Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of the Draft General Conformity Determination Reevaluation for the Northeast Supply Enhancement Project
[top] 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
• 10.2 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline loop? 1 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (the Quarryville Loop);
Footnotes:
1 ?A pipeline "loop" is a segment of pipe constructed parallel to an existing pipeline to increase capacity.
• 3.4 miles of 26-inch-diameter pipeline loop in Middlesex County, New Jersey (the Madison Loop);
• 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);
• modification of existing Compressor Station 200 in Chester County, Pennsylvania;
• new Compressor Station 206 in Somerset County, New Jersey; and
• 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.
