Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of
Availability of the Draft General Conformity Determination Reevaluation
for the Northeast Supply Enhancement Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a Draft General Conformity Determination
Reevaluation (GCD Reevaluation) for the Northeast Supply Enhancement
Project (Project), proposed by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company,
LLC (Transco) in the above-referenced dockets. The Draft GCD
Reevaluation was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the Clean Air
Act. The Draft GCD Reevaluation assesses the potential air quality
[[Page 27538]]
impacts associated with the construction and operation of the following
Project facilities:
<bullet> 10.2 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline loop \1\ in
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (the Quarryville Loop);
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ A pipeline ``loop'' is a segment of pipe constructed
parallel to an existing pipeline to increase capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<bullet> 3.4 miles of 26-inch-diameter pipeline loop in Middlesex
County, New Jersey (the Madison Loop);
<bullet> 23.5 miles of 26-inch-diameter pipeline loop onshore and
offshore in Middlesex and Monmouth Counties, New Jersey and Queens and
Richmond Counties, New York (Raritan Bay Loop);
<bullet> modification of existing Compressor Station 200 in Chester
County, Pennsylvania;
<bullet> new Compressor Station 206 in Somerset County, New Jersey;
and
<bullet> ancillary facilities.
The Draft GCD Reevaluation identifies that all emissions above the
General Conformity applicability thresholds from construction of the
Project are expected to occur in New York and New Jersey within the New
Jersey-New York-Connecticut Interstate Air Quality Control Region. The
draft GCD Reevaluation concludes that the Project would achieve
conformity with the New York and New Jersey State Implementation Plans
through the purchase of emission reduction credits of nitrogen oxides
and volatile organic compounds to offset Project emissions.
The Draft GCD Reevaluation is only available in electronic format.
