The City has already received an Environmental Assessment Report, which is being reviewed by Lois Rellergert, Environmental Regulatory October 3, 2006 -2- Item No. 25 Specialist for the City of Fort Collins. A copy of her review will be provided to Council prior to P Y First Reading. An Environmental Assessment filed in relation to a previous pipeline presently being constructed by Entrega Gas Pipeline, LLC, was reviewed by Karen Manci, Senior Environmental Planner, who found the Entrega project would likely have "... only minor, temporary impacts to wildlife and native vegetation communities of the Meadow Springs Ranch property." The Overland Pass pipeline will be constructed in the area that was the temporary construction easement of the Entrega pipeline. ATTACHMENTS 1. Location map of proposed pipeline. 2.
