DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP25–5–000] 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; 

Notice of Schedule for the Preparation 

of an Environmental Assessment for 

the Line 4010 Abandonment Project 

On October 10, 2024, Columbia Gas 

Transmission, LLC filed an application 

in Docket No. CP25–5–000 requesting 

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 Line 

4010 Abandonment Project (Project) and 

would abandon in place and by removal 

13.2 miles of the Line 4010 pipeline and 

all related appurtenances in Jefferson 

and Clarion Counties, Pennsylvania. 

On October 24, 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

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA—May 16, 2025 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline 2—August 14, 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 Line 4010 Abandonment Project 

would abandon about 13.7 miles of 6- 

inch-diameter pipeline in Jefferson and 

Clarion Counties, Pennsylvania and 

abandon above ground facilities, 

including ten meter-stations, five 

mainline valves, and related 

appurtenances along Line 4010, also in 

Jefferson and Clarion Counties. The 

proposed Project would allow Columbia 

to comply with an order issued on April 

22, 2022, by the United States 

Department of Transportation’s Pipeline 

and Hazardous Materials Safety 

Administration (PHMSA) in response to 

an operating incident on Line 4010. 

Columbia determined that abandoning 

Line 4010 is the most prudent response 

given the pipeline’s age, condition, and 

the PHMSA order. 

Background 

On November 19, 2024, the 

Commission issued a ‘‘Notice of 

Scoping Period Requesting Comments 

on Environmental Issues for the 

Proposed Line 4010 Abandonment 

Project and Notice of Public Scoping 

Session’’ (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. In response to the 

Notice of Scoping, the Commission 

received comments from U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Region 3. Region 3 did not have any 

comments at this time regarding the 

Project. 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 

specific dockets, the Commission offers 

a free service called eSubscription. This 

service provides automatic notification 

of filings made to subscribed dockets, 

document summaries, and direct links 

to the documents. Go to https://

www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview to 

register for eSubscription. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission

the following existing facilities: (1) an 

upper reservoir with a surface area of 

278 acres and a gross storage capacity of 

37,910 acre-feet (with an usable storage 

capacity of 23,300 acre-feet—power 

pool) at a normal maximum surface 

elevation of 3,321 feet National Geodetic 

Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29), 

created by a 2,250-foot-long, 460-foothigh, earth and rock-fill dam across 

Little Back Creek with a crest elevation 

of 3,331 feet NGVD29; (2) water 

conduits composed of: (a) three intake 

structures in the upper reservoir; (b) two 

10.75-foot by 28.6-foot wheel gates at 

each of the three intakes; (c) three 

concrete-lined power tunnels, 28.5 feet 

in diameter with an approximately 

3,300 to 3,400-foot-long upper 

horizontal section, a 980-foot-long 

vertical section, and an approximately 

3,267 to 3,686-foot-long lower 

horizontal section, connecting each 

upper intake to two steel-lined 1,185 to 

1,510-foot-long, 18.0 to 19.5-footdiameter underground penstocks; and 

(d) a single-shaft surge tank, 

approximately 44 feet in diameter, for 

each of the power tunnels; (3) a 509- 

foot-long, 145-foot-wide, and 203-foothigh reinforced concrete, primarily 

underground powerhouse with six 65- 

foot-wide bays for generation/pumping 

equipment and one erection bay, located 

on the west side of the lower reservoir, 

housing six Francis reversible pumpturbines each rated at 414 megawatts 

(MW) with a maximum hydraulic 

capacity of 4,600 cubic feet per second 

(cfs) in pumping mode and 5,000 cfs in 

generation mode, and a total installed 

capacity of 2,484 MW; (4) a lower 

reservoir with a surface area of 555 acres 

and a gross storage capacity of 27,300 

acre-feet (with an usable storage 

capacity of 25,620 acre-feet composed of 

a 22,570 acre-foot power pool and 3,050 

acre-foot conservation pool) at a normal 

maximum surface elevation 2,118 feet 

NGVD29, created by a 2,100-foot-long, 

135-foot-high, earth and rock-fill dam 

across Back Creek with a crest elevation 

of 2,136 feet NGVD29; (5) a project 

switchyard on top of the powerhouse 

containing transformers to step-up the 

generator voltage to 500 kilovolts (kV), 

the transmission line voltage; (6) two 

500-kV transmission lines, 

approximately 51 miles (Valley Line) 

and 35 miles long (Lexington Line), 

which interconnect at substations 

located in Augusta County, near 

Bridgewater, Virginia, and Rockbridge 

County, near Lexington, Virginia, 

respectively; and (7) appurtenant 

facilities. 

The average annual energy generation 

(2014 to 2023) is 3,708,814 megawatthours (MWh), and the average annual 

pumping consumption (2000 to 2020) is 

4,599,899 MWh. 

Dominion manages three sediment 

ponds with a combined storage of about 

103.5 acre-feet, located downstream of 

the upper reservoir on Little Back Creek 

outside of the current project boundary. 

The ponds were originally constructed 

to trap and limit sediment input to Little 

Back Creek following project 

construction in 1985, and Dominion 

continues to manage the ponds: (1) as a 

safety feature to protect Little Back 

Creek from excessive sediment 

deposition and flooding in the event of 

an emergency drawdown of the upper 

reservoir; (2) to regulate flows from 

upstream sources including the upper 

reservoir; (3) to supplement downstream 

flow; and (4) to provide recreational 

fishing opportunities. Dominion 

proposes to include the sediment ponds 

within the project boundary to protect 

Little Back Creek by trapping sediment 

in the unlikely event of an emergency 

drawdown of the upper reservoir as well 

as provide recreational access to the 

ponds over the new license term. 

The project also includes an existing 

project recreation area, located 

downstream of the lower reservoir dam 

near Back Creek, that consists of: (1) a 

49-acre upper recreation pond with a 

one-lane concrete boat ramp for electric 

motorized and non-motorized boats, a 

fishing pier/dock, a walking trail, two 

tent-only campsites, and a parking area 

for 22 vehicles; (2) a 26-acre lower 

recreation pond with a swimming 

beach, a recreational field for soccer or 

baseball, a volleyball court, a walking 

trail, three picnic areas with a total of 

18 picnic tables, a pavilion with 

restrooms, a bathhouse with restrooms 

and showers, and a parking area for 65 

vehicles; and (3) a campground with 30 

recreational vehicle campsites (each 

with a gravel pad, fire ring, and picnic 

table), trash cans, a comfort station with 

restrooms and showers, and a check-in 

station. 

Dominion proposes to continue to 

operate the Bath County Project as 

required by the current license. 

Downstream flow releases are 

maintained in compliance with the 

Virginia Water Protection Permit. As 

required by the permit, under normal 

operating conditions: (1) the daily 

average release from the lower reservoir 

shall be no less than the difference 

between 15 cfs and the daily average 

release from the upper reservoir; (2) at 

no time shall the instantaneous release 

from the lower reservoir be less than 10 

cfs; and (3) the instantaneous release 

from the upper reservoir shall be no less 

than 2 cfs. 

Dominion proposes to upgrade the 

turbine-generator units (i.e., 

replacement of turbine runners), 

including associated appurtenant 

facilities. No other structural or 

operational changes to the Bath County 

Project are proposed by Dominion at 

this time.
