Specifically, Trunkline proposes to relocate the Enbridge Pipeline (East Texas) L.P. Meter Station from its current location at Trunkline's existing Kountze Compressor Station, located in Kountze, Hardin County, Texas, to a new location near Silsbee, Hardin County, Texas. Trunkline states that the relocation will increase the certificated capacity of Trunkline's North Texas transmission system expansion facilities by 40 MMcf/d. Trunkline asserts that the increase in capacity will benefit Trunkline's shippers. Trunkline declares that it will be able to receive, and, at the same time, Enbridge will be able to increase the volumes of natural gas being delivered to Trunkline for further transportation to natural gas markets. Trunkline proposes to relocate the Enbridge facilities located at the Kountze Compressor Station approximately 15 miles east and install and own two 12-inch hot tap assemblies on existing 24-inch Lines 100-1 and 100-2, and install a 16-inch above-grade valve that will function as the overpressure protection device and RTU. Trunkline estimates the cost to relocate the meter station to be $983,040.
