FERC said Nov. 2 that it intends to finalize its environmental review of the Bison Pipeline project by the end of the year, with an eye toward issuing a decision late in the first quarter of 2010. The commission said it would issue a final environmental impact statement by Dec. 29, and set a 90-day federal authorization decision deadline of March 29, 2010. TransCanada Corp. filed an application for the 302-mile system in April, estimating total construction costs would reach almost $610 million. As proposed, the new system could deliver approximately 477 MMcf/d of gas from the Powder River Basin in northeast Wyoming to Northern Border Pipeline Co.'s pipeline system, which would ship the gas to markets in the U.S. Midwest — primarily Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. Plans call for a 30-inch-diameter gas transmission pipeline, and a new compressor station totaling 4,700 horsepower of compression located in Hettinger County, N.D. (CP09-161) |
