DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP17–40–006] 

Spire STL Pipeline LLC ; Notice of 

Availability of the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Spire Stl 

Pipeline Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a draft 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the continued operation of the Spire 

STL Pipeline Project (Spire STL), 

proposed by Spire STL Pipeline LLC 

(Spire) in the above-referenced docket. 

Spire requests the Commission to 

reissue a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity authorizing 

operation of the Spire STL. 

The draft EIS assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the continued 

operation of the Spire STL in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). FERC staff concludes that 

impacts from the continued operation of 

the Spire STL would be less than 

significant, with the exception of 

climate change impacts resulting from 

GHG emissions that are not 

characterized as significant or 

insignificant. 

The draft EIS addresses the potential 

environmental effects of the continued 

operation of the following project 

facilities: 

• 59.2 miles of 24-inch-diameter 

pipeline in Scott, Greene, and Jersey 

Counties, Illinois and St. Charles and St. 

Louis Counties, Missouri; 

• 6.0 miles of 24-inch-diameter 

pipeline (the North County Extension) 

in St. Louis County, Missouri; and 

• three new meter stations—the 

Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (REX) 

Receipt Station in Scott County, Illinois 

and the Laclede/Lange Delivery Station 

and Chain of Rocks station in St. Louis 

County, Missouri. 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

Notice of Availability of the draft EIS 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.

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, 

reasonable alternatives, 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 8, 2022.

a project; 

(2) You can file your comments 

electronically by using the eFiling

Any person seeking to become a party 

to the proceeding must file a motion to 

intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (18 CFR part 385.214). 

Motions to intervene are more fully 

described at https://www.ferc.gov/ferconline/ferc-online/how-guides. Only 

intervenors have the right to seek 

rehearing or judicial review of the 

Commission’s decision. The 

Commission grants affected landowners 

and others with environmental concerns 

intervenor status upon showing good 

cause by stating that they have a clear 

and direct interest in this proceeding 

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.

project is available from the
