Commission

[Docket No. CP01–141–000]

PG&E Gas Transmission, Northwest

Corporation; Notice of Availability of

the Availability of the Environmental

Assessment for the Proposed 2002

Expansion Project

June 22, 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 PG&E Gas Transmission, Northwest

Corporation (PG&ENW) in the abovereferenced docket.

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

facilities:

• About 21 miles of 42-inch-diameter

pipeline loop adjacent to PG&ENW’s

existing permanent right-of-way at about

mileposts (MP) 87.6 through 108.3 in

Kootenia County, Idaho and Spokane

County, Washington (Loop C). Loop C

would be the third pipeline on

PG&ENW’s transmission system;

• Various piping, blowdown, and

valving additions at Main Line Valve

(MLV) 5–1; and one new pig receiver

and blowdown additions at MLV 5–2;

• One new 19,500 horsepower (hp)

gas-fueled turbine and centrifugal

compressor; construction of three new

buildings; and installation of

replacement standby generator at

Compressor Station 4 in Bonner County,

Idaho;

• Two new pig launchers, and tie-in

facilities of the proposed loop at

Compressor Station 5 in Kootanai

County, Idaho;

• One new 19,500 gas-fueled turbine

and centrifugal compressor;

construction of one new building;

install one new pig receiver; and

replacement of a standby generator at

Compressor Station 6 in Spokane

County, Washington;

• One new 19,500 hp gas-fueled

turbine and centrifugal compressor;

construction of one new building; and

installation of additional gas cooling

facilities and one standby generator at

Compressor Station 8 in Walla Walla

County, Washington;

• One new 19,500 hp gas-fueled

turbine and centrifugal compressor;

construction of two new buildings; and

relation of gas coller and installation of

a replacement standby generator at

Compressor Station 10 in Sherman

County, Oregon; and

• One new 19,500 hp gas-fueled

turbine and centrifugal compressor;

construction of three new buildings;

relocation of one building and gas

cooler; installation of a additional gas

cooling facilities; and replacement of

one standby generator at Compressor

Station 12 Deschutes County, Oregon.
