Southeast Supply Header, LLC; Notice of Schedule for the
Preparation of an Environmental Assessment for the Tupelo Trail Project
On June 15, 2026, Southeast Supply Header, LLC (SESH) filed an
application in Docket No. CP26-543-000 requesting a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act to install, replace, modify, and operate certain
natural gas compressor station facilities. The proposed project is
known as the Tupelo Trail Project (Project) and would provide up to
110,000 dekatherms per day of natural gas to the Plant Daniel electric
generation facility in Jackson County, Mississippi.
On June 30, 2026, 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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For tracking purposes under the National Environmental
Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1786619661.

Schedule for Environmental Review
Issuance of EA--February 12, 2027
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline \2\--May 13, 2027
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Commission's deadline applies to the decisions of other
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
schedule is otherwise established by federal law.
If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.
Project Description
SESH proposes to install, replace, modify, and operate compression
facilities and related appurtenances at existing compressor stations in
George and Jefferson Davis Counties, Mississippi, and Richland Parish,
Louisiana. The Tupelo Trail Project would consist of the following
activities:
<bullet> installing a new compressor unit powered by a 23,470-
horsepower Titan 130 natural gas turbine and related appurtenances at
the existing Lucedale Compressor Station in George County, Mississippi;
<bullet> replacing an existing compressor with a new compressor at
the Lucedale Compressor Station;
<bullet> replacing the existing engine on Compressor Unit 2 at the
Gwinville Compressor Station in Jefferson Davis County, Mississippi;
<bullet> uprating compressor units and increasing compression at
the Delhi, Gwinville, and Lucedale Compressor Stations by modifying
software controls that limit horsepower;
<bullet> and performing associated appurtenant activities.
Background
On July 22, 2026, the Commission issued a Notice of Scoping Period
Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed Tupelo
Trail 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. In response to the Notice of Scoping, the Commission
received comments from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services' Louisiana
Ecological Services Office and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency. The primary issues raised by the commenters concern air quality
effects; waste disposal; and the use of the Information for Planning
and Consultation tool for protected species effects determinations. All
substantive comments will be addressed in the EA.
