As part of the Pre-file process, FERC is conducting a comprehensive review of environmental impacts that could result from the construction and operation of the proposed facilities in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. As part of its review, FERC issued a Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and initiate a public scoping period.
During the scoping period, FERC is encouraging the public and agencies to provide comments on potential environmental issues by May 22, 2015. Comments may be submitted verbally or in writing at the public Scoping Meetings; electronically on FERC’s website (see our FERC comment page for help on Commenting) using the eComment or the feature under the link to Documents and Filings; or by mail to this address:
