12/29/2003Resource Report 2 Water Use and Quality FERC Environmental Checklist Resource Report 2 Water Use and Quality Part 380-Appendix A Minimum Filing Company Compliance or Requirements for Environmental Reports Inapplicability of Requirement Identify all perennial surface waterbodies (by milepost) crossed by Table 2.2-1 the Project and their water quality classification. (380.12(d)(1)) Indicate if potable water intakes are within 3 miles downstream of Section 2.1.1 the waterbody crossings. (380.12 (d) (1)). Identify all waterbody crossings (by milepost) that may have Section 2.2-1 contaminated waters or sediments. (380.12 (d) (1)) Identify (by milepost) watershed areas, designated surface water Section 2.2.2; Table 2.2-2 protection areas, and sensitive waterbodies crossed by the Project. (380.12 (d)(1)) Provide a table (based on National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Table 2.3-1 maps if delineations have not been done) identifying all wetlands, by milepost and length, crossed by the Project (including abandoned pipeline), and the total acreage and acreage of each wetland type that would be affected by construction. (380.12 (d) (1 & 4)). Discuss construction and restoration methods proposed for Section 2.3.2 crossing wetlands, and compare them to staff's Wetland and Waterbody Construction and Mitigation Procedures. ( 380.12 (d) (2)). Describe the proposed waterbody construction, impact mitigation, Section 2.2.6 and restoration methods to be used to cross surface waters and compare to the staff's Wetland and Waterbody Construction and Mitigation Procedures. ( 380.12 (d) (2)). Provide original NWI maps or the appropriate state wetland maps, Appendix A.2 if NWI maps are not available, that show all proposed facilities and include milepost locations for proposed pipeline routes. (380.12 (d) (4)). Identify all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Section 2.1.1, Table 2.1-1 state-designated aquifers crossed. ( 380.12 (d) (9)). Identify the location of known public and private groundwater supply wells or springs within 150 feet of construction. Part 380-Appendix A Minimum Filing Company Compliance or Requirements for Environmental Reports Inapplicability of Requirement Additional Information Identify proposed mitigation impacts on groundwater resources. Section 2.1.2 Discuss the potential for blasting to affect water wells, springs, Section 2.1.2 and wetlands, and associated mitigation.

If underground storage of natural gas is proposed, identify how Not applicable water produced from the storage field will be disposed. If salt caverns are proposed for storage of natural gas, identify the Not applicable source locations, the quantity required, the method and rate of water withdrawal, and disposal methods.
