage, LLC 

(Atmos) in the above-referenced docket. 

The EA was prepared to satisfy the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act. The staff 

concludes that approval of the proposed 

project, with appropriate mitigating 

measures, would not constitute a major 

federal action significantly affecting the 

quality of the human environment. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed natural gas storage and 

pipeline facilities including: 

Storage facilities: 

• Three 8.25 billion cubic feet (Bcf) 

salt dome storage caverns (24.75 Bcf 

total) with a total working capacity of 

15.0 Bcf of natural gas, each with a well 

and well pad for solution mining and 

subsequent gas injection/withdrawal; 

• One leaching plant with associated 

pumps, tanks, and piping; 

• Nine water supply wells; 

• Nine brine disposal wells; 

• Two collocated 0.9-mile-long, 30- 

inch-diameter gas pipelines from the 

compressor station to the three cavern 

wells; 

• 0.4 mile of 2-inch-diameter diesel 

injection pipeline extending from the 

leaching plant to the three cavern wells; 

• 0.4 mile of 2-inch-diameter 

instrument air pipeline extending from 

the leaching plant to the three cavern 

wells; 

• 1.7 miles of varying diameter high 

density polyethylene (HDPE) water 

supply pipeline extending from the 

water supply wells to the leaching 

plant; 

• 0.4 mile of 20-inch-diameter steel 

pipeline feeding high pressure water 

extending from the leaching plant to the 

three cavern wells; 

• 0.4 mile of 22-inch-diameter HDPE 

pipeline to return brine from the three 

cavern wells to the leaching plant; 

• 5.5 miles of varying diameter steel 

brine disposal pipeline extending from 

the leaching plant to the brine disposal; 

• Related delivery piping, line 

heaters, pressure vessels, and valves 

along with other appurtenant facilities; 

and 

• One electrical substation consisting 

of two 15/20 mega volt ampere 

transformers. 

Interconnect pipeline facilities: 

• One compressor station with nine 

4,700 horsepower (hp)-rated natural gas 

driven reciprocating compressors, 

totaling 42,300 hp; 

• One dehydration facility; 

• Four meter stations; 

• Two collocated 0.01-mile-long (70- 

foot-long), 36-inch-diameter 

interconnect gas pipelines with one 

metering station to tie in to Tennessee 

Gas Pipeline’s (TGP) existing 30-inchdiameter pipeline; 

• Two collocated 0.8-mile-long, 36- 

inch-diameter interconnect gas 

pipelines with one metering station to 

tie into Columbia Gulf Transmission’s 

(CGT) existing 30- and 36-inch-diameter 

pipelines, continuing northwest from 

the proposed TGP metering station site; 

• Two collocated 6.5-mile-long 30- 

inch-diameter interconnect gas 

pipelines with two metering stations 

collocated within the same fenced area 

to tie into ANR Pipeline Company’s 

(ANR) existing 30- and 36-inch-diameter 

pipelines and to the existing 30-inchdiameter Winnsboro Extension of the 

Regency Energy Partners’ (Regency) 

pipeline, continuing north from the 

proposed CGT metering station site; and 

• All related facilities. 

Atmos states that the project would 

provide new storage. It would 

interconnect with the existing interstate 

pipelines operated by TGP, CGT, and 

ANR, and the intrastate pipeline 

operated by Regency. All proposed 

facilities would be constructed and 

operated in Franklin Parish, Louisiana. 

Atmos proposes beginning construction 

in 2009 and to have Cavern No. 1 in 

service by 2011, Cavern No. 2 in service 

by 2013, and Cavern No. 3 in service by 

2015. 

The EA has been placed in the public 

files of the FERC. A limited number of 

copies of the EA are available for 

distribution and public inspection at: 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, 

NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,

Copies of the EA have been mailed to 

federal, state, and local agencies; public 

interest groups; interested individuals 

and affected landowners; Native 

American tribes; newspapers and 

libraries; and parties to this proceeding.

[Docket No. QF08–564–000] 

Georgia Pacific Toledo LLC; Notice of 

Filing of Notice of Self-Certification of 

Qualifying Status of a Cogeneration 

Facility 

March 5, 2009. 

Take notice that on May 15, 2008, 

Georgia Pacific Toledo LLC (‘‘GP’’), 

1400 SE. Butler Bridge Road, Toledo, 

Oregon 97391, filed with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission a notice 

of self-certification of a facility as a 

qualifying cogeneration facility 

pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(a) of the 

Commission’s regulations. 

GP states that the facility in question 

is a topping-cycle cogeneration facility 

with a primary energy source of natural 

gas. The cogeneration facility consists of 

two black liquor recovery boilers, three 

power boilers, and one hog fuel (bark) 

boiler to generate electricity and process 

heat to serve the resident paper mill. 

The facility is located in Toledo, 

Oregon. 

GP further states that the facility is 

interconnected to Central Lincoln PUD 

(‘‘Lincoln’’), and expects from time-totime to sell energy to or purchase 

supplementary, standby, back-up, and 

maintenance power from Lincoln. 

A notice of self-certification does not 

institute a proceeding regarding 

qualifying facility status; a notice of selfcertification provides notice that the 

entity making filing has determined the 

Facility meets the applicable criteria to 

be a qualifying facility. Any person 

seeking to challenge such qualifying 

facility status may do so by filing a 

motion pursuant to 18 CFR 

292.207(d)(iii). 

This filing is accessible on-line at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC.
