Atlantic Gas Systems, Inc.; Notice of

Intent To Prepare an Environmental

Assessment for the Proposed Myer

Compressor Station and Request for

Comments on Environmental Issues

February 15, 1995.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or the

Commission) will prepare an

Environmental Assessment (EA) that

will discuss environmental impacts of

the construction and operation of the

proposed Myer Compressor Station.1

This EA will be used by the

Commission in its decision-making

process to determine whether an

environmental impact statement is

necessary and whether to approve the

project.

Summary of the Proposed Project

Atlantic Gas Systems, Incorporated

(Atlantic) wants Commission

authorization to construct and operate a

new 825-horsepower (hp) compressor

station on the site of an existing

compressor foundation in Cabell

County, West Virginia.

Atlantic would construct the

following facilities:

• One skid-mounted 825-hp

reciprocating engine-driven

compressor unit leased from Cardinal

Compression, Inc.;

• An insulated compressor building;

and

• An office/control building.

The location of these facilities is

shown in appendix 1.2

Land Requirements for Construction

Atlantic purchased a 3.42-acre site in

Cabell County that was previously used

for a compressor station. Atlantic would

keep all construction disturbance within

this site.

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 to

discover and address concerns the

public may have about proposals. We

call this ‘‘scoping’’. The main goal of the

scoping process is to focus the analysis

in the EA on the important

environmental issues. By this Notice of

Intent, the Commission requests public

comments on the scope of the issues it

will address in the EA. All comments

received are taken into account during

the preparation of the EA. State and

local government representatives are

encouraged to notify their constituents

of this proposed action and encourage

them to comment on their areas of

concern.

The EA will discuss impacts that

could occur as a result of the

construction and operation of the

proposed project under these general

headings:

• Geology and soils
9674 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 21, 1995 / Notices

• 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,

alternatives to the proposal, and

measures to avoid or lessen

environmental impact. The more

specific your comments, the more useful

they will be. Please follow the

instructions below to ensure that your

comments are received and properly

recorded:

• Address your letter to: Lois Cashell,

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 825 North Capitol St.,

NE., Washington, DC 20426;

• Reference Docket No. CP95–92–000;

• Send a copy of your letter to: Mr.

Steven G. Grape, EA Project Manager,

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 825 North Capitol St.,

NW., room 7312, Washington, DC

20426; and

• Mail your comments so that they will

be received in Washington, DC on or

before March 15, 1995.

If you wish to receive a copy of the

EA, you should request one from Mr.

Grape at the above address.

Becoming an Intervenor

In addition to involvement in the EA

scoping process, you may want to

become an official party to the

proceeding or become an ‘‘intervenor’’.

Among other things, intervenors have

the right to receive copies of caserelated Commission documents and

filings by other intervenors. Likewise,

each intervenor must provide copies of

its filings to all other parties. If you

want to become in intervenor you must

file a motion to intervene according to

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214) attached as appendix 2.

The date for filing timely motions to

intervene in this proceeding has passed.

Therefore, parties now seeking to file

late interventions must show good

cause, as required by section

385.214(b)(3), why this time limitation

should be waived. Environmental issues

have been viewed as good cause for late

intervention. You do not need

intervenor status to have your scoping

comments considered.

Additional information about the

proposed project is available from Mr.

Steven G. Grape, EA Project Manager, at

(202) 208–1046.

Secretary.

[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
