[Docket No. CP96-227-000]
Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
March 8, 1996.
Take notice that on March 4, 1996, Northwest Pipeline Gas
Corporation (Northwest), P.O. Box 58900, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84158-
0900, filed in Docket No. CP96-227-000 a request pursuant to Section
157.205, 157.216, and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.216 and 157.211) for approval to
abandon certain obsolete facilities at the Finley Meter Station in
Benton County, Washington, and to construct and operate modified
replacement facilities at this station to more efficiently accommodate
existing firm maximum daily delivery obligations (MDDO) at this
delivery point to Cascade Natural Gas Corporation (Cascade), under
Northwest's blanket certificate authority issued in Docket No. CP82-
433-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as
more fully set forth in the request which is on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection.
Northwest proposes to modify an existing meter station located in
Benton County, Washington, by replacing the existing 2-inch positive
displacement meter and the existing 3-inch turbine meter with a single
2-inch turbine meter. It is indicated that as a result of these
modifications, the maximum design capacity of the meter station will
decrease from 1,597 Dth per day from Northwest's Hedges Lateral to
approximately 1,310 Dth per day at 300 psig. It is further indicated
that the modified station will still be adequate to accommodate
historically experienced flow rates as well as the existing MDDO's at
this delivery point.
Northwest states that the estimated total cost of the proposed
facility replacements is approximately $28,628 and that Northwest will
not require any cost reimbursement from Cascade.
Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR
385.214), a motion to intervene and pursuant to Section 157.205 of the
regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor,
the proposed activities shall be deemed to be authorized effective the
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed
and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest,
the instant request shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
