Aspects

Environmental Aspects are related to:

–Water

–Soil

–Air

–Habitat

Page 9: Environmental Aspects of Natural Gas Mid-stream Operations (an overview)

Water

• Effluent Quality and Quantity

• Thermal Conditions

• Water Use

Page 10: Environmental Aspects of Natural Gas Mid-stream Operations (an overview)

Soil

• Maintaining Soil Structure and Quality

• Avoiding Contamination

• Reclamation

Page 11: Environmental Aspects of Natural Gas Mid-stream Operations (an overview)

Air

• Acid Rain• Ground Level Ozone/Smog• Stratospheric Ozone

Depletion• Toxics• Particulates• Noise• Greenhouse Gases

Page 12: Environmental Aspects of Natural Gas Mid-stream Operations (an overview)

Habitat

• Planning and development of projects (pipelines, facilities)

• Protecting sensitive habitat, avoiding sensitive time periods
