Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP14-97-000]


Carolina Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Availability of 
the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Edgemoor Compressor 
Station Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the 
Edgemoor Compressor Station Project (Project) proposed by Carolina Gas 
Transmission Corporation (Carolina Gas) in the above-referenced docket. 
Carolina Gas states that the Project would provide about 45,000 
dekatherms of natural gas per day to two local distribution customers 
from Transcontinental Pipe Line Corporation's system.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of construction 
and operation of the Edgemoor Compressor Station Project in accordance 
with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The 
FERC 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 proposed Edgemoor Compressor Station Project consists of the 
following facilities all in Chester County, South Carolina:
    <bullet> Construction of one new compressor station consisting of 
four natural gas fired compressor units totaling 9,500 horsepower;
    <bullet> construction of the Cone Mills Lateral Extension which 
consists of about 1,300 feet of 8-inch-diameter pipeline; and
    <bullet> construction and modification of various ancillary 
facilities.
    The FERC staff mailed copies of the EA to federal, state, and local 
government representatives and agencies; elected officials; 
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; 
potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and 
groups; newspapers and libraries in the Project area; and parties to 
this proceeding. In addition, the EA is available for public viewing on 
the FERC's Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. A limited 
number of copies of the EA are available for distribution and public 
inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference 
Room, 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502-
8371.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments 
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable 
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. 
The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To 
ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to consider your 
comments prior to making its decision on this project, it is important 
that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or before November 
15, 2014.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file 
your comments with the Commission. In all instances please reference 
the project docket number (CP14-97-000) with your submission. The 
Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert

    Any person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a 
motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214).\1\ Only intervenors have the 
right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. The Commission 
grants affected landowners and others with environmental concerns 
intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a 
clear and direct interest in this proceeding which no other party can 
adequately represent. Simply filing environmental comments will not 
give you intervenor status, but you do not need intervenor status to 
have your comments considered.
