DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP07–207–000]

Colorado Interstate Gas Company;

Notice of Availability of the Final

Environmental Impact Statement for

the Proposed High Plains Expansion

Project

pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES

December 28, 2007.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) has prepared this Final

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

for the natural gas pipeline facilities

proposed by Colorado Interstate Gas

Company (CIG) under the abovereferenced docket. CIG’s High Plains

Expansion Project (Project) would be

located in Weld, Morgan, and Adams

Counties, Colorado.

The Final EIS was prepared to satisfy

the requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act. The FERC

staff concludes that the proposed

Project, with the appropriate mitigation

measures as recommended, would have

limited adverse environmental impact.

The purpose of the Project is to

expand CIG’s existing pipeline system

along Colorado’s Front Range in order to

provide additional transportation

services to this rapidly growing market.

CIG is proposing to construct about

163.7 miles of 24-inch and 30-inchdiameter pipeline in four separate

pipeline segments and associated

ancillary facilities.

The Final EIS addresses the potential

environmental impacts resulting from

the construction and operation of the

following facilities:

• Line 250A: 64.5 miles of 30-inchdiameter pipeline and 20.3 miles of 24inch-diameter pipeline that would

extend from CIG’s existing Cheyenne

Compressor Station to an interconnect

point on the proposed Line 251A in

northeast Adams County;

• Line 251A: 57.9 miles of 24-inchdiameter pipeline between CIG’s

existing Watkins and Fort Morgan

Compressor Stations;

• Line 252A: 14.9 miles of 30-inchdiameter pipeline extending westward

from a point on the proposed Line 250A

about one mile north of the existing

VerDate Aug<31>2005

17:32 Jan 07, 2008

Jkt 214001

Hudson Power Plant in the Town of

Hudson, Colorado, to a new

interconnect with Public Service

Company of Colorado’s existing TriTown facilities in Weld County,

Colorado;

• Line 253A: 6.1 miles of 24-inchdiameter pipeline extending westward

from the Watkins Compressor Station to

CIG’s existing East Denver measurement

facility in Adams County, Colorado;

• Ten new meter stations and 19 new

block valves; and

• Twelve pig launcher/receivers.

The entire project would be capable of

transporting about 899,000 decatherms

of gas per day. CIG proposes to begin

construction in January 2008. It would

put each pipeline segment into service

as it is completed, and the entire Project

would be in service by October 2008.

The Final EIS has been placed in the

public files of the FERC and is available

for public inspection at: Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Public

Reference Room, 888 First Street NE.,

Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202)

502–8371.

A limited number of copies of the

Final EIS are available from the Public

Reference Room identified above. In

addition, CD copies of the Final EIS

have been mailed to affected

landowners; various federal, state, and

local government agencies; elected

officials; environmental and public

interest groups; Native American tribes;

local libraries and newspapers;

intervenors; and other individuals that

expressed an interest in the proposed

Project. Hard-copies of the Final EIS

have also been mailed to those who

requested that format during the scoping

and comment periods for the proposed

Project.

Additional information about the

proposed Project is available from the

Commission’s Office of External Affairs,
