Description
SWCA supported Enable Midstream Partners in the development of the Gulf Run Pipeline Project, a 134-mile-long, 42-inch-diameter interstate natural gas pipeline in Louisiana, along with modifications to an existing interstate pipeline in Texas and Louisiana, both regulated by FERC. SWCA managed and conducted all environmental permitting efforts, including preparation and submittal of the FERC 7(c) application, pre-filing coordination, resource report development, agency and Tribal outreach, and responding to FERC information requests and public comments.
SWCA led comprehensive natural and cultural resources surveys, including wetland and waterbody delineations, threatened and endangered species habitat surveys, archaeological and architectural history surveys, land use assessments, and air quality and noise modeling and permitting. The team supported all state and federal permitting efforts and agency consultations, ensuring regulatory compliance throughout the permitting-to-construction transition.
During construction, SWCA provided environmental inspection and compliance management, including permit condition tracking, Fulcrum reporting, variance processing, coordination with FERC and third-party monitors, and postconstruction restoration and monitoring of the ROW and other disturbed areas to ensure all regulatory obligations were met.
