In May 2022, the company, East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC (East Tennessee) initiated a “Pre-Filing” docket. From that time until July 2023, the Company contacted landowners, regulators, and affected parties to discuss potential concerns.
On July 18, 2023, East Tennessee then filed an application under Sections 7(c), of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part 157 of the Commission’s regulations requesting authorization to provide 300,000 dekatherms per day of new firm natural gas transportation capacity and up to 95,000 dekatherms of Customized Delivery Service to the (TVA) Tennessee Valley Authority by construct, modify, install, own, and operate the following facilities of Ridgeline Expansion Project (Project). The Project is located in Trousdale, Smith, Jackson, Putnam, Overton, Fentress, Morgan, Roane, counties, Tennessee.
On July 28, 2023 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a “Notice of Application” which established an intervention deadline of August 18, 2023. The July 28 Notice inadvertently omitted posting to Docket No. PF 22-7-000. On August 8, 2023 FERC issued an “Errata Notice” to correct the docket numbers.
