Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP15–18–000] 

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; 

Notice of Application for Certificate of 

Public Convenience and Necessity 

Take notice that on November 21, 

2014 Eastern Shore Natural Gas 

Company (Eastern Shore), 1110 Forrest 

Avenue, Dover, Delaware, 19904, filed 

in the above referenced docket an 

application pursuant to section 7(c) of 

the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 

of the Commission’s regulations, 

requesting a certificate of public 

convenience and necessity authorizing 

Eastern Shore to construct, own, operate 

and maintain the White Oak Mainline 

Expansion Project. The Project is 

designed to provide 45,000 Dekatherms 

per day (Dth/d) of firm transportation 

service for Calpine Energy Services, L.P. 

Eastern Shore proposes to construct 

approximately 7.2 miles of 16-inch 

diameter pipeline looping in Chester 

County, PA and 3,550 horsepower (hp) 

of additional compression at Eastern 

Shore’s existing Delaware City 

Compressor Station in New Castle 

County, DE. Eastern Shore requests a 

predetermination for rolled-in rate 

treatment, all as more fully set forth in 

the application which is on file with the 

Commission and open to public 

inspection. 

The filing may also be viewed on the 

web at http://www.ferc.gov using the

FERC Online Support at

(202) 502–8659. 

Any questions concerning this 

application may be directed to William 

Rice, King & Spalding LLP, 1700 

Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Suite 200, 

Washington, DC 20006, by phone 202– 

626–9602, by fax 202–626–3737, or by 

email wrice@kslaw.com. 

Specifically, the pipeline loop will be 

constructed in two segments: (1) 

Approximately 3.9 miles in 

Kemblesville, PA and (2) approximately 

3.3 miles near Cochranville, PA, just 

north of Eastern Shore’s existing 

Daleville Compressor Station. Eastern 

Shore states that the new compressor 

facilities required at the Delaware 

Compressor Station will consist of two 

new natural-gas fired reciprocating 

internal combustion engines with state 

of the art air pollution control 

equipment and silencers with an oxygen 

catalyst to reduce air emissions. Eastern 

Shore also states that they are 

negotiating with landowners regarding 

two different parcels for Delaware City 

Compressor Station expansion. Eastern 

Shore requests that the Commission 

issue the requested authorizations on or 

before May 1, 2015, in order to allow 

Eastern Shore sufficient time to meet the 

October 1, 2015 in-service date set forth 

in the precedent agreement. The 

estimated cost of the project is 

$29,750,000. 

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: Complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

7 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 5 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

This filing is accessible on-line at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC. 

There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the 

Web site that enables subscribers to 

receive email notification when a 

document is added to a subscribed 

docket(s). For assistance with any FERC 

Online service, please email
