3A ‘‘pig’’ is a tool that the pipeline company 

inserts into and pushes through the pipeline for 

cleaning the pipeline, conducting internal 

inspections, or other purposes. 

gas in the A-line to other existing 

mainlines on Northern’s system. 

Northern also proposes to construct and 

operate a 6.04-mile-long extension of its 

30-inch-diameter Ogden to Ventura 

IAM60604 D-line (referred to as the DLine) and appurtenances to replace the 

capacity associated with the abandoned 

A-line. According to Northern, its 

Project would enhance the safety, 

reliability, security, and operational 

efficiency of its pipeline system. 

The Project would consist of the 

following facilities: 

• Disconnecting the 20-inch-diameter 

A-Line near the Ogden Compressor 

Station in Boone County, Iowa; 

• disconnecting the 20-inch-diameter 

A-Line at the Eagle Grove branch line 

take-off in Wright County, Iowa; 

• installing temporary compression at 

three discrete locations (one 300 

horsepower unit within Boone, Webster, 

and Hancock Counties) to evacuate gas 

from the A-Line to the IAM60602 B-line; 

• disconnecting the 20-inch-diameter 

A-Line at the Ventura Compressor 

Station in Hancock County, Iowa; and 

• installing a pipeline extension of 

the D-Line consisting of 6.04 miles of 

30-inch-diameter pipeline and an 

associated aboveground pig receiver 3 in 

Wright County, Iowa. 

Background 

On March 4, 2022, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Scoping Period 

Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Ogden to Ventura A-Line Abandonment 

and Capacity Replacement Project 

(Notice of Scoping). The Notice of 

Scoping was sent to affected 

landowners; federal, state, and local 

government agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. In response to the 

Notice of Scoping, the Commission 

received comments from six 

landowners. The primary issues raised 

by the commenters are impacts on 

agricultural land; final disposition of the 

pipeline; and an objection to the Project 

pending the applicant provide 

additional information to identify 

affected properties. All substantive 

comments will be addressed in the EA. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets, the Commission offers 

a free service called eSubscription. This 

service provides automatic notification 

of filings made to subscribed dockets, 

document summaries, and direct links 

to the documents. Go to https://
