AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This notice starts the environmental review for Great Basin Gas Transmission Company’s planned 2028 pipeline expansion in Nevada. FERC is asking the public, agencies, tribes, and landowners to comment on environmental issues, alternatives, and mitigation measures before it decides whether the project is in the public interest. The project would add about 195 miles of new 42-inch pipeline, 15 miles of laterals, a new compressor station, and related facilities, while abandoning older pipeline and two compressor stations. People in the affected Nevada counties, especially landowners and local governments, may be contacted about easements, and they should watch the comment deadlines and public sessions if they want their concerns included.
