DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP20–27–000] 

North Baja Pipeline, LLC; Notice of 

Availability of the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement for The Proposed 

North Baja Xpress Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a draft 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the North Baja XPress Project 

(Project), proposed by North Baja 

Pipeline, LLC (North Baja) in the abovereferenced docket. North Baja requests 

authorization to modify an existing 

compressor station in La Paz County, 

Arizona, as well as install additional 

flow measurement facilities and piping 

modifications at two existing meter 

stations in La Paz County, Arizona and 

Imperial County, California, 

respectively. North Baja states that the 

purpose of the Project is enable the 

transport of 495,000 dekatherms per day 

of natural gas to the United States/ 

Mexico border for its shipper, Sempra 

LNG International, LLC. 

The draft EIS responds to comments 

that were received on the Commission’s 

September 8, 2020 Environmental 

Assessment (EA) 1 and discloses 

downstream greenhouse gas emissions 

for the Project. With the exception of 

climate change impacts, the FERC staff 

concludes that approval of the proposed 

Project, with the mitigation measures 

recommended in the EIS, would not 

result in significant environmental 

impacts. FERC staff continues to be 

unable to determine significance with 

regards to climate change impacts. 

The U.S. Department of the Interior 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 

participated as a cooperating agency in 

the preparation of the EA and the draft 

EIS. Cooperating agencies have 

jurisdiction by law or special expertise 

with respect to resources potentially 

affected by the proposal and participate 

in the National Environmental Policy 

Act analysis. The BLM may adopt and 

use the EA and EIS to consider the 

issuance of a right-of-way grant for the 

use of a temporary workspace requested 

by North Baja on BLM-administered 

public lands adjacent to the Ogilby 

Meter Station in Imperial County, 

California. 

The draft EIS incorporates the abovereferenced EA, which addressed the 

potential environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

following Project facilities: 

• One new 31,900-horsepower 

compressor unit and restaging of two 

existing 7,700-horsepower compressor 

units at North Baja’s existing Ehrenberg 

Compressor Station in La Paz County, 

Arizona; and 

• flow measurement facilities and 

piping modifications at North Baja’s 

existing El Paso and Ogilby Meter 

Stations in La Paz County, Arizona and 

Imperial County, California, 

respectively. 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Proposed North Baja XPress 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,

CP20–27). Be sure you have selected an

The draft EIS is not a decision 

document. It presents Commission 

staff’s independent analysis of the 

environmental issues for the 

Commission to consider when 

addressing the merits of all issues in 

this proceeding. Any person wishing to 

comment on the draft EIS may do so. 

Your comments should focus on draft 

EIS’s disclosure and discussion of 

potential environmental effects, 

including climate impacts due to 

downstream greenhouse gas emissions, 

and measures to avoid or lessen 

environmental impacts. To ensure 

consideration of your comments on the 

proposal in the final EIS, it is important 

that the Commission receive your 

comments on or before 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on August 30, 2021.

which no other party can adequately 

represent. Simply filing environmental 

comments will not give you intervenor 

status, but you do not need intervenor 

status to have your comments 

considered.
