[Docket No. CP06-421-000]
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation; Notice of
Availability of the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Potomac
Expansion Project
January 16, 2007.
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission
or FERC) has prepared the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
construction and operation of the Potomac Expansion Project as 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 Potomac Expansion Project, with appropriate mitigating
measures as recommended, would not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA
evaluates alternatives to the proposal, including the no-action
alternative.
The EA addresses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the proposed Potomac Expansion Project in
Campbell, Pittsylvania, and Fairfax Counties, Virginia, including the
construction of:
About 16.4 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline;
About 3.4 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline replacement
with 42-inch-diameter pipeline; and
New and replacement aboveground facilities at existing
aboveground facilities.
The purpose of the Potomac Expansion Project is to: expand delivery
capacity on Transco's existing mainline pipeline system to deliver up
to 165,000 dekatherms per day of incremental primary firm
transportation from Transco's interconnects with East Tennessee Natural
Gas and Pine Needle LNG to interconnects with the customers' local
distribution systems in northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and
Baltimore, Maryland.
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.
In addition, copies of the EA have been mailed to Federal, State,
and local government agencies; elected officials; Native American
tribes; local libraries and newspapers; intervenors in the FERC's
proceeding; and affected landowners and individuals.
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:
Send an original and two copies of your comments to:
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE,
Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.
Label one copy of the comments for the attention of the
Gas Branch 1;
Reference Docket No. CP06-421-000; and
Mail your comments so that they will be received in
Washington, DC on or before February 16, 2007.
