DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP21-14-000]
Adelphia Gateway, LLC; Notice of Availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Marcus Hook Electric
Compression Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Marcus Hook Electric Compression Project, proposed by Adelphia
Gateway, LLC (Adelphia) in the above-referenced docket. Adelphia
requests authorization to construct and operate certain natural gas
compression facilities in order to increase the certificated capacity
of Adelphia's pipeline system to provide an additional 16,500
dekatherms per day of firm transportation service for a new shipper on
Adelphia's system.
The final EIS responds to comments that were received on the
Commission's February 9, 2021 Environmental Assessment (EA) and June
17, 2021 draft EIS \1\ and discloses downstream greenhouse gas
emissions for the Project. With the exception of climate change
impacts, the FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed
project, with the mitigation measures recommended in the EIS, would not
result in significant environmental impacts. FERC staff continues to be
unable to determine the significance of the Project's contribution to
climate change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Project's EA is available on FERC's eLibrary under
accession no. 20210209-3004 and the draft EIS is available under
accession no. 20210617-3051.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final EIS incorporates and appends the above referenced EA,
which addressed the potential environmental effects of the construction
and operation of the following Project facilities at the existing
Marcus Hook Compressor Station in Delaware County, Pennsylvania:
<bullet> An electric motor-driven 3,000-horsepower (hp) compressor
unit;
<bullet> one horizontal process gas cooler with two 25-hp electric-
driven motors;
<bullet> two variable frequency drives; and
<bullet> a motor control center assembly to control the electric
compressor engine from a central location.
The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Marcus Hook Electric
Compressor Station Project to federal, state, and local government
representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental and
public interest groups; Native American tribes; potentially affected
landowners and other interested individuals and groups; and newspapers
and libraries in the project area. The final EIS is only available in
electronic format. It may be viewed and downloaded from the FERC's
website (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov">www.ferc.gov</a>), on the natural gas environmental documents page
(<a href="https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents">https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents</a>). In addition, the final EIS may be accessed by
