KN Interstate Gas Transmission

Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare

an Environmental Assessment for the

Proposed Casper-Douglas Pipeline

Loop and Spur Project and Request for

Comments on Environmental Issues

March 6, 1995.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) will prepare an

environmental assessment (EA) that will

discuss environmental impacts of the

construction and operation of facilities

proposed in the Casper-Douglas

Pipeline Loop and Spur Project.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

KN Interstate Gas Transmission

Company (KN) presently owns and

operates a natural gas processing plant

in Casper, Wyoming (Casper Plant)

constructed in 1965. Because of the

dated technology used to remove heavy

hydrocarbons from the gas, the Casper

Plant is outmoded and environmentally

inefficient to operate. The plant requires

large volumes of fuel gas, and freon, as

a refrigerant. Because the production of

freon has ceased and the existing supply

of freon at the plant is finite, KN

proposes to close the Casper Plant.

KN wants to reconfigure its main

natural gas transmission system in order

to transfer natural gas processing

operations from the Casper Plant to

another existing processing plant near

Douglas, Wyoming (Douglas Plant). KN

requests Commission authorization, in

Docket No. CP95–113–000, to construct

and operate the following facilities

needed to transfer the processing

operations:

• 43.9 miles of 16-inch-diameter

pipeline loop (Casper-Douglas Pipeline

Loop) in Natrona and Converse

Counties, Wyoming; 2

• 8.0 miles of new 16-inch-diameter

pipeline (Douglas Spur) in Converse

County, Wyoming; and

• 2,000 horsepower (hp) of new

compression at KN’s existing Guernsey

Compressor Station in Platte County,

Wyoming.

The general location of the project

facilities and route maps are shown in

appendix 1.3

Land Requirements for Construction

The Casper-Douglas Pipeline Loop

would be installed within newly

acquired, 100-foot-wide construction

rights-of-way generally parallel to the

right-of-way for an existing 12-inch

pipeline. A 66-foot-wide permanent

right-of-way centered on the new

pipeline would be used for long-term

maintenance activities. About 532 acres

of land would be disturbed if all 100

feet of construction right-of-way along

the pipeline route is used. The

permanent right-of-way would consist

of about 351 acres of land.

The Douglas Spur would be installed

within newly acquired, 100-foot-wide

construction rights-of-way. A 66-footwide permanent right-of-way centered

on the new pipeline would be used for

long-term maintenance activities. Two

temporary staging areas, about 250 by

300 feet, one on each side of the river,

would be required for the crossing of the

North Platte River and associated

wetlands. A total of about 100 acres of

land would be disturbed if all 100 feet

of construction right-of-way along the

pipeline route is used. The permanent

right-of-way would consist of about 64

acres of land.

Private roads/lanes and the existing

rights-of-way would be used for access

to the pipeline during construction and

removal. These roads may require repair

and upgrading to support increased

traffic.

The additional 2,000-hp compressor

unit would be installed at KN’s existing

Guernsey Compressor Station. The

compressor unit would be placed on an

existing foundation adjacent to the

current compressor. No new land for

construction will be required.

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 considered 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.

• 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
