Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP21-492-000]


Rover Pipeline LLC; Notice of Availability of the Environmental 
Assessment for the Proposed Rover-Brightmark Receipt and Delivery Meter 
Station Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the 
Rover-Brightmark Receipt and Delivery Meter Station Project, proposed 
by Rover Pipeline LLC (Rover) in the above-referenced docket. Rover 
requests authorization to construct and operate a receipt and delivery 
meter station in Lenawee County, Michigan.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the Rover-Brightmark Receipt and Delivery 
Meter Station Project in accordance with the requirements of the 
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that 
approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, 
would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    The Project purpose is to allow Rover to receive up to 1,500 
dekatherms per day of natural gas from the Brightmark SunRyz Renewable 
Natural Gas Project and to allow Rover to deliver up to 100 dekatherms 
per day of natural gas to fuel the Brightmark Renewable Natural Gas 
facility equipment. The proposed Rover-Brightmark Receipt and Delivery 
Meter Station Project includes two, 2-inch-diameter hot taps, two tap 
valves, 65 feet of interconnecting pipe (30 feet of receipt pipe and 35 
feet of delivery pipe), two Coriolis Meter Skids, gas quality building, 
a measurement building, and satellite communications.
    The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability to 
federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; 
elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native 
American tribes; potentially affected landowners and other interested 
individuals and groups; and newspapers and libraries in the project 
area. The EA is only available in electronic format. It may be viewed 
and downloaded from the FERC's website (www.ferc.gov), on the natural 
gas environmental documents page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). In addition, the EA 
may be

    The EA is not a decision document. It presents Commission staff's 
independent analysis of the environmental issues for the Commission to 
consider when addressing the merits of all issues in this proceeding. 
Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments should 
focus on the EA's disclosure and discussion of potential environmental 
effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen 
environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful 
they will be. To ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to 
consider your comments prior to making its decision on this project, it 
is important that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or 
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 28, 2022.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file 
your comments to the Commission. The Commission encourages electronic

    Filing environmental comments will not give you intervenor status,

Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing or judicial review of 
the Commission's decision. At this point in this proceeding, the 
timeframe for filing timely intervention requests has expired. Any 
person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a motion 
to intervene out-of-time pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214(b)(3) and
