EDWARDS, Senior Circuit Judge:
This case involves three federal statutes: the Natural Gas Act (“NGA”), 15 U.S.C. § 717, et seq.; the Clean Water Act (“CWA”), formally titled the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, 33 U.S.C. § 1251, et seq.; and the National Environmental Policy. Act (“NEPA”), 42 U.S.C. § 4321, et seq. Although the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or “Commission”) administers only the NGA, all three statutes apply to the disputed actions taken by the Commission in this case.
