Texas Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Scoping Period Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed Dearborn County Lateral Project

t (202)502-6595 or [email protected] . Summary of the Proposed Project Texas Gas proposes to construct and operate an approximately 12- mile-long, 20-inch-diameter natural gas delivery lateral and appurtenant facilities located in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. According to Texas Gas, the project would provide up to 265,000 dekatherms per day of lateral capacity to provide firm natural gas transportation service from Texas Gas' existing mainline facilities to Vistra Corp.'s Miami Fort Power Plant. The additional firm transportation capacity would support the Miami Fort Power Plant's planned conversion from a coal-fueled electric generation facility to a natural gas-fueled electric generation facility. Specifically, for the Dearborn County Lateral Project, Texas Gas proposes to: construct and operate 11.8 miles of 20-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline from Dearborn County, Indiana to Hamilton County, Ohio; construct and operate tie-in piping, a pig \1\ launcher, and associated infrastructure to the existing Texas Gas 26-inch- diameter Mainline System in Dearborn County, Indiana; --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ A ``pig'' is a tool that the pipeline company inserts into and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning the pipeline, conducting internal inspections, or other purposes. ---------------------------------------------------------
