On August 2, 2024, Rover Pipeline LLC (Rover) filed an application
in Docket No. CP24-508-000 requesting a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas
Act to construct facilities at a new interconnect on Rover's mainline
in Hancock County, Ohio. The proposed project is known as the Rover-
Sunny Farms Receipt and Delivery Meter Station Project (Project).
On August 16, 2024, 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

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\ The EA will be
issued for a 30-day comment period.

Project Description
Rover proposes to construct and operate aboveground facilities and
new pipeline delivery and receipt point interconnections within and
adjacent to Rover's Mainline easement, at approximate milepost 154.54,
in Hancock County, Ohio. The project receipt interconnection would
receive up to 6,269 dekatherms of natural gas per day and the delivery
interconnection and would deliver up to 7,893 dekatherms of natural gas
per day.
The Project would consist of the following facilities and
activities:
<bullet> construction of one delivery meter station with one hot
tap, one tap valve, and dual Coriolis Meter Skid;
<bullet> construction of one receipt meter station with one hot
tap, one tap valve, dual Coriolis Meter Skid, and a gas quality/
measurement building;
<bullet> 90 feet of interconnect piping;
<bullet> installation of associated appurtenant facilities; and
<bullet> construction of 0.6 mile of new permanent access road
leading from West County Road 18 to the meter station.
Background
On September 16, 2024, the Commission issued a Notice of Scoping

federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. The U.S. Fish
