Draft Environmental Documents Submitted to FERC
November 23, 2016 — Williams Transco submitted to FERC a draft of environmental documents, known as resource reports, to allow the agency the opportunity to preview the initial data and design for the project. These reports include preliminary analyses of route alternatives, potential impact to water, vegetative and wildlife resources, cultural resources, soils, geology, land use, socioeconomics, noise air quality and safety. This draft analysis of potential impacts is ongoing, and as a result, contains placeholders for information that will be included in the formal application. The Northeast Supply Enhancement project only proposes changes to Compressor Station 200, located in East Whiteland Township. View the filing with FERC.
