DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP21-78-000]
ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Wisconsin Access
Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the Wisconsin Access Project, proposed by ANR Pipeline Company
(ANR) in the above-referenced docket. ANR requests authorization to
modify seven existing meter stations in Oneida, Marathon, Oconto, and
Manitowoc Counties, Wisconsin and increase firm transportation capacity
on its pipeline by 50,707 dekatherms per day.
The final EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Wisconsin Access Project in
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act. FERC staff concludes that approval of the Project would not result
in significant environmental impacts, with the exception of climate
change impacts, where staff find the annual operation and downstream
greenhouse gas emissions from the project would exceed the Commission's
presumptive significance threshold based on 100 percent utilization.
The final EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of minor modifications to ANR's existing
Coleman, Lena, Meeme, Mosinee, Rhinelander, Suring, and Two Rivers
Meter Stations. The modifications include the replacement of some
metering and filtering equipment, installation of additional metering
equipment, and replacement of two meter station buildings at the Lena
and Rhinelander Meter Stations.
The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Wisconsin Access 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 using the eLibrary link on
