Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP20-10-000]
Rover Pipeline LLC; Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review
of the Wick Meter and Regulator Station Project
On November 1, 2019, Rover Pipeline LLC (Rover) filed an
application in Docket No. CP20-10-000 requesting a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act to construct, own, and operate a new meter station. The
Wick Meter and Regulator Station Project (Project) would allow for the
delivery of natural gas supplies from gathering facilities, under
development by Eureka Midstream, LLC, for transportation on the Rover
pipeline system, and it would be located along Rover's Sherwood Lateral
Pipeline in Tyler County, West Virginia.
On November 19, 2019, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project.
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice
identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the completion of the
EA for the Project.
Schedule for Environmental Review
Issuance of EA: March 13, 2020.
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline: June 11, 2020.
If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.
Project Description
The Wick Meter and Regulator Station Project would consist of an
ultrasonic meter skid and other ancillary facilities in Tyler County,
West Virginia. The ancillary facilities would include piping and
valves, electronic flow measurement devices, flow conditioners,
instrumentation, telemetry, gas analysis devices, gas quality
monitoring devices, flow control valves, condensate storage tank, and
other related equipment. Rover would use about 2.1 acres of land to
construct the station, of which 0.9 acre would be fenced and maintained
for operation of the station.
Background
On January 21, 2020, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Wick Meter and
Regulator Station Project and Request for Comments on Environmental
Issues (NOI). The NOI was sent to affected landowners; federal, state,
and local government agencies; elected officials; environmental and
public interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested
parties. To date, no comments have been received in response to the
NOI. All substantive comments will be addressed in the EA.

keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets,
