DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP24-508-000]
Notice of Availability of the Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Rover Pipeline LLC Rover--Sunny Farms Receipt and Delivery
Meter Station Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the
Rover--Sunny Farms Receipt and Delivery Meter Station Project
(Project), proposed by Rover Pipeline LLC (Rover) in the above-
referenced docket.\1\ Rover requests authorization to construct and
operate aboveground facilities and new pipeline delivery and receipt
point interconnections within and adjacent to Rover's Mainline easement
in Hancock County, Ohio. The interconnection will enable Rover to
receive up to 6,269 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of renewable natural gas
(RNG) from VRNG Seneca LLC (Vision) and for Rover to deliver up to
7,893 Dth/d of natural gas to Vision to fuel its RNG facility
equipment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For tracking purposes under the National Environmental
Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1725459309. 40 CFR
1501.5(c)(4) (2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC
staff concludes that approval of the proposed project would not
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment.
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> use of a 0.6-mile new permanent access road leading from
West County Road 18 to the meter station (to be constructed by Vision).
The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability 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 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

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 February 24, 2025.

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/how-intervene">https://www.ferc.gov/how-intervene</a>.
Additional information about the project is available from the
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.

meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission
