Horizon Pipeline Company, L.L.C.,

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of

America; Notice of Availability of the

Environmental Assessment for the

Proposed Horizon Project

May 11, 2001.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) has prepared an

environmental assessment (EA) on the

natural gas pipeline facilities proposed

by Horizon Pipeline Company L.L.C.

(Horizon) and Natural Gas Pipeline

Company of America (Natural) in the

above-referenced dockets.

The EA was prepared to satisfy the

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act. The staff

concludes that approval of the proposed

project, with appropriate mitigating

measures, would not constitute a major

Federal action significantly affecting the

quality of the human environment.

The EA assesses the potential

environmental effects of the

construction and operation of the

following proposed natural gas

transmission facilities:

• Approximately 28.5 miles of new

36-inch-diameter pipeline and leased

firm capacity on 42 miles of existing

pipeline facilities;

• Approximately 0.13 mile of new 24-

inch-diameter piping, auxiliary piping,

and valves at Natural’s existing

Compressor Station 113;

• Approximately 12,590 horsepower

(hp) of additional compression at

Compressor Station 113;

• Approximately 0.05 mile of new 20-

inch-diameter lateral;

• Approximately 0.01 mile of new 12-

inch-diameter lateral;

• Four meter stations;

• Two mainline block valves;

• Three taps; and

• Modified station pipping at

Natural’s existing Streamwood Meter

Station.

The purpose of the proposed facilities

is to provide a firm capacity of 380

thousand dekatherms per day (MDth/d)

of natural gas that would accommodate

the continued growth in demand for

additional competitively-priced gas

supply in northern Illinois.

The EA has been placed in the public

files of the FERC. A limited number of

copies of the EA are available for

distribution and public inspection at:

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

Public Reference and Files Maintenance

Branch, 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A,

Washington, DC 20426, (202) 208–1371.

Copies of the EA have been mailed to

Federal, state and local agencies, public

interest groups, interested individuals,

newspapers, and parties to this

proceeding.

Any person wishing to comment on

the EA may do so. To ensure

consideration prior to a Commission

decision on the proposal, it is important

that we receive your comments before

the date specified below. Please

carefully follow these instructions to

ensure that your comments are received

in time and properly recorded:
