DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP09-161-000]

Bison Pipeline, L.L.C.; Notice of Availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Bison Pipeline Project

December 29, 2009.

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Bison Pipeline Project proposed by Bison Pipeline, L.L.C.
(Bison) in the above-referenced docket. Bison requests authorization to
construct and operate pipeline facilities to deliver approximately 477
million cubic feet per day of natural gas from the Powder River Basin
in northeast Wyoming, through southeastern Montana and southwestern
North Dakota, to the Northern Border pipeline system. Through the
existing Northern Border pipeline, the natural gas would be shipped to
markets in the Midwestern United States (primarily Iowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, and Illinois).
    The final EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Bison Pipeline Project in accordance
with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project
would have some adverse environmental impact; however, we believe that
environmental impacts would be reduced to less-than-significant levels
if the proposed Project is constructed and operated in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations, Bison's proposed mitigation, and
additional measures recommended in the EIS.
    The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) participated as a cooperating agency in the preparation of the
EIS. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise
with respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and
participate in the NEPA analysis. The BLM would present their own
conclusions and recommendations

in their Record of Decision, and would adopt this EIS per 40 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) 1506.3 if, after an independent review of the
document, they conclude that their permitting requirements have been
satisfied.
    The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the following project facilities:
     Approximately 301.2 miles of 30-inch-diameter natural gas
transmission pipeline;
     One new compressor station totaling 4,700 horsepower of
compression: the Hettinger Compressor Station located in Hettinger
County, North Dakota;
     Two new meter stations;
     Nineteen mainline valves; and
     Three pig \1\ launcher and pig receiver facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A ``pig'' is a mechanical device used to clean or inspect
the pipeline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Dependent upon Commission approval, Bison proposes to complete
construction and begin operating the proposed Project in November 2010.
    The final EIS has been placed in the public files of the FERC and
is available for public viewing on the FERC's Web site at http://
www.ferc.gov. A limited number of copies 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 EIS have been mailed to federal, state, and local
government agencies; elected officials; Native American tribes and
regional organizations; local libraries and newspapers; parties to this
proceeding; and other interested parties. Hard copy versions of the EIS
were mailed to those specifically requesting them; all others received
a CD-ROM version.

texts of formal documents issued by the Commission, such as orders,
notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. Go to http://www.ferc.gov/esubscribenow.htm.
