M820B MP 9.8 Groundbed Install Project Northern Natural Gas (Northern) owns and operates natural gas transmission pipeline systems and associated appurtenances in the State of New Mexico. Northern is proposing the construction of a 400 foot deep well ground bed with diameter of 10 inches including installation of 100 foot cable as well as installation of 20 anodes along their existing 26-inch-diameter M820B natural gas pipeline. The M820B MP 9.8 Groundbed Install Project (Project) is located in Township 18 South, Range 38 East, Section 10 in Lea County, New Mexico. Project actions are proposed to start in June 2026, or upon issuance of all applicable permits, and last approximately 7 days. The Project is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under an automatic blanket. Northern proposes to utilize one irregular shaped temporary workspace (TWS) measuring (0.37 acres). Access to the Project area will be achieved using the existing M820B pipeline right-of-way from existing public roadways (West Hunter Street). Project actions may result in up to 0.37 acres of ground disturbance. Project area was reviewed for environmental concerns centered within an approximate 0.55-acre Environmental Clearance Boundary (ECB). Ground disturbing actions may include excavation, topsoil segregation, installation of new and ancillary equipment; backfill of excavated soil; minor restoration and grading back to pre-construction conditions; and seeding, as required. All ground surface areas will be returned to preconstruction conditions upon Project completion. Oil and Gas Pipeline, Proposed Action 2026-05-18 public_comment_letter_NMERT-5871.pdf
