2010-5004. Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization

March 2, 2010.

Take notice that on February 22, 2010, Questar Pipeline Company (Questar), 180 East 100 South, P.O. Box 45360, Salt Lake City, Utah 84145, filed in Docket No. CP10-71-000, an application, pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.210 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, to reconfigure its facilities at the existing Fidlar compressor station in Uintah County, Utah, and uprate the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) on Questar's Mainline 68 in Uintah County, Utah, and Rio Blanco County, Colorado, under Questar's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-491-000,^[1] all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to the public for inspection.

Questar proposes to reconfigure its facilities at the existing Fidlar compressor station (Fidlar), located at the junction of Questar's existing Main Line (ML) 103, 80, and 40 in Uintah County, Utah, and uprate Questar's ML 68 to a MAOP of 1290 psig via gas-pressure testing. Questar states that the proposed changes would result in an incremental capacity increase of approximately 25,000 Dekatherms per day and enable a dual-stage operating mode to provide greater flexibility and increased efficiencies at Fidlar. Questar further states that the proposed reconfigurations would facilitate west-to-east deliveries of natural gas volumes to Questar's affiliate, White River Hub, LLC. Questar states that its proposed reconfigurations would cost an estimated $2,736,538.
