[Docket No. CP99-96-000]
CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application
December 9, 1998.
Take notice that on December 2, 1998, CNG Transmission Corporation
(CNG), 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, filed in
Docket No. CP99-96-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations, for
a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing CNG to
construct, abandon, and operate certain facilities at CNG's North
Summit Storage Complex facility in Fayette County, Pennsylvania in
order to facilitate the recovery of injected gas that has migrated to
an undeveloped portion in the southern end of the North Summit Storage
Pool, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Specifically, CNG proposes to: (1) Convert existing observation
well, UW-204, to a storage well; (2) convert existing observation well,
UW-207, to a storage well; (3) abandon 1,959 feet of 6-inch diameter
pipeline and construct 1,959 feet of 8-inch diameter pipeline, Line No.
UP-1; (4) install Line No. UP-24 consisting of 12,552 feet of 8-inch
diameter pipeline with appurtenant facilities and; (5) install Line No.
UP-25 consisting of 3,554 feet of 8-inch diameter pipeline with
appurtenant facilities. CNG estimates that the proposed facilities will
cost $2,000,000.
CNG states that the proposed facilities will allow CNG to operate
the North Summit Storage Complex more effectively and efficiently. More
specifically, CNG states that the operation of UW-204 and UW-207 as
[[Page 69065]]
storage wells will allow for more turn of inventory each winter season,
allowing for more effective pool operation.
Any person desiring to be heard or making any protest with
reference to said application should on or before December 30, 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
NGA (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. The
Commission's rules require that protestors provide copies of their
protests to the party or person to whom the protests are directed. 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.
A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive
copies of all documents issued by the Commission, filed by the
applicant, or filed by all other intervenors. An intervenor can file
for rehearing of any Commission order and can petition for court review
of any such order. However, an intervenor must serve copies of comments
or any other filing it makes with the Commission to every other
intervenor in the proceeding, as well as filing an original and 14
copies with the Commission.
A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of such
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of
environmental documents, and will be able to participate in meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission, and will
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final
order to a Federal court.
The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally,
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Commission by
Sections 7 and 15 of the NGA 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 a grant of the certificate
is 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 CNG to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
