[Docket No. CP95-614-000]
Paiute Pipeline Co.; Notice of Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed Paiute LNG Trucking Project
November 8, 1995.
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) on the
natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Paiute Pipeline Company
(Paiute) in the above-referenced docket.
The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. The staff concludes that approval of the
proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not
constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment.
The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction project which includes the following facilities: and
operation of Paiute's proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucking
About 330 feet of 3-inch-diameter transfer piping;
A 115-foot-long drainage channel;
A cryogenic flexible hose;
Isolation and relief valves; and
Other appurtenant facilities.
The purpose of the project is to construct an LNG truck unloading
station to give Paiute the ability to provide its LNG storage service
customers with additional options for helping to meet their peak
demand, emergency, or other requirements.
The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC and is
available for public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, Public Reference and Files Maintenance Branch, 888 First
Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, (202) 208-1371.
Copies of the EA have been mailed to Federal, State and local
agencies, public interest groups, interested individuals, newspapers,
and parties to this proceeding.
A limited number of copies of the EA are available from: Mr. James
Dashukewich, Environmental Project Manager, Environmental Review and
Compliance Branch I, Office of Pipeline Regulation (PR11.1), 888 First
Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, (202) 208-0117.
Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Written comments
must reference Docket No. CP95-614-000, and be addressed to: Office of
the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street,
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
Comments should be filed as soon as possible, but must be received
no later than December 8, 1995, to ensure consideration prior to a
Commission decision on this proposal. A copy of any comments should
also be sent to Mr. James Dashukewich, Environmental Project Manager,
at the above address.
Comments will be considered by the Commission but will not serve to
make the commentor a party to the proceeding. Any person seeking to
become a party to the proceeding must file a motion to intervene
pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214).
The date for filing timely motions to intervene in this proceeding
has passed. Therefore, parties now seeking to file late interventions
must show good cause, as required by section 385.214(b)(3), why this
time limitation should be waived. Environmental issues have been viewed
as good cause for late intervention. You do not need intervenor status
to have your comments considered.
Additional information about this project is available from Mr.
James Dashukewich, Environmental Project Manager.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
