DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket Nos. CP23–516–000; CP23–516– 

001] 

East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC; 

Notice of Availability of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Ridgeline Expansion 

Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a final 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the Ridgeline Expansion Project 

(Project), proposed by East Tennessee 

Natural Gas, LLC (East Tennessee) in the 

above-referenced docket. East Tennessee 

requests authorization to construct and 

operate 122.2 miles of 30-inch-diameter 

natural gas pipeline and associated 

facilities in Trousdale, Smith, Jackson, 

Putnam, Overton, Fentress, Morgan, and 

Roane Counties, Tennessee. The 

purpose of the Project is to provide 

about 300,000 dekatherms per day of 

new firm natural gas transportation 

capacity and up to 95,000 dekatherms of 

customized delivery service (i.e., 

peaking service) from multiple 

providers to the site of Tennessee Valley 

Authority’s Kingston Fossil Plant. 

The final EIS assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

Project in accordance with the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The 

FERC staff concludes that approval of 

the proposed Project would have some 

limited adverse environmental effects; 

however, with implementation of East 

Tennessee’s impact avoidance, 

minimization, and mitigation measures, 

as well as adherence to the mitigation 

measures recommended in the EIS, 

these effects would be avoided, 

mitigated, or reduced to less-thansignificant levels. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(USACE), the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, and the National Park 

Service participated as cooperating 

agencies in the preparation of the EIS. 

Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction 

by law or special expertise with respect 

to resources potentially affected by the 

proposal and participate in the NEPA 

analysis. The USACE will adopt and use 

the EIS to consider the issuance of an 

Individual Permit under section 404 of 

the Clean Water Act. Although the 

USACE provided input to the 

conclusions and recommendations 

presented in the final EIS, the USACE 

will present its own conclusions and 

recommendations in its Record of 

Decision for the Project. 

The final EIS addresses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

following Project facilities, all in the 

State of Tennessee: 

• 122.2 miles of 30-inch-diameter 

pipeline in Trousdale, Smith, Jackson, 

Putnam, Overton, Fentress, Morgan, and 

Roane Counties, including 4.0 miles of 

header pipeline and 118.2 miles of 

mainline pipeline (collectively referred 

to as the Mainline); 

• a new 14,600-horsepower, electricdriven compressor station (Hartsville 

Compressor Station) and an associated 

solar array to partially power the facility 

in Trousdale County; 

• a new meter and regulating station 

to receive gas from Columbia Gulf 

Transmission, LLC in Trousdale County; 

• modifications to two existing meter 

and regulating stations to receive gas 

from Texas Eastern Transmission, LP 

and Midwestern Gas Transmission 

Company in Trousdale County;
