DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP08–462–000] 

Algonquin Gas Transmission, L.L.C.; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Kleen Energy Lateral Project 

and Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues 

September 23, 2008. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) that will 

discuss the potential environmental 

impacts of the Kleen Energy Lateral 

Project involving the construction of 

approximately 1.13 miles of 20-inchdiameter natural gas transmission 

pipeline by Algonquin Gas 

Transmission, L.L.C. (AGT) in 

Middletown, Connecticut. The EA will 

be used by the Commission in its 

decision-making process to determine 

whether the project is in the public 

convenience and necessity. 

This notice announces the opening of 

the scoping process the Commission 

will use to gather input from the public 

and interested agencies on the project. 

Your input will help determine which 

issues need to be evaluated in the EA. 

Please note that the scoping period will 

close on October 23, 2008. Details on 

how to submit comments are provided 

in the ‘‘Public Participation’’ section of 

this notice. 

This notice is being sent to affected 

landowners; federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; Native 

American tribes; other interested 

parties; and local libraries and 

newspapers. State and local government 

representatives are asked to notify their 

constituents of this proposed project 

and to encourage them to comment on 

their areas of concern. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, you may be contacted by a 

pipeline company representative about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

proposed facilities. AGT would seek to 

negotiate a mutually acceptable

agreement. However, if the project is 

approved by the Commission, that 

approval conveys with it the right of 

eminent domain. Therefore, if easement 

negotiations fail to produce an 

agreement, AGT could initiate 

condemnation proceedings in 

accordance with state law. 

A fact sheet prepared by the FERC 

entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas 

Facility on My Land? What Do I Need 

To Know?’’ addresses a number of 

typically asked questions, including the 

use of eminent domain and how to 

participate in the Commission’s 

proceedings. It is available for viewing 

on the FERC Internet Web site (http:// 

www.ferc.gov). 

Summary of the Proposed Project 

AGT proposes to construct its 1.13- 

mile-long, 20-inch-diameter Kleen 

Energy Lateral in the area of Middlesex 

County, Connecticut. AGT would also 

construct one metering station and 

related ancillary facilities. The project 

would provide up to 131,000 

dekatherms per day of firm natural gas 

transportation service to the Kleen 

Energy Power Plant, a proposed 620- 

megawatt natural gas-fired power plant 

to be constructed by Kleen Energy in the 

City of Middletown, Connecticut. The 

lateral pipeline would begin at an 

interconnect with AGT’s existing WSystem pipeline at the NRG Power Plant 

Facility and terminate at the proposed 

meter station in the vicinity of the 

proposed power plant. 

Construction and operation of the 

proposed project would affect about 

18.6 acres, including the pipeline (4.3 

acres), meter station (0.9 acre), 

temporary workspaces (11.6 acres), and 

access roads (1.8 acres). The proposed 

project is primarily located within an 

existing paved roadway. The meter 

station would be located immediately 

adjacent to the proposed Kleen Energy 

Power Plant. AGT would require one 

new access road to access the proposed 

meter station. Another existing road 

(located at the Middletown Power Plant) 

would be used for site access during 

construction and operation. 

The general location of the proposed 

facilities is shown in appendix 1.1

The EA Process 

We 2 are preparing this EA to comply 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) which requires the 

Commission to take into account the 

environmental impact that could result 

if it authorizes AGT’s proposal. By this 

notice, we are also asking federal, state, 

and local agencies with jurisdiction 

and/or special expertise with respect to 

environmental issues to formally 

cooperate with us in the preparation of 

the EA. Agencies that would like to 

request cooperating status should follow 

the instructions for filing comments 

provided below. 

NEPA also requires the FERC to 

discover and address concerns the 

public may have about proposals. This 

process is referred to as ‘‘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, we are requesting 

public comments on the scope of the 

issues to address in the EA. All 

comments received will be considered 

during the preparation of the EA. 

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 

• Land use and visual quality 

• Cultural resources 

• Vegetation and wildlife (including 

threatened and endangered species) 

• Air quality and noise 

• Reliability and safety 

We will also evaluate possible 

alternatives to the proposed project or 

portions of the project, where necessary, 

and make recommendations on how to 

lessen or avoid impacts on the various 

resource areas. 

Our independent analysis of the 

issues will be presented 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, local libraries and 

newspapers, 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 make our recommendations to the 

Commission. 

To ensure your comments are 

received and considered, please 

carefully follow the instructions in the 

‘‘Public Participation’’ section below. 

Public Participation 

You can make a difference by 

providing us with your specific 

comments or concerns about the Kleen 

Energy Lateral Project. Your comments 

should focus on the potential 

environmental effects of the proposal, 

reasonable alternatives, and measures to 

avoid or lessen the environmental 

impacts. The more specific your 

comments, the more useful they will be. 

To ensure that your comments are 

timely and properly recorded, please 

send in your comments so that they will 

be received in Washington, DC on or 

before October 23, 2008. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods which you can use to submit 

your comments to the Commission. In 

all instances please reference the project 

docket number with your submission. 

The docket number can be found on the 

front of this notice. The Commission

(2) You may file your comments 

electronically by using the eFiling 

feature, which is located on the 

Commission’s internet Web site at 

http://www.ferc.gov under the link to 

Documents and Filings. eFiling involves 

preparing your submission in the same 

manner as you would if filing on paper, 

and then saving the file on your 

computer’s hard drive. You will attach 

that file as your submission. New 

eFiling users must first create an 

account by clicking on ‘‘Sign up’’ or 

‘‘eRegister’’. You will be asked to select 

the type of filing you are making. A 

comment on a particular project is 

considered a ‘‘Comment on a Filing.’’ 

(3) You may file your comments via 

mail to the Commission by sending an 

original and two copies of your letter to: 

Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

the attention of Gas Branch 1, PJ11.1. 

Becoming an Intervenor 

In addition to involvement in the EA 

scoping process, you may want to 

become an official party to the 

proceeding known as an ‘‘intervenor.’’ 


ebenthall on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 190 / Tuesday, September 30, 2008 / Notices 56815 

3 Interventions may also be filed electronically via 

the Internet in lieu of paper. See the previous 

discussion on filing comments electronically. 

Intervenors play a more formal role in 

the process. Among other things, 

intervenors have the right to receive 

copies of case-related Commission 

documents and filings by other 

intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor 

must send one electronic copy (using 

the Commission’s eFiling system) or 14 

paper copies of its filings to the 

Secretary of the Commission and must 

send a copy of its filings to all other 

parties on the Commission’s service list 

for this proceeding. 

If you want to become an 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) (see 

appendix 2).3 Only intervenors have the 

right to seek rehearing of the 

Commission’s decision. 

Affected landowners and parties with 

environmental concerns may be granted 

intervenor status upon showing good 

cause by stating that they have a clear 

and direct interest in this proceeding 

which would not be adequately 

represented by any other parties. You do 

not need intervenor status to have your 

environmental comments considered. 

Environmental Mailing List 

As described above, we may publish 

and distribute the EA for comment. If 

you are interested in receiving an EA for 

review and/or comment, please return 

the Environmental Mailing List Form 

(appendix 3). If you do not return the 

Environmental Mailing List Form, you 

will be taken off the mailing list. All 

individuals who provide written 

comments will remain on our 

environmental mailing list for this 

project.
