DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP10-16-000]


Cadeville Gas Storage, LLC; Notice of Availability of the 
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Cadeville Gas Storage Project

April 30, 2010.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the 
Cadeville Gas Storage Project proposed by Cadeville Gas Storage, LLC 
(Cadeville) in the above referenced docket. Cadeville requests 
authorization to convert a depleted natural gas production field into a 
multi-cycle natural gas storage facility located in Ouachita Parish, 
Louisiana.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the Cadeville Gas Storage Project in 
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy 
Act. The FERC 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 proposed Cadeville Gas Storage Project includes the following 
facilities:
    <bullet> Eight new natural gas injection/withdrawal wells and the 
conversion of three existing wells to observation wells;
    <bullet> A storage field pipeline network and associated 
aboveground facilities including launcher/receiver facilities and valve 
sites;
    <bullet> One compressor station, comprised of five 4,735 horsepower 
natural gas fueled engines with air intake filters/silencers, critical 
grade exhaust silencer/catalyst, a triethylene glycol dehydration 
system, control and safety systems, and associated facilities;

[[Page 26223]]

    <bullet> An approximate 2.6-mile, 16-inch-diameter header pipeline 
connecting the Compressor Station with the facilities of Tennessee Gas 
Pipeline (Tennessee);
    <bullet> An approximate 0.9-mile, 16-inch-diameter header 
connecting the Compressor Station with the facilities of Gulf South 
Pipeline Company, LP (Gulf South);
    <bullet> An approximate 6.4 mile, 24-inch-diameter header pipeline 
connecting the Compressor Station with the facilities of CenterPoint 
Energy Gas Transmission (CenterPoint); and
    <bullet> Three metering and regulation stations, one at each 
interconnection point of the Cadeville Project with Tennessee, 
CenterPoint and Gulf South.
    The storage field piping network would include the South Injection/
Withdrawal Pipeline (about 0.2 miles of 20-inch-diameter pipeline), and 
the North Injection/Withdrawal Pipeline (about 1.4 miles of 16-inch-
diameter pipeline).
    The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC and is 
available for public viewing on the FERC's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. A limited number of copies of the 
EA are available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, 
NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502-8371.
    Copies of the EA have been mailed 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; newspapers and libraries in the project area; and parties to 
this proceeding.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments 
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable 
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. 
The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To 
ensure that your comments are properly recorded and considered prior to 
a Commission decision on the proposal, it is important that the FERC 
receives your comments in Washington, DC on or before July 29, 2010.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit 
your comments to the Commission. In all instances please reference the 
project docket number (CP10-16-000) with your submission. The 
Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has dedicated 
eFiling expert staff available to assist you at (202) 502-8258 or 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#3c595a555055525b7c5a594e5f125b534a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="791c1f101510171e391f1c0b1a571e160f">[email protected]</span></a>.
    (1) You may file your comments electronically by using the Quick 
Comment feature, which is located on the Commission's Web site at 
http://www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and Filings. A Quick 
Comment is an easy method for interested persons to submit text-only 
comments on a project;
    (2) You may file your comments electronically by using the eFiling 
feature, which is located on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and Filings. eFiling involves 
preparing your submission in the same manner as you would if filing on 
paper, and then saving the file on your computer's hard drive. You will 
attach that file as your submission. New eFiling users must first 
create an account by clicking on ``Sign up'' or ``eRegister.'' You will 
be asked to select the type of filing you are making. A comment on a 
particular project is considered a ``Comment on a Filing''; or
    (3) You may file a paper copy of your comments at the following 
address:

Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.

    Although your comments will be considered by the Commission, simply 
filing comments will not serve to make the commentor a party to the 
proceeding. 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 385.214).\1\ Only intervenors 
have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Interventions may also be filed electronically via the 
Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous discussion on filing 
comments electronically.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be 
granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they 
have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be 
adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor 
status to have your comments considered.
    Additional information about the project is available from the 
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC or on the 
FERC Web site (http://www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. Click on

notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission offers a free service called 
eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances 
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time 
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with 
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to 
the documents. Go to http://www.ferc.gov/esubscribenow.htm.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
