in a solution-mined salt dome in 

Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the Bully 

Camp Gas Storage Project in accordance 

with the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(COE) participated as a cooperating 

agency in the preparation of the EA. 

Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction 

by law or special expertise with respect 

to resources potentially affected by the 

proposal and participate in the NEPA 

analysis. The project would require a 

permit from the COE pursuant to 

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 

U.S.C. 1344). 

The proposed Bully Camp Gas 

Storage Project includes the following 

facilities: 

• Two salt storage caverns (each with 

a working capacity of 7.5 billion cubic 

feet), wells, and well pads; 

• An 18,940-horsepower compressor 

station; 

• Four meter stations and 

interconnection facilities (for Gulf South 

Pipeline Company, LP; Discovery Gas 

Transmission, LLC; Bridgeline 

Holdings, LP; and Texas Eastern 

Transmission Corporation); 

• Four sections of natural gas 

pipeline totaling about 6.1 miles 

(ranging from 10 inches to 20 inches in 

diameter); and 

• Six sections of various diameter 

water and brine pipeline totaling about 

19.5 miles (ranging from 3 inches to 24 

inches in diameter). 

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 June 14, 

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 (CP10–40–000) 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 efiling@ferc.gov. 

(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. 

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.

project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs,

site (http://www.ferc.gov) using the

provides access to the texts of formal 

documents issued by the Commission, 

such as orders, 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

summaries, and direct links to the 

documents. Go to http://www.ferc.gov/

Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 

12775–001), located on Spearfish Creek 

near the city of Spearfish, in Lawrence 

County, South Dakota. The existing, but 

unlicensed project occupies a total of

licensing the project, with appropriate 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major federal 

action that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment.
