BILLING CODE 6717–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP20–48–000] 

Iroquois Gas Transmission System, 

L.P.; Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Enhancement by 

Compression Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a draft 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the Enhancement by Compression 

Project (Project), proposed by Iroquois 

Gas Transmission System, L.P. 

(Iroquois) in the above-referenced 

docket. Iroquois requests authorization 

to construct and operate natural gas 

transmission facilities in New York and 

Connecticut. The Project is designed to 

provide a total of 125,000 dekatherms 

per day of incremental firm 

transportation service for two existing 

customers of Iroquois, Consolidated 

Edison Company of New York, Inc. and 

KeySpan Gas East Corporation doing 

business as National Grid. 

The draft EIS responds to comments 

that were received on the Commission’s 

September 30, 2020 Environmental 

Assessment (EA) 1 and discloses 

downstream greenhouse gas emissions 

for the Project. With the exception of 

greenhouse gas emissions, the FERC 

staff concludes that approval of the 

proposed Project, with the mitigation 

measures recommended in this EIS, 

would not result in significant 

environmental impacts. FERC staff 

continues to be unable to come to a 

determination of significance with 

regards to greenhouse gas emissions. 

The draft EIS incorporates the above 

referenced EA, which addressed the 

potential environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

following Project facilities: 

• Athens Compressor Station— 

installation of one new 12,000 

horsepower (hp) natural gas turbine 

(Unit A2) in a new building with 

associated cooling, filter separators, and 

other facilities connecting to Iroquois’ 

existing 24-inch-diameter mainline 

within the existing fenced compressor 

station boundary (Greene County, New 

York). 

• Dover Compressor Station— 

installation of one new 12,000 hp 

natural gas turbine (Unit A2) in a new 

building with associated cooling, filter 

separators, and other facilities 

connecting to Iroquois’ existing 24-inchdiameter mainline and expansion of the 

existing compressor station fenceline 

within the property boundary (Dutchess 

County, New York). 

• Brookfield Compressor Station— 

construction of a control/office building, 

addition of two new, natural gas 12,000 

hp turbines (Unit B1 and Unit B2) in a 

new building with associated cooling, 

filter separators, and other typical 

facilities connecting to Iroquois’ existing 

24-inch-diameter mainline. 

Additionally, Iroquois would install 

incremental cooling at Plant 2–A to 

allow for compressed discharge gas to 

be cooled, prior to being compressed at 

the proposed downstream compressors 

(Units B1 and B2). Iroquois would also 

replace existing turbine stacks on the 

existing compressor units (Unit-A1 and 

Unit-A2) and add other noise reduction 

measures (e.g., louvers, seals) to 

minimize existing noise at the site. 

Modifications at this site would require 

expansion of the existing compressor 

station fenceline within the property 

boundary (Fairfield County, 

Connecticut). 

• Milford Compressor Station— 

addition of gas cooling to existing 

compressor units and associated piping 

to allow for compressed discharge gas to 

be cooled within the current fenced 

boundaries of the existing compressor 

station, where no gas cooling facilities 

currently exist (New Haven County, 

Connecticut). 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Proposed Enhancement by Compression 

Project to federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

Project area. The draft EIS is only 

available in electronic format. It may be 

viewed and downloaded from the 

FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov), on the 

natural gas environmental documents 

page (https://www.ferc.gov/industriesdata/natural-gas/environment/ 

environmental-documents). In addition, 

the draft EIS may be accessed by using 

the eLibrary link on the FERC’s website. 

Click on the eLibrary link (https://

elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search) select 

‘‘General Search’’ and enter the docket 

number in the ‘‘Docket Number’’ field 

(i.e. CP20–48). Be sure you have 

selected an appropriate date range. For
