FERC Staff Final EIS Covers 110.9-Mile Kosciusko Junction Pipeline

The Bottom Line (Natural Gas Infrastructure)

FERC staff issued the final EIS for a proposed project that includes 110.9 miles of new pipeline facilities across nine Mississippi counties, transfer of about 98 miles of existing lateral facilities, new compressor and meter stations, and a requested April 28, 2028 service date. This is an environmental-review milestone—not Commission certificate approval, construction authorization, operating capacity, or a guaranteed basis or delivered-rate outcome.

What FERC Staff Reviewed

The Kosciusko Junction Pipeline Project appears in Dockets CP25-547-000 and CP25-549-000. FERC's July 24 notice identifies Gulf South Pipeline Company and Texas Gas Transmission, both Boardwalk subsidiaries, as the project applicants.

Texas Gas proposes to sell and Gulf South proposes to acquire about 98 miles of the existing Greenville Lateral and associated facilities. Gulf South also proposes 110.9 miles of new pipeline facilities, including a new 36-inch-diameter line and a roughly 700-foot 20-inch lateral, plus two new compressor stations, modification of the Isola Compressor Station, and four new meter stations.

Nine-County Mississippi Footprint

FERC identifies proposed facilities in Washington, Sunflower, Humphreys, Holmes, Attala, Leake, Newton, Jasper, and Clarke counties. Staff found that most adverse environmental effects would be temporary or short term, while some forest and wetland effects would be long term. With recommended mitigation, staff said effects would be less than significant except that climate-change impacts could not be characterized as significant or insignificant.

Those are staff environmental findings. FERC Commissioners will consider the EIS and staff recommendations when deciding the applications; the July 24 notice is not the Commission's certificate decision.

What To Watch Next

  • Commission order: watch for certificate approval, denial, or project conditions in both dockets.
  • Applicant schedule: proposed December 2026 construction and April 28, 2028 service dates remain contingent on approvals and execution.
  • Tariff and capacity evidence: connect any future service to pipeline rates, nominations, interconnections, and the account delivery point.
  • Construction and in-service filings: keep environmental review, certificate authority, construction, and operation as separate page states.
