[Docket No. CP08-403-000]

Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Piceance Compression
Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

June 20, 2008.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Wyoming Interstate Company,
Ltd. (WIC) involving construction and operation of facilities by WIC in
Rio Blanco County and Moffat County, Colorado.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process we will
use to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the
project. Your input will help the Commission staff determine which
issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping
period will close on July 21, 2008.
    This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state,
and local government representatives and agencies; environmental and
public interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested
parties in this proceeding; and local libraries and newspapers. We
encourage government representatives to notify their constituents of
this planned project and encourage them to comment on their areas of
concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted
by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an
easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities.
The pipeline company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable
agreement. However, if the project is approved by the Commission, that
approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if
easement negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline
company could initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with
state law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' was attached to the
project notice BBS provided to landowners. This fact sheet addresses a
number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent
domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. It is
available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    The proposed project would involve modifications of the Greasewood
Compressor Station (Greasewood CS) and the construction of a new
compressor station called the Snake River Compressor Station (Snake
River CS) as described below.

Greasewood CS

    WIC proposes to uprate the existing compressor unit and install a
new compressor unit at the Greasewood CS located at milepost (MP) 141.7
on Line 233 A in Rio Blanco County, Colorado. All construction activity
would be

confined to the previously disturbed land within the existing 10-acre
industrial site. The uprate and modifications would include the
following:
     Uprate its existing Solar Centaur 40 Turbine at the WIC
Greesewood CS. The uprate requires the replacement of the existing
control panel and software changes that would re-set control points on
the unit. The uprate would increase available horsepower (hp) for the
station from the existing 1,650 site hp to 2,832 site hp;
     Install an additional compressor unit within the existing
station yard. The new unit would consist of a Solar Centaur 40 S
Turbine capable of generating a maximum of 2,832 site hp. Subsequent to
the uprate and the installation of the new unit, the Greasewood CS
would have a total of 5,6654 site hp;
     Construct an extension of the compressor building
approximately 25 feet to accommodate the new compressor;
     A new inlet separator installed in parallel with the
existing separator;
     A new discharge gas cooler installed in parallel with the
existing gas cooler; and
     24-inch-diameter suction and discharge headers and valves.

Snake River CS

    The new Snake River CS would be located at approximately MP 54.2
near the midpoint of the Piceance Lateral in Moffat County, Colorado.
The new compressor station would include the following facilities:
     Two gas fired Solar Taurus 70 units with a total output of
13,664 site hp, including all ancillary equipment such as exhaust
stacks, air intake, lobe oil cooler, etc.;
     A new line separator;
     A new discharge gas cooler;
     An auxiliary building that would house electrical motor
controls, control panels, generators, instrument air systems, battery
systems, etc. This building would be approximately 30 feet by 120 feet
in size;
     Two generators would be installed for both primary and
backup electric generation requirements. Each generator would be
approximately 400 kilovolts-ampers (Kva);
     24-inch-diameter suction and discharge headers and valves;
and
     40 feet self supporting (no guy wires) microwave tower and
accompanying 10 feet by 12 feet prefabricated building.
    In addition, WIC would also modify the regulator runs at the
existing WIC's existing Wamsutter Compressor Station located in
Sweetwater County, Wyoming under section 2.55(a) of the Commission's
regulations. WIC would also reimburse Colorado Interstate Gas Company
who would replace the existing 40-foot Lookout Mountain communication
tower located in Moffat County Colorado to accommodate an additional
microwave dish under section 2.55(a) of the regulations. The
communication site is located on lands administered by the Bureau of
Land Management.
    The location of the project facilities is shown in Appendix 1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of all appendices, other
than Appendix 1 (maps), are available on the Commission's Web site
at the ``eLibrary'' link or from the Commission's Public Reference
Room, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call (202)
502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary refer to the
last page of this notice. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nonjurisdictional Facilities

    There are no non-jurisdictional facilities associated with this
project.

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed facilities would require about 30.2
acres of land Following construction, about 6.1 acres of land would be
maintained as new aboveground facility sites and pipeline right-of-way.
The remaining 24.1 acres of land would be restored within new Snake
River CS property or revert to its former use within the existing
Greasewood CS and Wamsutter Compressor Station property. The Lookout
Mountain Communication Tower would be constructed within the footprint
of an existing communication tower yard.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals.
This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this Notice of Intent, the Commission staff
requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the
EA. All comments received are considered during the preparation of the
EA. State and local government representatives are encouraged to notify
their constituents of this proposed action and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
    In the EA we \2\ will discuss impacts that could occur as a result
of the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We'', ``us'', and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Geology and soils.
     Land use.
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands.
     Cultural resources.
     Vegetation and wildlife.
     Air quality and noise.
     Endangered and threatened species.
     Hazardous waste.
     Public safety.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the proposed project
or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen
or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending
on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be
published and mailed to federal, state, and local agencies, public
interest groups, interested individuals, affected landowners,
newspapers, libraries, and the Commission's official service list for
this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA
is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make
our recommendations to the Commission.
    To ensure your comments are considered, please carefully follow the
instructions in the public participation section below.

