[Docket No. CP09–109–000] 

Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas 

Transmission LLC; Notice of Intent To 

Prepare an Environmental Assessment 

for the Proposed Kinder Morgan 

Huntsman Storage Expansion Project 

and Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues 

April 20, 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 Huntsman Storage Expansion 

Project involving construction and 

operation of facilities by Kinder Morgan 

Interstate Gas Transmission LLC (Kinder 

Morgan) in Cheyenne County, Nebraska. 

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 May 20, 

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. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, you may be contacted by a 

Kinder Morgan representative about 

survey permission and/or 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 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 natural gas company 

could initiate condemnation 

proceedings in accordance with State 

law. 

A fact sheet prepared by the FERC 

entitled ‘‘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 typically asked questions, 

including the use of eminent domain 

and how to participate in the 

Commission’s proceedings. It is 

available for viewing on the FERC 

Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov). 

Summary of the Proposed Project 

Kinder Morgan proposes to construct 

and modify its existing Huntsman 

Storage Facility. Kinder Morgan says 

that the completion of the Huntsman 

Ridge Expansion Project would benefit 

the Rocky Mountain region by meeting 

the immediate and long-term needs of 

the region as well as providing 

flexibility in managing and storing gas 

supplies. 

Kinder Morgan is proposing to: 

• Abandon in place two 1,200 foot 

sections of 8-inch diameter pipeline; 

• Install two injection/withdrawal 

wells; 

• Rework two existing injection/ 

withdrawal wells; 

• Install various ancillary facilities 

including a 400 bbl tank, pig receivers, 

a slug catcher, and a gas cooler; and 

• Install 2,000 feet of 12-inch 

diameter pipeline. 

The general location of the project 

facilities is shown in Appendix 1.1

If approved, Kinder Morgan proposes 

to commence construction of the 

proposed facilities in October 2009, 

with an in-service date of mid-year 

2010. 

Land Requirements for Construction 

Construction and renovation of the 

Huntsman Storage Facility would 

impact about 15.6 temporary acres 

where 0.8 acres would be permanently 

impacted. All land disturbances would 

occur entirely on private lands. 

Kinder Morgan is proposing to utilize 

existing access roads for the proposed 

project. No land disturbance would be 

required for additional access roads. 

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 

Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity. NEPA also requires us to 

discover and address concerns the 

public may have about proposals. This 

process is referred to as ‘‘scoping.’’ The 

main goal of the scoping process is to 

focus the analysis in the EA on the 

important environmental issues. By this 

Notice of Intent, the Commission staff 

requests public comments on the scope 

of the issues to address in the EA. All 

comments received are considered 

during the preparation of the EA. State 

and local government representatives 

are encouraged to notify their 

constituents of this proposed action and 

encourage them to comment on their 

areas of concern. 

In the EA we 2 will discuss impacts 

that could occur as a result of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed project under these general 

headings: 

• Geology and soils, 

• Land use, 

• Water resources, fisheries, and 

wetlands, 

• Cultural resources, 

• Vegetation and wildlife, 

• Air quality and noise, 

• Endangered and threatened species, 

• Public safety. 

We will also evaluate possible 

alternatives to the proposed project or 

portions of the project, and make 

recommendations on how to lessen or 

avoid impacts on the various resource 

areas. 

Our independent analysis of the 

issues will be in the EA. Depending on 

the comments received during the
