LEGAL NOTICE East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Docket No. CP23-516-000 Notice is hereby given that on July 18, 2023, East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC (ETNG) submitted to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) an Abbreviated Application for Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity and Related Authorizations for its proposed Ridgeline Expansion Project in FERC Docket No. CP23-516-000 (Application). ETNG proposes to construct, install, own, operate and maintain the Ridgeline Expansion Project (Ridgeline), an expansion of Enbridge’s existing ETNG system. Ridgeline is designed to provide transportation of natural gas to Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) Kingston Fossil Plant Site as the utility continues to transition to a lower-carbon future while providing affordable energy to homes and businesses. Specifically, ETNG proposes to perform the following activities: • Construction and installation of approximately 114 miles of 30-inch diameter pipeline through Trousdale, Smith, Jackson, Putnam, Overton, Fentress, and Morgan Counties, Tennessee; • Construction and installation of an approximately 8 miles of 24-inch diameter lateral pipeline in Morgan and Roane Counties, Tennessee with connection to TVA’s Kingston Fossil Plant Site; and • Construction of one electric-powered compressor station (coupled with natural gas turbines as backup to the electric- powered compressor station) with solar-power offsets in Trousdale County, Tennessee. The majority of the proposed route for Ridgeline will be located within the existing ETNG system’s right-of-way, where possible, to minimize impacts to landowners and the environment. The compressor station will be built south of Hartsville, Tennessee near Enbridge’s existing Texas Eastern Transmission, LP and ETNG pipeline systems. Pending a positive final investment decision and the approval and receipt of all necessary permits, construction would begin in 2025 with a target in-service date of Fall 2026. Notice of the Application will be mailed to affected landowners, and municipal, state and federal governments and agencies involved in the Ridgeline project. A copy of the application and related resource reports are on file in the following public libraries and/or municipal and county offices: ETNG Ridgeline Library List–Trousdale County, Fred A.
