Utah; EIS for a Refined Petroleum

Products Pipeline, Natural Gas

Pipelines and Utility Corridor Analysis

and Plan Amendments

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Utah.

ACTION: Revised Notice of Intent to

Prepare an Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS) (original notice was

published April 28, 1999, (FR Vol. 64,

No. 83 p. 23349–23351) for the

construction of underground pipeline

facilities and above ground structures

for the transportation of Refined

Petroleum Products and Natural Gas

and Notice of Scoping Meetings.

SUMMARY: On April 28, 1999, the Bureau

of Land Management, Utah, announced

its intent to prepare an Environmental

Impact Statement (EIS) and conduct EIS

Scoping Meetings for: (1) Construction

of Pipeline Facilities and Transportation

of refined petroleum products via

underground pipeline in San Juan

County, New Mexico; La Plata,

Montezuma, Dolores, and San Miguel

Counties, Colorado; and San Juan,

Grand, Emery, Carbon, Sanpete, Utah,

Juab and Salt Lake Counties, Utah; and

(2) Construction of Pipeline Facilities

and Transportation of natural gas via an

underground pipeline in Emery, Carbon,

Sanpete, Utah, Juab, and Salt Lake

Counties. This revised notice is to

clarify the proposals, nature of the

proposals, responsible officials, roles of

responsible officials, and decisions.

This revised notice also updates the

project schedule and public

involvement.

Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the

National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA) of 1969, the Bureau of Land

Management (BLM), Utah State Office,

will be the lead agency directing the

preparation of an EIS on the impacts of

proposed transportation of refined

petroleum products and natural gas

through pipelines located on public

lands, including BLM and National

Forest System, State, and private lands

in northwest New Mexico, southwest

Colorado, and southeast to north-central

Utah. In addition, the EIS will also

analyze utility corridors across the

Manti-LaSal and Uinta National Forests

to identify the use and allocate National

Forest System Lands which may or may

not expand the existing designated

corridors and/or identify other

corridors. This analysis may result in

Forest Plan amendments to the MantiLaSal and Uinta National Forest Land

and Resource Management Plans. The

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

(FERC) and USDA Forest Service,

Manti-LaSal and Uinta National Forests,

will be participating in the EIS

preparation as Cooperating Agencies in

accordance with Title 40, Code of

Federal Regulations, Section 1501.6.

The EIS will address all reasonable

alternatives including locating the

pipelines on and off USFS and public

lands.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Williams

Pipeline Company has proposed to

transport refined petroleum products to

the Wasatch Front in Utah, using a

combination of existing pipelines in

New Mexico and Colorado, and a new

segment of pipeline in Utah from near

Crescent Junction, Utah to a terminal on

the Wasatch Front. The refined

petroleum products would include

diesel fuel, fuel oil, jet fuel, and

gasoline. In addition to the Williams

proposal, Questar Pipeline Company

(Questar) and Kern River Gas

Transmission Company (Kern River)

have proposals to transport natural gas

from Price, Utah to the Wasatch Front

and connect to an existing Kern River

pipeline located in central Juab county

and western Utah county. Questar has

proposed to loop it’s existing pipeline

from Price to Payson, provide naturalgas service to the communities of

Goshen, Genola, and Elberta, and

connect to the existing Kern River

Pipeline near Elberta. Kern River has

proposed to construct a new pipeline

from Price to near Indianola, then to a

point just north of Nephi, and then

westerly to intersect the existing Kern

River Pipeline in Dog Valley.

Preliminary Issues

Issues identified at this time include:

biology; visual resources; soils, water,

and air resources and quality;

threatened, endangered and sensitive

plant and animal species; cultural and

historic resources; public health and

safety; geologic and land stability;

roadless areas; multiple entries resulting

in repetitive impacts and the ability to

meet use demands; capacity of the

utility corridor; and social and

economic impacts in association with

oil and natural gas pipeline construction

and operation. Other issues and

concerns may be identified through
