RH energytrans, LLC; Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review 
of the Risberg Line Project

    On October 16, 2017, RH energytrans, LLC filed an application in 
Docket No. CP18-6-000 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 Risberg Line Project (Project), and 
would deliver up to 55,000 dekatherms per day of firm natural gas 
transportation service to Dominion Energy Ohio and other prospective 
customers.
    On October 26, 2017, 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--June 29, 2018
90-Day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--September 27, 2018

    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

    RH energytrans, LLC's Risberg Line Project would involve 
modification and recertification of existing facilities and 
installation of new facilities. Activities associated with the 
modification and the recertification of existing facilities would 
include:
     Modifications at the existing County Line Compressor 
Station in Erie County, Pennsylvania;
     conversion of an existing 26.6-mile-long, 12-inch-diameter 
gathering pipeline to natural gas transmission service in Crawford and 
Erie Counties, Pennsylvania; and
     conversion of an existing 5.0-mile-long, 8-inch-diameter 
gathering pipeline to natural gas transmission service in Erie County, 
Pennsylvania.
    New facilities that RH energytrans, LLC proposes to construct 
include:
     Meadville Compressor Station in Crawford County, 
Pennsylvania, including one 728 horsepower natural gas-fired 
reciprocating compressor unit;
     650-foot-long, 12-inch-diameter lateral pipeline within 
the existing 12-inch-diameter gathering pipeline right-of-way;
     28.3-mile-long, 12-inch-diameter pipeline in Erie County, 
Pennsylvania and Ashtabula County, Ohio (Risberg Pipeline); and
     North Kingsville Meter Station in Ashtabula County, Ohio.

Background

    On November 21, 2017, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to 
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Risberg Line 
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. In response to the NOI, the Commission received 
comments from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ohio Department of 
Natural Resources, and 29 individuals. A number of individuals 
submitted more than one comment. The comments included a variety of 
topics such as water resources, wetlands, vegetation, wildlife, land 
use, recreation, and socioeconomics, air quality and noise, reliability 
and safety, and alternatives.

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Pennsylvania Fish and Boat 
Commission are cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EA.
