Kosciusko Pipeline Draft EIS: FERC Weighs Environmental Trade-Offs
Published Date: 4/6/2026
Notice
Summary
Gulf South Pipeline Company and Texas Gas Transmission want to build the Kosciusko Junction Pipeline, which could affect local land and wildlife. A draft report shows the project might cause some small environmental issues, but with smart planning and safety steps, these problems should be minor. People have until May 25, 2026, to share their thoughts before final decisions and possible construction start.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Major Pipeline and Compressor Construction Planned
The Project would transfer three 36-inch pipelines totaling 97.74 miles (sale), construct a new 102.9-mile, 36-inch Kosciusko Junction Pipeline and an 8.1-mile, 36-inch Columbia Gulf Lateral, and add multiple compressor stations and meter stations. Planned compressor capacity includes 24,160 horsepower at Greenville CS; 24,615 horsepower at Isola CS; 23,984 horsepower at Holmes CS; and 61,293 horsepower (three units) at Kosciusko CS.
Draft EIS: Limited Environmental Harms
The draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) says approval of the Kosciusko Junction Pipeline Project would cause some limited adverse effects on local land and wildlife, but with the applicants' and Commission staff's mitigation measures those effects would be less than significant. You can review the draft EIS and comment before the Commission finalizes its decision.
Nearby Residents Can Review Construction Plans
Landowners with residences within 25 feet of construction work areas have site-specific residential construction plans (Applicants' Appendix 8G, FERC Accession no. 20260116-5091) available on FERC's eLibrary, and they are encouraged to file comments on those plans by May 25, 2026. You can submit comments electronically, by mail, or in person at scheduled public sessions.
