Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP22-24-000]
Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Schedule for the Preparation of an
Environmental Assessment for the Truittsburg Well Conversion Project
On December 2, 2021, Equitrans, L.P. filed an application in Docket
No. CP22-24-000 requesting a Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to construct
and operate certain natural gas pipeline facilities. The proposed
project is known as the Truittsburg Well Conversion Project (Project),
and would convert two observation wells into injection/withdrawal (I/W)
wells in the existing Truittsburg Storage Field in Clarion County,
Pennsylvania.
On December 13, 2021, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project.
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's
environmental document for the Project.
This notice identifies Commission staff's intention to prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) for the Project and the planned schedule
for the completion of the environmental review.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 40 CFR 1501.10 (2020).

Issuance of EA March 7, 2022
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline June 5, 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
Equitrans is proposing to add approximately 1,119 feet of 4-inch-
diameter natural gas pipeline to convert Truittsburg wells 2483 and
2484 from observation wells to I/W wells and install pigging \2\ valves
at the wellheads and associated piping.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ A ``pig'' is a tool that the pipeline company inserts into
and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning the pipeline,
conducting internal inspections, or other purposes.

Background
On January 5, 2022, the Commission issued a Notice of Scoping
Period Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed
Truittsburg Well Conversion Project (Notice of Scoping). The Notice of
Scoping was sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and local
government agencies; elected officials; environmental and public
interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested parties; and
local libraries and newspapers. In response to the Notice of Scoping,
the Commission received comments from one landowner in support of the
Project. All substantive comments will be addressed in the EA.
