DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. PF10–8–000] 

Duke Energy Indiana, Inc.; Notice of 

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Assessment for the Planned Gallagher 

Station Project, and Request for 

Comments on Environmental Issues 

May 12, 2010. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the Gallagher Station Project, involving 

construction and operation of facilities 

by Duke Energy Indiana, Inc. (DEI) in 

Floyd and Harrison Counties, Indiana 

(IN) and Jefferson County, Kentucky 

(KY). The facilities include 20 miles of 

20-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline, 

supporting valves and other meter 

stations. This EA will be used by the 

Commission in its decision-making 

process to determine whether the 

project is in the public convenience and 

necessity. 

This notice announces the opening of 

the scoping process the Commission 

will use to gather input from the public 

and interested agencies on the project. 

Your input will help the Commission 

staff determine what issues need to be 

evaluated in the EA. Please note that the 

scoping period will close on June 11, 

2010. 

This notice is being sent to affected 

landowners; federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. State and local 

government representatives are asked to 

notify their constituents of this planned 

project and encourage them to comment 

on their areas of concern. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, you may be contacted by a 

pipeline company representative about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

planned facilities. The company would 

seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable

Regulations, Part 800.2(d). 

agreement. However, if the project is 

approved by the Commission, that 

approval conveys with it the right of 

eminent domain. Therefore, if easement 

negotiations fail to produce an 

agreement, the pipeline company could 

initiate condemnation proceedings in 

accordance with state law. 

A fact sheet prepared by the FERC 

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas 

Facility On My Land? What Do I Need 

To Know?’’ is available for viewing on 

the FERC Web site (http:// 

www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet addresses 

a number of typically-asked questions, 

including the use of eminent domain 

and how to participate in the 

Commission’s proceedings. 

Summary of the Planned Project 

DEI plans to construct and operate 

approximately 20 miles of 20-inchdiameter pipeline. According to DEI, its 

project would enable it to provide 

natural gas from the existing interstate 

pipeline facilities of Texas Gas 

Transmission, LLC. (Texas Gas) in 

Jefferson County, KY to two of four 

existing coal-fired units at the Gallagher 

Station which are being converted to 

natural gas-fired units. The electric 

generating pipeline would be designed 

to have a delivery pressure of 480 psig 

to the Gallagher Station; with a peak 

flow rate of 5.6 million cubic feet per 

hour (MMcf/hr) and an off-peak flow 

rate of 4.4 MMcf/hr. 

The Gallagher Station Project would 

also include: 

• Construction of one new natural gas 

meter station at Milepost (MP) 0.0 in 

Jefferson County, KY; 

• Construction of one new natural gas 

metering and regulation station at MP 

19.52 in Floyd County, IN; and 

• Construction of two mainline block 

valves: One in Floyd County, IN at MP 

13.52, and the other in Harrison County 

at MP 7.21. 

The general location of the project 

facilities is shown in appendix 1.1

Land Requirements for Construction 

Construction of the planned facilities 

would disturb about 286 acres of land 

for the aboveground facilities and the 

pipeline. Following construction, about 

118 acres would be maintained for 

permanent operation of the project’s 

facilities; the remaining acreage would 

be restored and allowed to revert to 

former uses. About 50 percent of the 

planned pipeline route parallels an 

existing electric transmission and road 

right-of-way (ROW). 

The EA Process 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to 

take into account the environmental 

impacts that could result from an action 

whenever it considers the issuance of a 

Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity. NEPA also requires us 2 to 

discover and address concerns the 

public may have about proposals. This 

process is referred to as scoping. The 

main goal of the scoping process is to 

focus the analysis in the EA on the 

important environmental issues. By this 

notice, the Commission requests public 

comments on the scope of the issues to 

address in the EA. All comments 

received in a timely fashion will be 

considered during the preparation of the 

EA. 

In the EA we will discuss impacts that 

could occur as a result of the 

construction and operation of the 

planned project under these general 

headings: 

• Geology and soils; 

• land use; 

• water resources, fisheries, and 

wetlands; 

• cultural resources; 

• vegetation and wildlife; 

• air quality and noise; and 

• endangered and threatened species. 

We will also evaluate reasonable 

alternatives to the planned project or 

portions of the project, and make 

recommendations on how to lessen or 

avoid impacts on the various resource 

areas. 

Although no formal application has 

been filed, we have already initiated our 

NEPA review under the Commission’s 

pre-filing process. The purpose of the 

pre-filing process is to encourage early 

involvement of interested stakeholders 

and to identify and resolve issues before 

an application is filed with the FERC. 

As part of our pre-filing review, we have 

begun to contact some federal and state 

agencies to discuss their involvement in 

the scoping process and the preparation 

of the EA. 

Our independent analysis of the 

issues will be presented in the EA. The 

EA will be placed in the public record 

and, depending on the comments 

received during the scoping process, 

may be published and distributed to the 

public. A comment period will be 

allotted if the EA is published for 

review. We will consider all comments 

on the EA before we make our 

recommendations to the Commission. 

To ensure your comments are 

considered, please carefully follow the 

instructions in the Public Participation 

section below. 

With this notice, we are asking 

agencies with jurisdiction and/or 

special expertise with respect to 

environmental issues to formally 

cooperate with us in the preparation of 

the EA. These agencies may choose to 

participate once they have evaluated the 

proposal relative to their 

responsibilities. Agencies that would 

like to request cooperating agency status 

should follow the instructions for filing 

comments provided under the Public 

Participation section of this notice. 

Consultations Under Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act 

In accordance with the Advisory 

Council on Historic Preservation’s 

implementing regulations for the section 

106 process, we are using this notice to 

solicit the views of the public on the 

project’s potential effects on historic 

properties.3 We will document our 

findings on the impacts on cultural 

resources and summarize the status of 

consultations under section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act in 

our EA. 

Public Participation 

You can make a difference by 

providing us with your specific 

comments or concerns about the project. 

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 timely and properly 

recorded, please send your comments so 

that they will be received in 

Washington, DC on or before June 11, 

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 (PF10–8–000) with your 

submission. The Commission 

encourages electronic filing of 

comments and has expert eFiling staff 

available to assist you at (202) 502–8258 

or efiling@ferc.gov. 

(1) You may file your comments

Environmental Mailing List 

The environmental mailing list 

includes federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. This list also includes 

all affected landowners (as defined in 

the Commission’s regulations) who are 

potential ROW grantors, whose property 

may be used temporarily for project 

purposes, or who own homes within 

certain distances of aboveground 

facilities, and anyone who submits 

comments on the project. We will 

update the environmental mailing list as 

the analysis proceeds to ensure that we 

send the information related to this 

environmental review to all individuals, 

organizations, and government entities 

interested in and/or potentially affected 

by the planned project. 

If the EA is published for distribution, 

paper copies will be sent to the 

environmental mailing list for public 

review and comment. If you would like 

to remove your name from the mailing 

list, please return the attached 

Information Request (Appendix 2). 

Becoming an Intervenor 

Once DEI files its application with the 

Commission, you may want to become 

an ‘‘intervenor’’, which is an official 

party to the Commission’s proceeding. 

Intervenors play a more formal role in 

the process and are able to file briefs, 

appear at hearings, and be heard by the 

courts if they choose to appeal the 

Commission’s final ruling. An 

intervenor formally participates in the 

proceeding by filing a request to 

intervene. Instructions for becoming an 

intervenor are included in the User’s 

Guide under the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the 

Commission’s website. Please note that 

you may not request intervenor status at 

this time. You must wait until a formal 

application for the project is filed with 

the Commission.
