Full Public Notice          Project Plans

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  The applicant proposes decommissioning in place of approximately 12.02 miles of a 6 5/8-inch in diameter natural gas pipeline (Segment Number 10971), buried below the mud line as shown on the attached Profile View drawing (Sheet 3).  The decommissioning process is a two-step procedure whereby the first phase includes the operational aspects of cleaning and sealing the pipeline in accordance with decommissioning requirements under 30 CFR 250.1750.  The second phase of the decommissioning procedure is retention in place of the existing pipe. 

 There will be no dredged or fill materials involved in these operations.  No structures will be installed.  The applicant noted, “no permanent impacts to water bottoms are anticipated within the scope of this application.”  The applicant stated that, “the pipeline has already been placed out of service due to BSEE Standards, and has been cut, capped, and flushed with native seawater.”  The applicants proposed plans are attached in 3 sheets.
