DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review of the White Oak Mainline 

Expansion Project and System 

Reliability Project 

Docket Nos. 

Eastern Shore Natural Gas 

Company.

CP15–18–000 

CP15–18–001 

CP15–498–000 

On November 21, 2014, Eastern Shore 

Natural Gas Company (Eastern Shore) 

filed an application in Docket No. 

CP15–18–000 requesting a Certificate of 

Public Convenience and Necessity 

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural 

Gas Act to construct and operate certain 

natural gas pipeline facilities as part of 

the White Oak Mainline Expansion 

Project (White Oak Project) in Chester 

County, Pennsylvania, and New Castle 

County, Delaware. On November 18, 

2015, Eastern Shore filed an amendment 

to its application in Docket No. CP15– 

18–001 to construct the Kemblesville 

Loop Alternative 2 along Eastern 

Shore’s existing right-of-way. Also, on 

May 22, 2015, Eastern Shore filed an 

application in Docket No. CP15–498– 

000 requesting a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity pursuant to 

Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to 

construct and operate certain natural gas 

pipeline facilities as part of the System 

Reliability Project in Kent, New Castle, 

and Sussex Counties, Delaware. 

On December 8, 2014 and June 8, 

2015, the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission or FERC) 

issued its respective Notice of 

Application for the White Oak Project 

and the System Reliability Project. On 

November 25, 2015, the Commission 

issued its Notice of Amendment to 

Application for the White Oak Project. 

Among other things, these notices 

alerted agencies issuing federal 

authorizations of the requirement to 

complete all necessary reviews and to 

reach a final decision on a request for 

a federal authorization within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s Environmental Assessment (EA) 

for the projects. This instant notice 

identifies the FERC staff’s planned 

schedule for the completion of the EA 

for the White Oak and System 

Reliability Projects. Staff is preparing a 

single EA for the two projects because 

of the proximity of the projects to each 

other and because the System Reliability 

Project assumes the prior completion of 

the White Oak Project, as stated in 

Eastern Shore’s amended application. 

SCHEDULE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL

REVIEW

Issuance of EA .................. April 12, 2016. 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline.July 11, 2016. 

If a schedule change becomes 

necessary, additional notice will be 

provided so that the relevant agencies 

are kept informed of the projects’ 

progress. 

Project Descriptions 

The White Oak Project consists of 3.3 

miles of 16-inch-diameter looping 

pipeline (the Daleville Loop) and 2.1 

miles of 16-inch-diameter looping 

pipeline (Kemblesville Loop) in Chester 

County, Pennsylvania, and 3,550 

horsepower of additional compression 

at Eastern Shore’s existing Delaware 

City Compressor Station in New Castle 

County, Delaware. The White Oak 

Project would result in incremental 

expansion capacity sufficient to support 

Eastern Shore’s agreement to provide 

45,000 dekatherms per day of firm 

transportation service to Calpine Energy 

Services, L.P.’s Garrison Energy Center. 

The System Reliability Project 

consists of 2.5 miles of 16-inch-diameter 

looping pipeline in New Castle County; 

about 7.6 miles of 16-inch-diameter 

looping pipeline in Kent County; 

installation of various appurtenant 

underground and aboveground 

facilities; and an additional 1,775 

horsepower of compression at Eastern 

Shore’s existing Bridgeville Compressor 

Station in Sussex County, all in 

Delaware. According to Eastern Shore, 

the System Reliability Project would 

increase the reliability of natural gas to 

Eastern Shore’s existing customers 

during high demand winter months. 

Background 

On January 22, 2015, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed White Oak Mainline 

Expansion Project and Request for 

Comments on Environmental Issues 

(White Oak NOI). On July 9, 2015, the 

Commission issued a Supplemental 

White Oak NOI and opened a 

supplemental scoping period for the 

Kemblesville Loop Alternative 2 route. 

On September 4, 2015, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed System Reliability Project and 

Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues (System 

Reliability NOI). The notices were sent 

to affected landowners; federal, state, 

and local government agencies; elected 

officials; environmental and public 

interest groups; other interested parties; 

and local libraries and newspapers. In 

response to the White Oak NOI, the 

Commission received environmental 

comments from the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, the Delaware Nation, 

the Franklin Township Historical 

Commission, the National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration, the 

National Park Service, the Franklin 

Township, the Pennsylvania 

Department of Conservation and Natural 

Resources, the Chester County Water 

Resources Authority, and private 

landowners. The primary concerns 

raised were regarding wetland and 

waterbody impacts; impacts due to 

forest clearing; impacts on the White 

Clay Creek National Wild and Scenic 

River; impacts on watersheds within the 

project area; impacts on the 

Kemblesville Village Historic District; 

impacts on bog turtle habitat; cultural 

resources; alternative routes, including 

the Kemblesville Loop Alternative 

Route 2; old growth forested areas along 

the pipeline routes; pipeline safety; and 

pipeline installation within proximity to 

residences. In response to the System 

Reliability NOI, the Commission 

received comments from the National 

Park Service and landowners. The 

National Park Service noted potential 

impacts on the Bridgeville Playground, 

which was funded through a Land and 

Water Conservation Fund Grant. 

Landowners submitted comments about 

public safety; effects on private 

property; wetlands; the 100-year 

floodplain; noise; vibration from trains; 

property values; less expensive 

alternatives to the project; and whether 

the Porter Road Loop would be 

necessary for system reliability. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

all formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets, the Commission offers 

a free service called eSubscription. 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 www.ferc.gov/docsfiling/esubscription.asp.
