Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP08–36–000] 

Chestnut Ridge, LLC; Notice of 

Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed JCT 

Storage Project 

March 27, 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 Chestnut Ridge LLC in the abovereferenced docket. 

The EA was prepared to satisfy the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA). The FERC 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 Chestnut 

Ridge LLC’s proposed JCT Storage 

Project. Chestnut Ridge proposes to 

convert an existing, diminished natural 

gas production field—the West Summit 

Field, which extends from Fayette 

County, Pennsylvania into Preston and 

Monongalia Counties, West Virginia— 

into a gas storage facility with up to 25 

billion cubic feet of working gas 

capacity and up to 500,000 dekatherms 

per day of injection and withdrawal 

capacity. Proposed construction would 

include: 

• Recompletion/drilling of up to 25 

injection/withdrawal or observation 

wells, 14 of which would be new wells 

and 11 existing wells; 

• Construction of approximately 14 

miles of gathering laterals from 

individual wells to a new compressor 

station; 

• Construction of an approximate 

25,000 horsepower compressor station; 

• Construction of a 1,900 foot 24-inch 

diameter pipeline header connecting to 

a Columbia Gas pipeline; 

• Construction of a 21.5-mile 24-inch 

diameter pipeline header connecting to 

the Dominion Transmission, Inc./Texas 

Eastern interstate pipeline; 

• Construction of a 1.5 mile, 138- 

kilovolt radial transmission line to 

connect to the Junction Compressor 

Station with a switchyard and a 

switching and metering station; and, 

• Construction of appurtenant 

facilities consisting of tap valves, pig 

launchers and receivers, meter and 

regulator stations, separation and 

control systems, and access roads. 

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, 

(202) 502–8371. 

Copies of the EA have been mailed to 

federal, state, and local agencies; public 

interest groups; interested individuals; 

newspapers and libraries in the project 

area; Native America groups; and parties 

to this proceeding. Any person wishing 

to comment on the EA may do so. To 

ensure consideration prior to a 

Commission decision on the proposal, it 

is important that we receive your 

comments before the date specified 

below. 

You can make a difference by 

providing us with your specific 

comments or concerns about the JCT 

Storage Project. Your comments should 

focus on the potential environmental 

effects, reasonable alternatives, and 

measures to avoid or lessen 

environmental impacts. The more 

specific your comments, the more useful 

they will be. To ensure that your 

comments are timely and properly 

recorded, please send your comments so 

that they will be received in 

Washington, DC on or before April 26, 

2009. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods which you can use to submit 

your comments to the Commission. In 

all instances please reference the project 

docket number CP08–36–000 with your 

submission. The docket number can be 

found on the front of this notice. The 

Commission encourages electronic filing 

of comments and has dedicated eFiling 

expert staff available to assist you at 

202–502–8258 or efiling@ferc.gov.
