n. The proposed Red Rock 

Hydroelectric Project would be located 

at the existing U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) Red Rock dam, which 

was constructed by the Corps in 1969 

for flood control. The existing Corps 

facilities consist of: (1) A 110-foot-high, 

6,260-foot-long earth-fill dam with a 

241-foot-long gated ogee spillway 

equipped with five 45-foot-high tainter 

gates; and (2) a 15,253-acre reservoir at 

a normal conservation pool water 

surface elevation of 742.0 feet National 

Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929. 

The proposed project would utilize 

the head created by the existing Corps 

dam and consist of: (1) A new, 

approximately 127-foot-long by 19-footwide intake structure connected to; (2) 

three new 19-foot-diameter, 

approximately 211-foot-long penstocks 

passing through the left side of the 

spillway leading to; (3) a new 59-footlong by 132-foot-wide powerhouse 

located directly downstream of the 

existing spillway structure containing 

three new 12.13-megawatt (MW) 

generating units for a total generating 

capacity of 36.4 MW; (4) a new 

approximately 8.4-mile-long, 69-kilovolt 

transmission line; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities. The estimated average annual 

generation would be 158,000 megawatt 

hours. 

The project would be operated in runof-river mode in that it would have no 

storage and only use flows released by 

the Corps in accordance with its present 

operations.

any, will be addressed in an EA. Staff 

intends to give at least 30 days for 

entities to comment on the EA, and will

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP09–59–000] 

Dominion Cove Point LNG, LP; 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Pipeline Compressor 

Addition Project and Request for 

Comments on Environmental Issues 

March 9, 2009. 

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 Pipeline Compressor Addition 

Project (Project) involving construction 

and operation of facilities by Dominion 

Cove Point LNG, LP (Cove Point) in 

Calvert County, Maryland.1 This EA 

will be used by the Commission 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 we will use to 

gather input from the public and 

interested agencies on the project. Your 

input will help the Commission staff 

determine which issues need to be 

evaluated in the EA. Please note that the 

scoping period will close on April 8, 

2009. 

This notice is being sent to affected 

landowners; Federal, State, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. State and local 

government representatives are asked to 

notify their constituents of this planned 

project and encourage them to comment 

on their areas of concern. 

A brochure prepared by the FERC 

entitled ‘‘A Guide to LNG—What All 

Citizens Should Know’’ is available for 

viewing on the FERC Internet Web site 

(http://www.ferc.gov). This brochure 

addresses a number of typically asked 

questions, including what is LNG and 

how is it transported. 

Summary of the Proposed Project 

Cove Point is proposing to construct, 

install and operate on land owned by 

Cove Point: 

• One 3,500 horsepower (HP) electric 

motor driven reciprocating compressor 

unit; 

• Associated compressor piping; 

• Electrical connections for power; 

• System controls; 

• Approximately 900 feet of 6-inch 

pipeline to replace existing 4-inch 108J 

discharge pipeline; 

• Coalescing separator to replace 

existing coalescing separator; and 

• Boil-off gas (BOG) turbine meter to 

replace existing BOG turbine meter. 

The general location of the project 

facilities is shown in Appendix 1.2

If approved, Cove Point proposes to 

commence construction of the proposed 

facilities in the beginning of May 2009 

in order to meet an in-service date of 

early fourth quarter 2009. 

Land Requirements for Construction 

Construction of the project would 

occur entirely on previously developed 

property inside the existing 136 acre 

fenced area for terminal operations and 

within the existing 1,017 acre Cove 

Point terminal site. The temporary 

footprint of the project construction area 

would take place on approximately 2 

acres or less of previously disturbed 

land. The permanent footprint of the 

project area would affect less than 0.1 

acre of previously disturbed land 

currently covered in stone.

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to
