PetroLogistics Natural Gas Storage, LLC; Notice of Availability 
of the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Petrologistics Gas 
Storage Project

January 4, 2008.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the 
natural gas pipeline facilities proposed to be constructed by 
PetroLogistics Natural Gas Storage, LLC (PetroLogistics) in the above-
referenced docket.
    The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969. 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 constructing 
and operating:
     One 20,000-horsepower electric compressor station on a 2-
acre site;
     One 350-foot-long 24-inch-diameter interconnect pipeline;
     7.3 miles of 24-inch-diameter natural gas header pipeline 
connecting the compressor station and the Florida Gas Transmission 
Company (FGT), CrossTex LIG Pipeline Company (Crosstex)/Bridgeline 
Pipeline System (Bridgeline) and Texas Eastern Transmission Company 
(TETCO) interconnects;
     5.83 miles of 16-inch-diameter interconnect pipeline from 
the Bridgeline/CrossTex tie-in to the Southern Natural Gas Company 
(SONAT) pipeline interconnect;
     A 0.60-mile-long TETCO 16-inch-diameter lateral from near 
the terminus of the 24-inch-diameter header pipeline to the TETCO 
Lateral Meter Station;
     Five meter stations/interconnects (FGT, Bridgeline, 
Crosstex, TETCO and SONAT Meter Stations) and two mainline valves; and
     The recasing of the existing non-jurisdictional Well No. 
25.
    The purpose of the proposed project is to build and operate a high-
deliverability, multi-cycle natural gas storage facility and 
appurtenant facilities in an existing brine cavern within the Choctaw 
Salt Dome located 4 miles northwest of the City of Plaquemine, 
Louisiana.
    The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC. 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.
    Copies of the EA have been mailed to Federal, state and local 
agencies, public interest groups, interested individuals, newspapers, 
and parties to this proceeding.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. To ensure 
consideration prior to a Commission decision on the proposal, it is 
important that we receive your comments before the date specified 
below. Please carefully follow these instructions to ensure that your 
comments are received in time and properly recorded:

Gas Branch 2, PJ11.2.
     Reference Docket No. CP07-427-000; and
