DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP21-29-000]
Gas Transmission Northwest LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Coyote Springs Compressor
Station Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a supplemental environmental assessment (EA)
for the Coyote Springs Compressor Station Project, proposed by Gas
Transmission Northwest LLC (GTN) in the above-referenced docket. GTN
requests authorization to construct and operate one new 1,586
horsepower compressor station, in Morrow County, Oregon (Coyote Springs
Compressor Station).
The supplemental EA assesses the potential environmental effects of
the construction and operation of the Coyote Springs Compressor Station
Project in accordance with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act and supplements Commission staff's March 15,
2021 EA to address a timely protest as well as updated information
regarding impacts on historic properties. The FERC 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 Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability to
federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; and
potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and
groups. The EA 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 EA
may be accessed by using the eLibrary link on the FERC's website. Click
on the eLibrary link (<a href="https://elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search">https://elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search</a>),

The EA is not a decision document. It presents Commission staff's
independent analysis of the environmental issues for the Commission to
consider when addressing the merits of all issues in this proceeding.
Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments should
focus on the EA's disclosure and discussion of potential environmental
effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. To ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to
consider your comments prior to making its decision on this project, it
is important that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 4, 2022.

your comments to the Commission. The Commission encourages electronic

Filing environmental comments will not give you intervenor status,
but you do not need intervenor status to have your comments considered.
Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing or judicial review of
the Commission's decision. At this point in this proceeding, the
timeframe for filing timely intervention requests has expired. Any
person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a motion
to intervene out-of-time pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures [18 CFR 385.214(b)(3) and
(d)] and show good cause why the time limitation should be waived.
Motions to intervene are more fully described at <a href="https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/ferc-online/how-guides">https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/ferc-online/how-guides</a>.

Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC website (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov">www.ferc.gov</a>) using the eLibrary link. The eLibrary link
also provides access to the texts of all formal documents issued by the
Commission, such as orders, notices, and rulemakings.

and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. Go to <a href="https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview">https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview</a> to
