2012-5231. Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization

Take notice that on February 17, 2012, Dominion Transmission, Inc. (Dominion), 701 East Cary Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219 filed in Docket No. CP12-71-000, a prior notice request pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Dominion seeks authorization to abandon by removal its XS-3029 Measurement and Regulation Station (XS-3029) in Marshall County, West Virginia. Dominion proposes to perform these activities under its blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-537-000 [21 FERC ¶ 62,172 (1982)], all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.

In 2011, the West Virginia Division of Highways consulted with Dominion regarding a road widening project on State Route 2 in the vicinity of XS-3029. Dominion determined that XS-3029 is within the proposed area designated to be excavated for the project. Dominion states that the facility has not been used to provide any transportation in the previous one-year period and Dominion seeks to abandon the facility by removal in advance of the project.
