Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C. filed an 

application in Docket No. CP24–529– 

000 requesting an Authorization 

pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural 

Gas Act to abandon certain natural gas 

pipeline facilities. The proposed project 

is known as the 507G Line 

Abandonment Project (Project) and 

would consist of abandonment in-place 

and by removal of a portion of the 

507G–100 Line and the 507G–500 Line. 

On October 11, 2024, the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice 

of Application and Establishing 

Intervention Deadline (Notice of 

Application) for the Project. Among 

other things, that notice alerted agencies 

issuing federal authorizations of the 

requirement to complete all necessary 

reviews and to reach a final decision on 

a request for a federal authorization 

within 90 days of the date of issuance 

of the Commission staff’s environmental 

document for the Project. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Project and the planned schedule for the 

completion of the environmental 

review.1 The EA will be issued for a 30- 

day comment period. 

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA—April 25, 2025 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline 2—July 24, 2025 

If a schedule change becomes 

necessary, additional notice will be 

provided so that the relevant agencies 

are kept informed of the Project’s 

progress. 

Project Description 

The Project would consist of 

abandonment in-place of approximately 

59.6 miles and abandonment by removal 

at 56 locations, totaling 15.8 miles, of 

the 16-inch-diameter 507G–100 Line 

and disconnection and removal of 

appurtenant facilities at 44 locations. In 

addition, the Project would involve 

abandonment in-place of about 7.9

Background 

On November 7, 2024, the 

Commission issued a Notice of Scoping 

Period Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

507G Line Abandonment Project (Notice 

of Scoping). The Notice of Scoping was 

sent to affected landowners; Federal, 

State, and local government agencies; 

elected officials; environmental and 

public interest groups; Native American 

tribes; other interested parties; and local 

libraries and newspapers. The 

Commission received comments from 

the West St. Mary Port Harbor and 

Terminal District; Josephine Heinen 

Wetlands, LLC; and Don Caffery, 

representing M.A. Patout & Son Limited, 

L.L.C., Sterling Sugars, L.L.C., D.T. 

Caffery, L.L.C., and several property 

owners in their individual capacity, 

indicating a preference that pipeline 

segments on their property be 

abandoned by removal rather than inplace. In addition, the Commission 

received comments from Louisiana 

Department of Wildlife and Fisheries 

regarding burial depth and potential for 

exposures in navigable waterways, and 

the Louisiana Ecological Services Office 

providing instructions for their online 

screening tool for listed species. All 

substantive comments will be addressed 

in the EA. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

formal issuances and submittals in

service provides automatic notification 

of filings made to subscribed dockets, 

document summaries, and direct links
