[Docket No. CP97-284-000]
Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
March 19, 1997.
Take notice that on March 11, 1997, Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West
Virginia 25314, filed in Docket No. CP97-284-000 a request pursuant to
Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to
construct and operate additional points of delivery for firm
transportation service to existing customers, under Columbia's blanket
certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000 pursuant to Section 7 of
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Columbia proposes to construct and operate the facilities needed to
establish thirteen additional delivery points. The customers and
counties involved are: Columbia Gas of Kentucky, Inc. (CKY) (Martin and
Clark Counties, Kentucky); Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc. (COH) (Ottawa,
Medina and Carroll Counties, Ohio); Mountaineer Gas Company (MGC)
(Boone, Marshall, Barbour, Gilmer, Wayne, Wyoming and Tucker Counties,
West Virginia), and The Waterville Gas Company (WGC) (Wood County,
Ohio).
Each new delivery point's interconnecting facility will vary
according to area conditions; but, in most cases, the following will be
installed: a 4-inch by 1-inch tap saddle (depending on pipeline size),
a 1-inch valve, nipple, and less than 20 feet of pipe on Columbia's
existing right-of-way. CKY, COH, MGC and WGC will set the meter and
regulator for each location. The estimated natural gas quantities are:
10,851 Dth/day and 4,398,250 Dth/annual for CKY; 4.5 Dth/day and 450
Dth/annual for COH; 13.5 Dth/day and 1,650 Dth/annual for MGC, and 1.8
Dth/day and 200 Dth/annual for WGC.
Columbia states that the new delivery points are not prohibited by
its existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish
deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to other customers. The
proposed delivery points will not have an effect on Columbia's peak day
and annual deliveries and the total volumes delivered will not exceed
total volumes authorized prior to this request.
Columbia estimates the new tap installation costs to be
approximately $150 each and will be treated as an O&M expense, except
for the Martin County, Kentucky project which is an existing tap and
will require no additional cost.
Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention 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 activity 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 within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for
[[Page 14131]]
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
