Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP21-29-000]
Gas Transmission Northwest LLC; Notice of Schedule for the
Preparation of an Environmental Assessment for the Coyote Springs
Compressor Station Project
On January 13, 2021, Gas Transmission Northwest LLC (GTN) filed a
prior notice request pursuant to the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission's (FERC or Commission) regulations found at Title 18 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 157.205 and 157.208, requesting
authorization to construction the new Coyote Springs Compressor Station
in Morrow County, Oregon. The proposed project is known as the Coyote
Springs Compressor Station Project (Project), and GTN states it would
provide operation reliability and flexibility and allow it to meet its
mainline certificated capacity while still meeting its design pressure
requirements.
On January 21, 2021, the FERC issued its Notice of Application for
the Project. Subsequent to Commission staff's Environmental Assessment
(EA) Report (issued on March 15, 2021), however, Commission staff
determined that the Project could result in effects on National
Register of Historic Places-eligible properties (historic properties).
On October 8, 2021, GTN filed supplemental information clarifying that
the Project would result in no adverse effect on historic properties,
which does not meet the requirement of no effect on historic properties
under the prior notice regulations (found at Title 18 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 157.206(3)(ii) and Appendix II). Therefore,
the Project has converted to a Natural Gas Act 7(c) application. This
notice identifies Commission staff's intention to prepare a
supplemental EA for the Project and the planned schedule for the
completion of the environmental review.
Schedule for Environmental Review
Issuance of supplemental EA--March 4, 2022
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--June 2, 2022
If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.
Project Description
GTN states that as a result of existing design pressure
requirements and operational fluctuations, its existing Coyote Springs
Lateral is operationally constrained. In order to alleviate delivery
pressure concerns, GTN proposes to install, own, and operate the 1,586
horsepower greenfield Coyote Springs Compressor Station, in Morrow
County, Oregon, on the Coyote Springs Lateral near Milepost 304.25. GTN
states the new compressor station would provide operational reliability
and flexibility and allow it to meet the mainline certificated design
capacity and design pressure requirements.
Additional Information

supplemental EA and to keep track of formal issuances and submittals in
