Identify the location (by milepost) of mineral resources and any planned or active Sections 6.3, 6.3.1, 6.3.2, surface mines crossed by the proposed facilities. (380.12 (h) (1 & 2)). 6.3.3, and 6.3.4 Describe hazards to the facilities from mining activities, including subsidence, blasting, slumping or landsliding or other ground failure. 2. Identify any geologic hazards to the proposed facilities. (380.12 (h) (2)) Section 6.4 For the offshore, this information is needed on a mile-by-mile basis and will require completion of geophysical and other surveys before filing. 3. Discuss the need for and locations where blasting may be necessary in order to Section 6.2 construct the proposed facilities. (380.12 (h) (3)) 4. For LNG Projects in seismic areas, the materials required by "Data Requirements Not Applicable for the Seismic Review of LNG Facilities," NBSIR84-2833. (380.12 (h) (5)) (not an LNG project) 5. For underground storage facilities, how drilling activity by others within or adjacent Not Applicable to the facilities would be monitored, and how old wells would be located and (no underground storage monitored within the facility boundaries. (380.12 (h) (6)) proposed) 6. Identify any sensitive paleontological resource areas crossed by the proposed Section 6.5 facilities. (Usually only if raised in scoping or required by land-managing agency.) 7. Briefly summarize the physiography and bedrock geology of the project area Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 8. If application is for underground storage facilities: Not Applicable Describe monitoring of potential effects of the operation of adjacent storage or (no underground storage production facilities on the proposed facility, and vice versa; proposed) Describe measures taken to locate and determine the condition of old oil wells within the field and buffer zone and how the applicant would reduce risk from failure of known and undiscovered wells; and Identify and discuss safety and environmental safeguards required by state and Federal drilling requirements FERC Environmental Information Request for Resource Report 6 Dated March 13, 2015 Location in Resource Request Report 1. Include a discussion of the Saint Clair fault line. Indicate what impacts the fault may Section 6.4.1.3, have on the pipeline. Outline measures that would be implemented to avoid, p. 6-16; minimize, or mitigate impacts from this fault. Section 6.6.1.3, p.6-28 2. List, by MPs, areas along the pipeline route that have the potential for landslides. Section 6.4.3, p.6-22; Outline the measures Mountain Valley would implement to avoid, minimize impacts, Table 6.4-4, p. 6-24; or mitigate impacts ...
