DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP08–458–000] 

UGI LNG, Inc.; Notice of Availability of 

the Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Temple LNG Plant 

Expansion Project 

April 10, 2009. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) on the 

expansion of the Temple LNG Plant 

proposed by UGI LNG, Inc. (UGI LNG) 

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 expansion 

of UGI LNG’s existing liquefied natural 

gas (LNG) peak-shaving facility located 

in Ontelaunee Township, Berks County, 

Pennsylvania. Project components 

include: 

• A full-containment LNG storage 

tank designed to store a gross volume of 

50,000 cubic meters (m3) (314,500 

barrels) of LNG at a maximum allowable 

operating pressure (MAOP) of 2.5 

pounds per square inch (psig); 

• A send-out/vaporization system to 

pressurize and vaporize the LNG; 

• A vapor-handling system to recover 

and compress vaporized LNG; 

• A tertiary containment system 

consisting of a system of swales, earthen 

berms, bio-retention basin, grading, and 

concrete barricades designed to contain 

the entire contents of the LNG storage 

tank; and 

• Other LNG storage facility 

components, including a power 

distribution system expansion, a new 

emergency generator, a control building 

addition, a security fence, and access 

roads. 

UGI LNG states that the project would 

provide new storage and peaking 

distribution of natural gas. It would 

send out natural gas through existing 

Utilities, Inc. and Texas Eastern 

Transmission Company pipeline 

systems. 

All proposed facilities would be 

constructed and operated in Berks 

County, Pennsylvania. UGI LNG 

proposes beginning construction in 

2009 and to have the project in service 

by November 2011. 

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 and affected landowners; 

Native American tribes; newspapers and 

libraries; and parties to this proceeding.

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

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. PF09–6–000] 

Questar Overthrust Pipeline Company; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Loop Expansion Project and 

Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues 

April 10, 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 Loop Expansion Project (project) 

planned by Questar Overthrust Pipeline 

Company (Overthrust). The project 

consists of about 43 miles of 36-inchdiameter pipeline within Uinta and 

Sweetwater Counties, Wyoming. The 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 used to gather input 

from the public and interested agencies 

on the project. Your input will help the 

Commission staff determine what issues 

need to be evaluated in the EA. Please 

note that the scoping period will close 

on May 11, 2009. 

This Notice of Intent (NOI) is being 

sent to affected landowners; Federal, 

State, and local government 

representatives and agencies; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. We 1 encourage 

government representatives to notify 

their constituents of this planned 

project and encourage them to comment 

on their areas of concern. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, you may be contacted by a 

pipeline company representative about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

planned facilities. The pipeline 

company would seek to negotiate a 

mutually acceptable agreement. 

However, if the project is approved by 

the Commission, 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 in accordance with state 

law. 

A fact sheet prepared by the FERC, 

‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility on 

My Land? What Do I Need to Know?’’ 

is available for viewing on the FERC 

Web site (http://www.ferc.gov). This fact 

sheet addresses a number of typicallyasked questions, including those 

focusing on the use of eminent domain 

and how to participate in the FERC’s 

proceedings. 

Summary of the Planned Project 

The planned Loop Expansion Project 

would consist of the following facilities: 

• About 43 miles of 36-inch-diameter 

pipeline in Uinta and Sweetwater 

Counties, Wyoming; 

• A bypass valve assembly tie-in at 

the Rock Springs Compressor Station in 

Rock Springs, Wyoming; 

• A new crossover valve assembly at 

milepost (MP) 43.3; and 

• Two 36-inch-diameter block valves 

at MPs 18.6 and 38.5. 

The Loop Expansion Project would 

allow Overthrust to provide up to 

800,000 dekatherms per day of natural 

gas westbound to Kern River Gas 

Transmission Company and to El Paso 

Corporation’s proposed Ruby Pipeline. 

A general location map of 

Overthrust’s planned facilities is 

provided in appendix 1.2

Land Requirements for Construction 

Construction of Overthrust’s planned 

facilities would disturb about 833 acres 

of land including aboveground facilities 

and the pipeline. Overthrust would 

utilize existing public roads to access 

the work areas. Following construction, 

about 262.3 acres would be maintained 

for permanent operation of the project’s 

facilities while the remaining acreage 

would be restored and allowed to revert 

to former uses. About 90 percent (39.1 

miles) of the planned pipeline would be 

collocated with existing pipeline, 

utility, or road ROWs.
