FERC Issues Final EIS for Boardwalk Pipe Carrying M-U Gas to SE

In April, we brought you the news that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) had issued a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Kosciusko Junction Pipeline Project (see FERC Issues DEIS for Boardwalk Pipe to Carry M-U Gas to Southeast). In June, we followed up with word that Boardwalk is dangling temporary capacity on the line during the gap between when the pipe can flow and when its anchor customer actually starts taking gas (see Boardwalk Offers Temporary Capacity Along Pipeline to Southeast). Now comes the next big milestone. Last Friday, FERC staff issued the final EIS (FEIS) for the $1 billion project. Kosciusko Junction — run by Gulf South Pipeline Company, LLC, a subsidiary of Boardwalk Pipelines — will lay 110.9 miles of new 36-inch pipe across nine Mississippi counties and take over 98 miles of existing pipe from sister company Texas Gas Transmission. It's built to move 1.16 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of gas, expandable to 1.58 Bcf/d, from the Marcellus/Utica, Haynesville, and Fayetteville plays to power-hungry Southeast markets.
