E6–8578 Filed 6–1–06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717–01–P VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:05 Jun 01, 2006 Jkt 208001 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP06–85–000] Centerpoint Energy Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Carthage to Perryville Project May 26, 2006. The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared this Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission (CEGT) under the abovereferenced docket. CEGT’s Carthage to Perryville Project (Project) would be located in various counties and parishes in eastern Texas and northern Louisiana. This Draft 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 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) are Federal cooperating agencies for the development of this EIS. A Federal cooperating agency has jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to any environmental impact involved with the proposal and is involved in the NEPA analysis. The general purpose of the proposed Project is to facilitate the transport of up to 1.2 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas received from production areas in eastern Texas, as well as northern Louisiana, to markets in the Midwest and Northeastern regions of the United States that can be accessed through interconnects with existing pipeline infrastructure. The Draft EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of construction and operation of the following facilities: • About 171.9 miles of 42-inchdiameter natural gas pipeline in Panola County, Texas, and Caddo, DeSoto, Red River, Bienville, Jackson, Ouachita, and Richland Parishes, Louisiana; • Two new, 20,620 horsepower (hp) gas-turbine-driven compressor stations, the Panola and Vernon Compressor Stations, located in Panola County, Texas, and Jackson Parish, Louisiana, respectively; • Two meter and regulator stations at receipt points with three intrastate pipelines, including: PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 —Houston Pipe Line (HPL) Meter/ Regulator (M/R) Station in Panola County, Texas; —Duke Energy Field Services-Enbridge M/R Station in Panola County, Texas; • Four new meter and regulator stations at interconnects with existing interstate pipelines, including: —Texas Gas M/R Station in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana; —ANR M/R Station in Richland Parish, Louisiana; —Trunkline M/R Station in Richland Parish, Louisiana; —Columbia Gulf M/R Station in Richland Parish, Louisiana; • 11 mainline valves; and • Four pig launcher/receiver facilities associated with the Panola and Vernon Compressor Stations and the HPL and Columbia Gulf M/R Stations. CEGT proposes to construct its pipeline facilities in two phases. Construction of Phase I would be initiated in October 2006 and completed by February 2007, at which point CEGT would place the proposed Project inservice. Under Phase I, a single, 10,310hp turbine compressor would be installed at each compressor station. Under Phase II, a second compressor would be installed to bring the total installed compression at each facility to 20,620 hp. CEGT indicates that Phase II facilities would be installed and operational by October 2008. Comment Procedures and Public Meetings Any person wishing to comment on the Draft EIS may do so.
