Notice
Summary
Gulf South Pipeline wants to build new compressor stations in Louisiana and Mississippi to keep gas flowing smoothly and reliably. The government is asking the public to share their thoughts on how this project might affect the environment before making a final decision. If you care about local nature or community impacts, now’s the time to speak up—comments are due by June 30, 2025.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Landowners May Face Eminent Domain
If you own land where Gulf South wants to build, a company representative may try to negotiate an easement with you. If the project is approved by FERC and you do not reach an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation (eminent domain) proceedings in court and a judge would determine compensation under state law.
Project Raises Regional Gas Capacity
The project would increase pipeline capacity by 280,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) to serve certain southeast markets and provide about 35,000 Dth/d of incidental capacity on an isolated portion of the system. The work includes modifications at three compressor stations and construction of a new Hinds Compressor Station.
Land and Permanent Footprint Impacts
Construction would affect a total of 89.43 acres during construction and remediation activities, including 1.17 acres of operational impacts and about 7.92 acres of permanent impacts for the new Hinds Compressor Station.
Public Scoping Comments Due June 30, 2025
FERC has opened a scoping process and requests public comments on environmental issues; comments must be received by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on June 30, 2025. You can submit comments electronically via eComment or eFiling, or mail a paper copy referencing Docket No. CP25-219-000.
Historic-Property Consultation Begins (Section 106)
