DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP17–468–000] 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review of the Proposed Marshall 

County Mine Panel 18w Project; Texas 

Eastern Transmission, LP 

On June 30, 2017, Texas Eastern 

Transmission, LP filed an application in 

Docket No. CP17–468–000 requesting a 

Certificate of Public Convenience and 

Necessity pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 

Natural Gas Act to construct and operate 

certain natural gas pipeline facilities. 

The proposed project is known as the as 

Marshall County Mine Panel 18W 

Project (Project), and would excavate 

and elevate sections of four existing 

mainline pipelines to minimize and 

monitor potential strains on the 

pipelines due to anticipated longwall 

mining activities. 

On July 13, 2017, the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission or 

FERC) issued its Notice of Application 

for the Project. Among other things, that 

notice alerted agencies issuing federal 

authorizations of the requirement to 

complete all necessary reviews and to 

reach a final decision on a request for 

a federal authorization within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s Environmental Assessment (EA) 

for the Project. This instant notice 

identifies the FERC staff’s planned 

schedule for the completion of the EA 

for the Project. 

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA—December 21, 2017 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline—March 21, 2018 

If a schedule change becomes 

necessary, additional notice will be 

provided so that the relevant agencies 

are kept informed of the Project’s 

progress. 

Project Description 

Texas Eastern proposes to excavate 

and elevate 1.6-mile-long sections each 

of its Line 10, Line 15, Line 30, and a 

1.5-mile-long section of its Line 25 to 

minimize and monitor potential strains 

on the pipelines due to anticipated 

longwall mining activities of Marshall 

Coal. Concurrent with pipeline 

elevation, portions of two of the lines, 

Lines 10 and 15, would be replaced 

with new pipe. Texas Eastern will also 

perform maintenance activities on 

sections of Lines 25 and 30. The four 

mainline sections will be returned to 

natural gas service while remaining 

elevated using sandbags and skids 

during the longwall mining activities 

and potential ground subsidence. Once 

the mining-induced subsidence and the 

2017–2018 heating season have both 

ended, the two sections of pipeline 

located within wetlands will be 

removed and the four elevated pipeline 

sections will be re-installed 

belowground, hydrostatically tested, 

and placed back into service. 

Background 

On July 24, 2017, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Marshall County Mine Panel 

18W Project and Request for Comments

was sent to affected landowners; federal, 

state, and local government agencies; 

elected officials; environmental and 

public interest groups; Native American 

tribes; other interested parties; and local 

libraries and newspapers. The 

Commission did not received any 

comments in response to the NOI.

issuance of the EA and to keep track of
