Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP06–433–001]

Northern Natural Gas Company;

Supplemental Notice of Intent To

Prepare an Environmental Assessment

for the Palmyra North Expansion

Project Amendment and Request for

Comments on Environmental Issues

sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES

December 18, 2006.

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 Palmyra North Expansion Project

involving construction and operation of

new facilities by Northern Natural Gas

Company (Northern) in Nebraska, Iowa,

Kansas, and South Dakota.1 On August

29, 2006, Northern filed an application

with the FERC, in Docket No. CP06–

433–000, for authorization under

sections 7(c) and 7(b) of the Natural Gas

Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the

Commission’s regulations for a

Certificate of Public Convenience and

Necessity (Certificate) to expand the

capacity of its Palmyra North Facilities

(Palmyra). On December 6, 2006,

Northern filed an amendment to their

application with the FERC, in Docket

No. CP06–433–001, for authorization to

include two additional meter stations in

Clay and Sioux Counties, Iowa; the

subject of this Notice. The EA will

encompass all proposed facilities and be

used by the Commission in its decisionmaking process to determine whether

the project is in the public convenience

and necessity.

1 The Commission issued a Notice of Application

on September 6, 2006 for Northern’s August 29,

2006 application. On December 12, 2006, the

Commission issued a Notice of Application for

Northern’s December 6, 2006 amendment.

VerDate Aug<31>2005

20:03 Dec 27, 2006

Jkt 211001

On September 12, 2006, the FERC

issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an

Environmental Assessment for the

Proposed Palmyra North Expansion

Project and Request for Comments on

Environmental Issues (NOI). The NOI

was published in the Federal Register

and was also mailed to 114 interested

parties, including Federal, State, and

local officials; agency representatives;

conservation organizations; Native

American groups; local libraries and

newspapers; and property owners

affected by the proposed facilities. This

NOI is requesting comments on the two

additional meter stations that Northern

has proposed.

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 Northern 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 (http://www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

Northern proposes to expand the

capacity of its Palmyra North Facilities

in Clay and Sioux Counties, Iowa in

order to transport an additional 12,100

dekatherms per day of natural gas in

order to meet agricultural and ethanol

customer demand and to increase

incremental winter peak day service. By

this Application Amendment, Northern

seeks authority to also:

• Install a new meter station to an

existing Northern line at MP 21.9 in

Clay County, Iowa; and

• install a new meter station to an

existing Northern line at MP 28.3 in

Sioux County, Iowa.

Two nonjurisdictional facilities, a

new ethanol plant and an ethanol plant

expansion, have been proposed in

association with the Palmyra North

Expansion Project. We have made a

preliminary decision to not address the

PO 00000

Frm 00052

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

impacts of these facilities. We will

briefly describe their location and

summarize the status of state and local

environmental reviews in the EA.

The general location of the project

facilities is shown in Appendix 1.2

Land Requirements for Construction

Construction of the proposed facilities

would impact about 1.8 acres of land.

Following construction, approximately

0.4 acre of new land would be

maintained for operation. The

remaining 1.4 acres of land would be

restored and allowed to revert to its

former use.

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 3 will discuss impacts

that could occur as a result of the

construction and operation of the

proposed project under these general

headings:

• Soils.

• Land Use.

• Water Resources and Wetlands.

• Cultural Resources.

• Vegetation and Wildlife.

We will also evaluate possible

alternatives to the proposed 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
