Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP17–476–000] 

Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Westlake Expansion Project, 

and Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the Westlake Expansion Project 

involving construction and operation of 

facilities by Gulf South Pipeline 

Company, LP (Gulf South) in Calcasieu 

Parish, Louisiana. The Commission will 

use this EA 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. 

You can make a difference by providing 

us with your specific comments or 

concerns about the project. Your 

comments should focus on the potential 

environmental effects, reasonable 

alternatives, and measures to avoid or 

lessen environmental impacts. Your 

input will help the Commission staff 

determine what issues they need to 

evaluate in the EA. To ensure that your 

comments are timely and properly 

recorded, please send your comments so 

that the Commission receives them in 

Washington, DC on or before September 

29, 2017. 

If you sent comments on this project 

to the Commission before the opening of 

this docket on July 20, 2017, you will 

need to file those comments in Docket 

No. CP17–476–000 to ensure they are 

considered as part of this proceeding. 

This notice is being sent to the 

Commission’s current environmental 

mailing list for this project. State and 

local government representatives should 

notify their constituents of this 

proposed project and encourage them to 

comment on their areas of concern. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, a pipeline company 

representative may contact you about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

proposed facilities. The company would 

seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable 

agreement. However, if the Commission 

approves the project, that approval 

conveys with it the right of eminent 

domain. Therefore, if easement 

negotiations fail to produce an 

agreement, the pipeline company could 

initiate condemnation proceedings 

where compensation would be 

determined in accordance with state 

law. 

Gulf South provided landowners with 

a fact sheet prepared by the FERC 

entitled An Interstate Natural Gas 

Facility On My Land? What Do I Need 

To Know? This fact sheet addresses a 

number of typically asked questions, 

including the use of eminent domain 

and how to participate in the 

Commission’s proceedings. It is also 

available for viewing on the FERC Web 

site (www.ferc.gov). 

Public Participation 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to submit your 

comments to the Commission. The 

Commission encourages electronic filing 

of comments and has expert staff 

available to assist you at (202) 502–8258 

or FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. Please 

carefully follow these instructions so 

that your comments are properly 

recorded. 

(1) You can file your comments 

electronically using the eComment

(2) You can file your comments 

electronically by using the eFiling 

feature on the Commission’s Web site

you can provide comments in a variety 

of formats by attaching them as a file 

with your submission. New eFiling 

users must first create an account by 

clicking on eRegister. If you are filing a 

comment on a particular project, please 

select ‘‘Comment on a Filing’’ as the 

filing type; or 

(3) You can file a paper copy of your 

comments by mailing them to the 

following address. Be sure to reference 

the project docket number (CP17–476– 

000) with your submission: Kimberly D. 

Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. 

Summary of the Proposed Project 

Gulf South proposes to construct and 

operate the following facilities as part of 

the Westlake Expansion Project in 

Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana: 

• One new 10,000 horsepower 

compressor station (Westlake 

Compressor Station) and appurtenant 

facilities; 

• approximately 1,600 feet of 16-inchdiamater natural gas pipeline lateral; 

and 

• two new metering and regulating 

stations (Entergy Lake Charles and 

Varibus M&R Stations). 

The project would provide about 200 

million cubic feet of natural gas per day 

to the proposed 980 megawatt natural 

gas-fired combined cycle electric 

generating plant near Westlake, 

Louisiana. 

The general location of the project 

facilities is shown in appendix 1.1

Land Requirements for Construction 

Construction of the pipeline facilities, 

including additional temporary 

workspace and a temporary access road, 

would disturb about 11.8 acres of land, 

of which Gulf South would permanently 

maintain 0.9 acre. Construction of the 

aboveground facilities (Westlake 

Compressor Station, Entergy Lake 

Charles M&R Station, and Varibus M&R 

Station) and access roads would disturb 

about 30 acres, of which Gulf South 

would permanently maintain 10.7 acres. 

The EA Process 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to 

take into account the environmental
