DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP18–18–000] 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 

Company LLC Proposed Gateway 

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 Gateway Expansion Project 

involving construction and operation of 

facilities Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line 

Company (Transco) in Essex and Passaic 

Counties, New Jersey. The Commission 

will use this EA 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 on the project. 

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. Your 

input will help the Commission staff 

determine what issues they need to 

evaluate in the EA. To ensure that your 

comments are timely and properly 

recorded, please send your comments so 

that the Commission receives them in 

Washington, DC on or before February 

2, 2018. 

If you sent comments on this project 

to the Commission before the opening of 

this docket on November 16, 2017, you 

will need to file those comments in 

Docket No. CP18–18–000 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 

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 website 

(www.ferc.gov). 

Public Participation 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to submit your 

comments to the Commission. The 

Commission encourages electronic filing 

of comments and has expert staff

that your comments are properly 

recorded.

Summary of the Proposed Project 

Transco proposes to perform the 

following activities for construction of 

the project. 

Compressor Station (CS) 303 (Essex 

County, New Jersey) 

• Expansion of the existing building 

to include one new 33,000 horsepower 

(hp) electric-motor driven compression 

unit and ancillary equipment; 

• Install gas cooling equipment; 

• Extend existing security fencing to 

encompass new equipment; and 

• A new driveway to connect the new 

gas cooler location with CS 303. 

Roseland Meter and Regulator (M&R), 

Essex County, New Jersey 

• One new 36-inch ML block valve 

with automation controls; and 

• Actuator modification on existing 

ML block valve. 

Paterson M&R, Passaic County, New 

Jersey 

• Remove existing 12-inch headers, 

meter skid, building, and associated 

equipment; 

• Install a meter skid with two 6-inch 

ultrasonic meters with 12-inch inlet and 

outlet headers; 

• Install a new M&R building; 

• Install new remote terminal unit 

(RTU)/gas chromatograph building; 

• Install new flow computer, radio, 

and an antenna/pole; and 

• Install a new condensate tank. 

The general location of the project 

facilities is shown in appendix 1.1

Land Requirements for Construction 

Construction of the proposed facilities 

would disturb 9.43 acres of land, with 

9.06 acres being utilized for the CS 303 

site and the remaining 0.37 acres 

utilized for the Paterson M&R site. All 

proposed land affected is currently in 

use as Transco existing property. No 

new land would need to be acquired for 

operational use. 

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
