[Docket No. CP99-20-000]
Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of
Application
October 23, 1998.
Take notice that on October 15, 1998, Williston Basin Interstate
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300,
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP99-20-000 an
application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for
permission and approval to abandon four farm taps in Washakie County,
Wyoming, all as more fully set forth in the application on file with
the Commission and open to public inspection.
Specifically, Williston Basin proposes to abandon the following
farm taps:
Busch farm tap at Station No. 283+34 located on the Slick
Creek transmission line in SW\1/4\ Section 9, T47N, R92W, Washakie
County, Wyoming;
Wagon Wheel farm tap at Station No. 401+65 located on the
Slick Creek transmission line in NE\1/4\ Section 28, T47N, R92W,
Washakie County, Wyoming;
McKamey farm tap at Station No. 4802+82 located on the
Madden-Worland transmission line in NE\1/4\ Section 27, T47N, R92W,
Washakie County, Wyoming; and,
Hiland farm tap at Station No. 4818+47 located on the
Madden-Worland transmission line in SE\1/4\ Section 22, T47N, R92W,
Washakie County, Wyoming.
Williston Basin states that Wyoming Gas Company, a local
distribution company, now serves the customers previously served by
these farm taps through its distribution system and did not express
opposition to the proposed abandonments.
Williston Basin states that project activity at each site will
entail the excavation of the site within the existing, previously
disturbed pipeline right-of-way, and will include capping of the tap
riser at the mainline connection. Williston Basin further states the
riser, surface piping and pipe fence, if present, will be removed and
the excavation backfilled to natural contours and reseeded.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before November 13, 1998,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street,
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission
will be considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be
taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion to
intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are
required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave
to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such
hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Williston Basin to appear or be represented
at the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
