Alabama Power Company; Notice of

Availability of Final Environmental

Assessment

February 26, 2001.

A final environmental assessment

(EA) is available for public review. The

final EA analyzes the environmental

impacts of Alabama Power Company’s

application for a temporary variance to

maintain water levels in Neely Henry

Reservoir is part of the Coosa River

Hydroelectric Project on the Coosa River

not occupy any federal lands.

The final EA was written by staff in

final EA, Commission staff conclude

that approving Alabama Power

Company’s application would not

constitute a major federal action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment. Copies of our final

[Docket No. CP00–165–000]

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line

Corporation; Notice of Availability of

the Environmental Assessment for the

Proposed Sundance Expansion Project

February 22, 2001.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) has prepared an

environmental assessment (EA) on the

natural gas pipeline and compressor

facilities proposed by Transcontinental

Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco) in

the above referenced docket.

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 Transco’s

proposed pipeline loops and the related

expansion and modification of

compressor units. Transco’s proposed

Sundance Expansion Project would

include:

• A total of approximately 38 miles of

42-inch and 48-inch diameter pipeline

looping 1 in four separate locations on

existing pipelines;

• Piping modifications to existing

Compressor Station No. 105;

• The addition of one new 18,975

horsepower (hp) electric motor-driven

compressor, the uprating of an existing

15,000 hp electric motor-driven

compressor, and the uprating of an

existing 16,500 hp electric motor-driven

compressor to 18,975 hp at the existing

Compressor Station No. 115, thus

increasing total certificated compression

at the facility to 56,925 hp;

• The addition of one new 15,000 hp

gas turbine-driven natural gas

compressor and the uprating of an

existing 4,000 hp compressor to 4,800

hp at existing Compressor Station No.

125, thus increasing total compression

at the facility to 38,800 hp;

• The addition of gas coolers to the

existing Compressor Station No. 150;

• The Installation of various pig

launcher/receiver facilities and

mainline block valves at the beginnings

and ends of the proposed loops, with

additional mainline block valves

installed as needed on the loops.

The Sundance Expansion Project also

includes nonjurisdictional facilities.

These include a 6.5-mile-long, 24-inchdiameter pipeline (Wansley Lateral)

from a tap on Transco’s Mainline

System at milepost 1000.9 to a planned

electric generating facility (Wansley

Plant) in Heard County, Georgia, set for

commencement of service on June 1,

2002; and an 81.7-mile-long, 30-inchdiameter pipeline (Richmond Lateral)

from a tap on Transco’s Mainline

System at milepost 1286.96 to an

electric generating facility (Richmond

Plant) in Richmond County, North

Carolina, that is presently under

construction.

Transco’s proposed Sundance

Expansion Project would expand the

capacity of its existing mainline system
