The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is preparing an environmental report to assess the impact of the proposed Cedar Vale Compressor Station Project in Osage County, Oklahoma, by Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. This notice marks the start of a public scoping process, inviting comments to identify important environmental concerns, which will guide the analysis in the environmental document. The project will increase natural gas delivery capacity and involves constructing a new compressor station. Landowners might be approached for easements, though they are not required to agree, and compensation disputes, if any, would be handled in court. Public comments on the scope of the environmental impacts are due by February 6, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The government is checking how a new gas station building in Oklahoma might affect the environment, and they want people to share their thoughts and concerns before February 6, 2025. If the gas company needs to use people's land, there might be talks in court if they can't agree on what to pay.
