• Water resources, fisheries, and

wetlands

• Vegetation and wildlife

• Endangered and threatened species

• Public safety

• Land use

• Cultural resources

• Air quality and noise

• Hazardous waste

We will also evaluate possible

alternatives to the proposed project or

portions of the project, and make

recommendations on how to lessen or

avoid impacts on the various resource

areas.

Our independent analysis of the

issues will be in the EA. Depending on

the comments received during the

scoping process, the EA may be

published and mailed to Federal, state,

and local agencies, public interest

groups, interested individuals, affected

landowners, newspapers, libraries, and

the Commission’s official service list for

this proceeding. A comment period will

be allotted for review if the EA is

published. We will consider all

comments on the EA before we

recommend that the Commission

approve or not approve the project.

Currently Identified Environmental

Issues

We have already identified several

issues that we think deserve attention

based on a preliminary review of the

proposed facilities and the information

provided by Atlantic. Keep in mind that

this is a preliminary list. The list of

issues will be added to, subtracted from,

or changed based on your comments

and our analysis. Issues are:

• The Myer Compressor Station would

be a new source of air pollutant

emissions.

• The operating noise of the proposed

facility may impact the surrounding

residences. The nearest noisesensitive area is a residence 810 feet

south of the Myer Compressor Station.

Public Participation

You can make a difference by sending

a letter addressing your specific

comments or concerns about the project.

You should focus on the potential

environmental effects of the proposal,

[Docket No. CP94–715–000]

Koch Gateway Pipeline Co.; Notice of

Availability of the Environmental

Assessment for the Proposed Kiln

Compressor Station

February 15, 1995.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) has prepared an

environmental assessment (EA) on the

Kiln Compressor Station proposed by

Koch Gateway Pipeline Company (Koch

Gateway) in the above-referenced

docket.

The EA was prepared to satisfy the

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act. The 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 EA assesses the potential

environmental effects of the

construction and operation of the Kiln

Compressor Station. The project

involves construction of a new 8,000-

horsepower (hp) compressor station in

Hancock County, Mississippi. The

proposed facilities include:

• Two 4,000-hp Solar Centaur T–4700

turbine-driven compressor units;

• Two gas discharge coolers;

• Two oil storage tanks;

• One condensate tank;

• One inlet separator;

• One blowdown silencer;

• 70 feet of 30-inch-diameter tie-in

pipeline;

• 1,850 feet of 16-inch-diameter

pipeline;

• 2,000 feet of 24-inch-diameter suction

and discharge headers and associated

valves;

• 335 feet of 10-inch-diameter suction

and discharge headers;

• A compressor building;

• An office/control building;

• A 200-foot-tall microwave tower;

• An auxiliary building; and

• 700 feet of new gravel road.

Koch Gateway would construct this

station to provide greater flexibility and

reliability on its system serving the

Mobile-Pensacola market. Koch

Gateway would be able to move an

additional 169,000,000 cubic feet of gas

per day (169,000 Mcfd) on its 30-inchdiameter Index 300 mainline that runs

from Lirette, Louisiana to Mobile,

Alabama.

Additonally, the Kiln Compressor

Station would allow Koch Gateway to

inject gas into Tennessee Gas Pipeline

Company’s (Tennessee) existing 30-

inch-diameter ‘‘500’’ pipeline at an

existing interconnect between Koch

Gateway and Tennessee (Kiln

Interconnect). Currently, high pressure

in Tennessee’s 500 pipeline prevents

Koch Gateway from injecting gas into

Tennessee’s pipeline at the Kiln

Interconnect. Koch Gateway would use

the Kiln Compressor Station to provide

up to 377,000 Mcfd to Tennessee.

The EA has been placed in the public

files of the FERC and is available for

public inspection at: Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Public

Reference and Files Maintenance

Comments should be filed as soon as

possible, but must be received no later

than March 15, 1995, to ensure

consideration prior to a Commission

decision on this proposal. A copy of any

comments should also be sent to Mr.

Steve Grape, Environmental Project

Manager, at the above address.

Comments will be considered by the

Commission but 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 Procedure (18 CFR

Columbia Transmission Corporation

(Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue,

SE., Charleston, West Virginia 25314–

1599, filed in Docket No. CP95–185–000

a request pursuant to Sections 157.205

and 157.211 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

for authorization to construct and

operate a new point of delivery for firm

transportation service to NEA Cross of

N.Y., Inc. (NEA), in Chautauqua County,

New York, under its blanket certificate

issued in Docket No. CP83–76–000, all

as more fully set forth in the request

which is on file with the Commission

Columbia indicates that the estimated

maximum daily quantity and the

estimated annual quantity of natural gas

that it will provide through the new

delivery point is 35 Dth and 12,775 Dth,

respectively. Additionally, Columbia

states that the quantities to be provided

through the new delivery point will be

provided pursuant to an existing service

agreement and therefore, there is no

impact on Columbia’s existing peak day

obligations to its other customers as a

result of the construction and operation

of the proposed new point of delivery.

Columbia indicates that it proposes to

convert an existing receipt meter from

NEA to a point of delivery to serve a

purchase the existing 4-inch receipt

meter and appurtenant facilities at a

depreciated cost of $1,225. Columbia

estimates that the cost to construct

facilities is approximately $15,250.

According to Columbia, NEA has agreed

to reimburse Columbia for the actual

total cost of converting the

interconnection to a point of delivery.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Rules or Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to

intervene or notice of intervention and

pursuant to Section 157.205 of the

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the

request. If no protest is filed within the

time allowed therefor, the proposed

activity shall be deemed to be

authorized effective the date after the

time allowed for filing a protest. If a

protest is filed and not withdrawn

within 30 days after the time allowed

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7(c) of

the Natural Gas Act.
