Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP09–36–000; Docket No. 

CP09–40–000] 

Southern Natural Gas Company, 

Southeast Supply Header, LLC; Notice 

of Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed South 

System Expansion III Project and Joint 

Pipeline Expansion Phase II Project 

June 12, 2009. 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) on the 

natural gas pipeline facilities proposed 

by Southern Natural Gas Company 

(SNG) for the South System Expansion 

III Project (SSE III Project) and by 

Southeast Supply Header, LLC (SESH) 

for the Joint Pipeline Expansion Phase 

II Project (JPE Phase II Project) in the 

above-referenced dockets. 

The EA was prepared to satisfy the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act. The 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 EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed natural gas pipeline facilities 

including: 

SSE III Project 

• The Thomaston-Griffin Branch 

Third Loop (Thomaston-Griffin Loop), 

31.2 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline 

loop in Upson, Lamar, and Spalding 

Counties, Georgia; 

• The South Atlanta-Austell 

Replacement, replacement of 10.9 miles 

of the existing 18-inch-diameter 

pipeline with 30-inch-diameter pipeline 

in Fulton and Clayton Counties, 

Georgia, and construction of the Plant 

McDonough Meter Station in Fulton 

County; 

• The South Main Third Loop Line 

(Gwinville Loop), 12.0 miles of 36-inchdiameter pipeline loop in Jefferson 

Davis and Simpson Counties, 

Mississippi; 

• The South Main Third Loop Line 

(Enterprise Loop), 7.7 miles of 36-inchdiameter pipeline loop in Lauderdale 

County, Mississippi, and Choctaw and 

Sumter Counties, Alabama; 

• An additional 10,310 horsepower 

(hp) of compression and associated 

ancillary facilities installed at SNG’s 

existing Bay Springs Compressor Station 

in Jasper County, Mississippi; 

• The South Main Third Loop Line 

(Bay Springs Loop), 2.4 miles of 36- 

inch-diameter pipeline in Clarke 

County, Mississippi; 

• The South Main Fourth Loop Line 

(Gallion Loop), 5.2 miles of 36-inchdiameter pipeline loop in Hale and 

Perry Counties, Alabama; 

• The South Main Replacement 

(Elmore Replacement), replacement of 

11.7 miles of 16-inch-diameter pipeline 

with 42-inch-diameter pipeline in 

Elmore County, Alabama; and 

• An additional 7,000 hp of 

compression and associated ancillary 

facilities at the existing Ellerslie 

Compressor Station in Harris County, 

Georgia. 

SNG would construct its proposed 

facilities in three phases beginning in 

the first quarter of 2010, and all 

facilities would be in service by the 

second quarter of 2012. 

JPE Phase II Project 

• An additional 12,891 hp (15,000 hp 

nominal) of compression and associated 

ancillary facilities at the existing Delhi 

Compressor Station near Delhi, 

Richland Parish, Louisiana; and 

• An additional 12,712 hp (15,000 hp 

nominal) of compression and associated 

ancillary facilities at the existing 

Gwinville Compressor Station near 

Gwinville, Jefferson Davis County, 

Mississippi. 

SESH would begin construction in 

October 2009, and proposes an inservice date in July 2010. 

The EA has been placed in the public 

files of the FERC. 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. 

Copies of the EA have been mailed to 

Federal, State, and local agencies; 

public interest groups; interested 

individuals and affected landowners; 

Native American tribes; newspapers and 

libraries; and parties to this proceeding. 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the EA may do so. To ensure 

consideration prior to a Commission 

decision on the proposal, it is important 

that we receive your comments before 

the date specified below. 

You can make a difference by 

providing us with your specific 

comments or concerns about the SSE III 

Project or the JPE Phase II Project. Your 

comments should focus on the potential 

environmental effects, reasonable 

alternatives, and measures to avoid or 

lessen environmental impacts. The more

they will be. To ensure that your 

comments are timely and properly 

recorded, please send in your comments
