DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP17–257–000] 

WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.; Notice 

of Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment for the Proposed Valley 

Expansion Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Valley Expansion Project, proposed by 

WBI Energy Transmission, Inc. (WBI 

Energy) in the above-referenced docket. 

WBI Energy requests authorization to 

construct, operate, and maintain new 

natural gas facilities in Clay County, 

Minnesota and Cass, Barnes, Stutsman, 

and Burleigh Counties, North Dakota. 

The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the Valley 

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 proposed Valley Expansion 

Project includes the following facilities: 

• About 37.3 miles of 16-inchdiameter pipeline in Clay County, 

Minnesota and Cass County, North 

Dakota; 

• a new interconnect at the tie-in 

with the existing Viking Gas 

Transmission Company Pipeline in Clay 

County, Minnesota; 

• a new 3,000-horsepower 

compressor station to tie into WBI 

Energy’s existing Mapleton Town 

Border Station and Line Section No. 24 

in Cass County, North Dakota; 

• a new regulator station in Barnes 

County, North Dakota; 

• replacement of the existing 

Jamestown Town Border Station in 

Stutsman County, North Dakota; and 

• replacement of the Apple Valley 

Town Border Station in Burleigh 

County, North Dakota. 

The FERC staff mailed copies of the 

EA to federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 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. 

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 October 20, 2017. 

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 (CP17–257–000) with 

your submission. The Commission

comments and has expert staff available
