[Docket No. CP25-233-000]
Magnum Gas Storage, LLC; Notice of Schedule for the Preparation
of an Environmental Assessment for the 2025 Amendment Project
On April 21, 2025, Magnum Gas Storage, LLC (Magnum) filed an
application in Docket No. CP25-233-000 requesting to amend its
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate) issued
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for the Magnum Gas
Storage Project. The proposed project is known as the 2025 Amendment
Project (Project) and includes modification of previously approved
facilities, and construction and operation of additional facilities in
Millard, Juab, and Utah Counties, Utah for a total of 20.8 billion
cubic feet (Bcf) of working natural gas storage capacity.
On April 30, 2025, 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
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1750685312.

federal agencies, and state agencies acting under federally
delegated authority, that are responsible for federal
authorizations, permits, and other approvals necessary for proposed
projects under the Natural Gas Act. Per 18 CFR 157.22(a), the
Commission's deadline for other agency's decisions applies unless a

Project Description
The proposed Project is an amendment to the FERC Certificate issued
on March 17, 2011, and amended on November 17, 2016, and April 23,
2020, (Docket Nos. PF09-3-000, CP10-22-000, CP16-18-000, and CP20-77-
000). The proposed modifications consist primarily of changes to the
locations of previously approved facilities and utilities within areas
previously analyzed for environmental impacts. Magnum requests
authorization to redesign the two authorized caverns for 5.2 Bcf of
working gas each and to construct and operate two additional storage
caverns with 5.2 Bcf of working gas capacity each, one additional brine
disposal pond and related facilities, and two new pipeline
interconnections.
Background
On June 17, 2025, the Commission issued a Notice of Scoping Period
Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed 2025
Amendment Project. (Notice of Scoping). The Notice of Scoping was sent
to affected landowners; federal, state, and local government agencies;
elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native
American tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries and
newspapers. Prior to the issuance of the Notice of Scoping, the
Commission received comments from two landowners. The concerns raised
were impacts to adjacent land use, property rights, and lack of
adequate project information. All substantive comments will be
addressed in the EA.

keep track of formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets, the
Commission offers a free service called eSubscription. This service
