Commission 

[Project No. 2343–086] 

PE Hydro Generation, LLC; Notice of 

Availability of Draft Environmental 

Assessment 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 

486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy 

Projects has reviewed the application 

for a new license for the Millville 

Hydroelectric Project, located on the 

Shenandoah River, near the town of 

Harpers Ferry in Jefferson County, West 

Virginia, and has prepared a draft 

Environmental Assessment (draft EA) 

for the project. The project does not 

occupy federal land. 

In the draft EA, Commission staff 

analyze the potential environmental 

effects of relicensing the project and 

conclude that continued project 

operation under a new license, with 

appropriate measures, would not 

constitute a major federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. 

A copy of the draft EA is available for 

review at the Commission in the Public 

Reference Room or may be viewed on 

the Commission’s Web site at 

www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP17–46–000] 

Southern Natural Gas Company, LLC; 

Notice of Availability of the 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Fairburn Expansion Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Fairburn Expansion Project, proposed 

by Southern Natural Gas Company, LLC 

(Southern) in the above-referenced 

docket. Southern requests authorization 

to acquire, upgrade, construct, and 

operate certain natural gas pipeline and 

compression facilities in Clayton, Cobb, 

Fayetteville, Fulton, and Monroe 

Counties, Georgia. The project would 

provide approximately 343 million 

cubic feet per day of new firm 

transportation capacity to delivery 

points in Southern’s Zone 2 and Zone 

3 systems. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

Fairburn Expansion Project in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

and the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency participated as a cooperating 

agency in the preparation of the EA. 

Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction 

by law or special expertise with respect 

to resources potentially affected by the 

proposal and participate in the NEPA 

analysis. 

The proposed Fairburn Expansion 

Project includes the following facilities 

in Georgia: 

• One new 4.9-mile-long 30-inchdiameter Fairburn Lateral pipeline, 

extending from the Transcontinental 

Gas Pipe Line Company interconnect in 

Fayette County to a new proposed 

18,000-horsepower electric Fairburn 

Compressor Station with pig 1 receiver 

in Fulton County;

2A pipeline loop is a segment of pipe constructed 

parallel to an existing pipeline to increase capacity. 

3See the previous discussion on the methods for 

filing comments. 

• one 1.6-mile-long 30-inch-diameter 

South Main 2nd Loop 2 Line Extension 

pipeline along with pig receiver from 

mileposts 373.6 to 375.2 on Southern’s 

existing South Main Line System in 

Monroe County; 

• acquisition of the 19.7-mile-long 30- 

inch-diameter McDonough Lateral 

pipeline that extends from Southern’s 

existing SNG-to-McDonough Meter 

Station in Fulton County to the 

proposed Plant McDonough Meter 

Station in Cobb County; 

• a new Plant McDonough Meter 

Station in Cobb County; a SNG-toMcDonough Meter Station modification 

in Fulton County; and a new UPS Meter 

Station in Fulton County, all located on 

the McDonough Lateral; 

• one new Transco-to-SNG Meter 

Station with pig launcher in Fayette 

County; and 

• modification of the Jonesboro Meter 

Station in Clayton County. 

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; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

project area. 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.

the EA may do so. Your comments 

should focus on the potential 

environmental effects, reasonable

they will be. To ensure that the 

Commission has the opportunity to 

consider your comments prior to
