Fayetteville/Greenville Expansion 

Project. 

SUMMARY: This notice presents the 

Record of Decision (ROD) regarding the 

Natural Resources Conservation Service 

(NRCS) decided to subordinate its 

rights, acquired under the Wetland 

Reserve Program (WRP), to allow the 

Texas Gas Transmission, LLC (Texas 

Gas) to cross NRCS held conservation 

easements associated with the Arkansas 

Fayetteville Lateral to Mississippi 

Greenville Lateral Expansion Project in 

Humphreys County, Mississippi. The 

project will affect approximately one 

NRCS held WRP easement in 

Mississippi creating a 50-foot 

permanent right-of-way, being 5 feet on 

each side of the center of the pipeline, 

and the temporary right-of-way shall be 

no greater than 25 feet wide. The 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(FERC) prepared a final environmental 

impact statement (EIS) to fulfill 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). 

FERC issued the order of issuing 

certificate on May 2, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD and EIS 

are available upon request from the 

Natural Resource Conservation Service, 

Suite 1321, Federal Building, 100 West

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

alternatives analysis is the final EIS 

found no reasonable routes alternatives 

that would be environmentally 

preferable to the proposed routes. The 

final EIS determined that the proposed 

Fayetteville/Greenville Expansion 

Project as modified by the 

recommended mitigation measures is 

the preferred alternative. Potential 

impacts to wetlands will be avoided, 

minimized and mitigated through Texas 

Gas Transmission of numerous route 

variations, implementation of agency 

recommendations and requirements, 

and development of site-specific 

crossing plans.
