In cooperation with the City of Morgan City, Louisiana, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), has prepared a Tier 2 Environmental As- sessment (EA), as required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, for the proposed replacement of 11.9 miles of existing, undetectable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) natural gas mains with four-inch polyethylene (PE) coiled pipe. Additionally, the project proposes to replace associated service pipes with one-inch PE coiled pipe. Repairing the natural gas distribution system would also include the installation of four-inch PE ball valves (to allow for isolation of the system with minimal disruption to customers), necessary road bores, tracer wire pedestals, and as- sociated tie‐ins to the existing gas mains. Around 820 existing customer services would re- ceive new service taps, excess flow valves, and new anode less risers, meters and regulators (if necessary) as a part of the system repairs. PHMSA published a Tier 1 Nationwide EA for the Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization Grant Program (NGDISM) on November 9, 2022. The stated purpose of NGDISM is for municipality or community owned utilities to repair, rehabilitate, or replace its natural gas distribution pipeline system or portions thereof or to acquire equipment to (1) reduce incidents and fatalities and (2) avoid economic losses by providing grant opportunities to municipality or community owned utilities. The Tier 1 EA is available at https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/sites/phmsa.dot.gov/files/2023-07/Tier-1-PHMSA.... The Tier 2 EA is available for review and comment on the web at https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/about-phmsa/working-phmsa/grants/pipeline/tier... and a copy is available at City Hall, 512 First Street, Morgan City, LA 70380. Please submit all comments to: PHMSABILGrantNEPAComments@dot.gov and reference NGDISM-FY22-EA-2023-34 in your response. Pursuant to the National Historic Preservation Act, PHMSA has issued a No Historic Properties Affected finding which is available for re- view in the Tier 2 EA. Comments on the Tier 2 EA are due by May 20, 2024.
