Tennessee Gas Ditches Old Pipes with Green Light from Feds
Published Date: 5/8/2025
Notice
Summary
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company plans to stop using and remove parts of two old gas pipelines in Louisiana, affecting local landowners and communities. The government checked and found this won’t harm the environment much. This project will happen soon and involves moving some equipment, but it won’t cost the public extra money.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Pipeline Abandonment Impacts on Land
Tennessee Gas Pipeline proposes to abandon in-place about 58.0 miles and remove about 17.3 miles of the 16-inch 507G-100 Line, and abandon in-place about 7.9 miles and remove about 1.1 miles of the 12-inch 507G-500 lateral, plus disconnect and remove appurtenant facilities in Acadia, Vermilion, Iberia, and St. Mary Parishes, Louisiana. The project also involves relocating an existing pigging facility.
FERC Finds No Major Environmental Impact
FERC staff prepared an Environmental Assessment and concluded that approval of the proposed 507G Line Abandonment Project would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