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified several issues that we think deserve
attention based on a preliminary review of the proposed facilities and
the environmental information provided by Texas Eastern. This
preliminary list of issues may be changed based on your comments and
our analysis.
     Cultural resources may be affected by the project.
     The project may have air emissions and noise impacts.
     The Snake River CS and Greaswood CS may have visual
impacts.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the Piceance Compression Expansion

Project. 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 your comments are timely and properly
recorded, please send in your comments so that they will be received in
Washington, DC on or before July 21, 2008.
    For your convenience, there are three methods in which you can use

affected by the proposed project. This includes all landowners who are
potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily
for project purposes, or who own homes within distances defined in the
Commission's regulations of certain aboveground facilities. By this
notice we are also asking governmental agencies, especially those in
Appendix 2, to express their interest in becoming cooperating agencies
for the preparation of the EA.
    If you do not want to send comments at this time but still want to
remain on our mailing list, please return the Information Request
(Appendix 3). If you do not return the Information Request, you will be
taken off the mailing list.

Becoming an Intervenor

    In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want
to become an official party to the proceeding known as an
``intervenor.'' Intervenors play a more formal role in the process.
Among other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of
case-related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors.
Likewise, each intervenor must send one electronic copy (using the
Commission's eFiling system) or 14 paper copies of its filings to the
Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all
other parties on the Commission's service list for this proceeding.
    If you want to become an intervenor you must file a motion to
intervene according to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214). Only intervenors have the right to seek
rehearing of the Commission's decision.
    The Notice of Application for this proposed project issued on May
29, 2008 identified the date for the filing of interventions as June
19, 2008. However, affected landowners and parties with environmental
concerns may be granted late intervenor status upon showing good cause
by stating that they have a clear and direct interest in this
proceeding which would not be adequately represented by any other
parties. You do not need intervenor status to have your environmental
comments considered.

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Cunningham Storage Boundary
Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

October 16, 2009.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the proposed Cunningham Storage
Boundary Expansion Project (Project) involving Northern Natural Gas
Company's (Northern) extension of the certificated boundary of the
Cunningham Gas Storage Field in Pratt and Kingman Counties, Kansas.\1\
The EA will be used by the Commission in its decision-making process to
determine whether the project is in the public convenience and
necessity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On September 14, 2009, Northern filed its application with
the Commission under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157
of the Commission's regulations. The Commission issued its Notice of
Application on September 22, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process we \2\
will use to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the
project. Your input will help the Commission staff determine which
issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping
period will close on November 16, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We'', ``us'', and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state,
and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. State and local
government representatives are asked to notify their constituents of
this planned project and encourage them to comment on their areas of
concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted
by a Northern representative about the acquisition of natural gas
storage rights beneath your property. Northern would seek to negotiate
a mutually acceptable agreement for the rights to operate a natural gas
storage field beneath your property. If the project is approved by the
Commission, that approval would convey with it the right of eminent
domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to produce an
agreement, Northern could initiate condemnation proceedings in
accordance with state law. It should be noted that the current proposal
does not involve the construction of any facilities at this time. Any
future proposal to construct jurisdictional facilities at the
Cunningham Storage Field would be subject to an appropriate
environmental review by the Commission.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Web site (http://www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet
addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of
eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.
It is available for viewing on the FERC Internet Web site (http://
www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Northern is proposing to expand its existing Cunningham Gas Storage
Field by 14,240 acres in order to protect the integrity of the storage
field. Northern believes that third party operators outside of the
storage field boundaries are producing storage gas. The location of the
proposed storage field expansion is shown in Appendix 1.\3\

connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice.
Copies of the appendices were sent to all those receiving this
notice in the mail.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements

    No facilities would be constructed. Northern's proposal is for
expansion of the certificated Cunningham Storage Field boundary by an
additional 14,240 acres, including the underlying Viola and Simpson
Formations. This area is

located due north and adjacent to the northern boundary of the storage
field.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals.
This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this Notice of Intent, the Commission staff
requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the
EA. All comments received are considered during the preparation of the
EA. State and local government representatives are encouraged to notify
their constituents of this proposed action and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the storage field extension. We will also evaluate possible
alternatives to the proposed project or portions of the project, and
make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various
resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending
on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be
published and mailed to federal, state, and local agencies, public
interest groups, interested individuals, affected landowners,
newspapers, libraries, and the Commission's official service list for
this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA
is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make
our recommendations to the Commission. To ensure your comments are
considered, please carefully follow the instructions in the public
participation section below.
    With this NOI, we are asking federal, state, and local agencies
with jurisdiction and/or special expertise with respect to
environmental issues to formally cooperate with us in the preparation
of the EA. These agencies may choose to participate once they have
evaluated the proposal relative to their responsibilities. Additional
agencies that would like to request cooperating agency status should
follow the instructions for filing comments provided under the Public
Participation section of this NOI.

Environmental Mailing List

    An effort is being made to send this notice to all individuals,
organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially
affected by the proposed project. This includes all landowners who are
potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily
for project purposes.
    If you do not want to send comments at this time but still want to
remain on our mailing list, please return the Information Request
(Appendix 2). If you do not return the Information Request, you will be
taken off the mailing list.

Becoming an Intervenor

    In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want
to become an ``intervenor,'' which is an official party to the
proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process and are
able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard by the courts if
they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling. An intervenor
formally participates in a Commission proceeding by filing a request to
intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are included in the
User's Guide under the ``e-filing'' link on the Commission's Web site.

the documents. Go to http://www.ferc.gov/esubscribenow.htm.
