Notice
Summary
Nueva Era Dos, LLC wants to build a new pipeline in Maverick County, Texas, and the government is asking the public to share their thoughts on how it might affect the environment.

Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Landowners: Right‑of‑Way and Eminent Domain
If you own land near the project in Maverick County, Texas, you are on the Commission’s environmental mailing list as a potential right‑of‑way grantor and may receive materials about the project. Nueva Era Dos provided landowners a FERC fact sheet titled "An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?" that addresses typically asked questions including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission’s proceedings (Docket No. CP25-527-000).
Land Disturbance Footprint and Permanent Use
Construction of the proposed pipeline would disturb about 3.9 acres of land and, after construction, Nueva Era Dos would maintain about 2.7 acres for permanent operation while 1.2 acres would be restored as practical. The work involves a 3,603‑foot FERC‑jurisdictional 36‑inch pipeline and associated intrastate facilities in Zavala and Maverick Counties, Texas.
Historic Properties and Tribal Consultation
FERC is initiating consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and will solicit views from State Historic Preservation Offices, Indian tribes, government agencies, and the public about potential effects on historic properties. The environmental document will document impacts on historic properties and summarize the status of those consultations.
Public Comment Period and How to Participate
The Commission is taking public comments on the scope of environmental review; comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 6, 2025. You can submit comments via FERC’s eComment, eFiling (eRegister required for eFiling), or by mailing a paper copy referencing Docket No. CP25-527-000.
