DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP16-64-000]
ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review
of the Collierville Expansion Project
On January 20, 2016, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR) filed an
application in Docket No. CP16-64-000 requesting a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act to construct and operate certain natural gas pipeline
facilities. The proposed project is known as the Collierville Expansion
Project (Project). The Project would expand the delivery capability of
the existing Collierville Meter Station by an additional 200,000
dekatherms per day, enabling ANR to provide requested service to the
Tennessee Valley Authority's pending Allen Combined Cycle Power Plant
in Memphis, Tennessee.
On February 3, 2016, 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 Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice
identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the completion of the
EA for the Project.
Schedule for Environmental Review
Issuance of EA--July 29, 2016
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--October 27, 2016
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
The Project would consist of the following:
A new Collierville Compressor Station containing one 4,700
horsepower gas turbine compressor unit and ancillary equipment,
including an emergency generator unit, a condensate tank, new control
building, and compressor building;
suction and discharge interconnect station piping; and
upgrades to the existing Collierville Meter Station.
Background
On February 26, 2016, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Collierville
Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues
(NOI). The NOI 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. The Commission did not receive comments
in response to the NOI.
Additional Information
In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EA and to
keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets,
the Commission offers a free service called eSubscription. This can
reduce the amount of time you spend researching proceedings by
