Act to construct, operate, and abandon
certain natural gas pipeline facilities.
The proposed project is known as the
Ogden To Ventura A-Line
Abandonment and Capacity
Replacement Project (Project). Northern
proposes to abandon in-place two
segments of its A-line system, totaling
82.7 miles, in Boone, Webster, Wright,
and Hancock Counties, Iowa and
replace the abandoned capacity by
extending the D-line in Wright County,
Iowa. Northern states the Project would
not result in a loss of service to its
customers and would have no impact on
Northern’s ability to serve markets on its
system.
On February 4, 2022, 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
document for the Project.
This notice identifies Commission
staff’s intention to prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Project and the planned schedule for the
completion of the environmental
review.1

Project Description
Northern proposes to abandon inplace 82.7 miles of 20-inch-diameter
pipeline and appurtenances on its
IAM60601 A-line system (referred to as
the A-Line) from Ogden to Ventura,
Iowa. Ground disturbances would be
required at three locations to expose and
to cut and cap the pipeline prior to
abandonment. Additionally, Northern
proposes to install temporary
compression at three mainline valve
locations to allow for the evacuation of
