2. Columbia Gas Transmission Corp.
[Docket No. CP94-320-000]
Take notice that on March 31, 1994, Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, SE., Charleston, West
Virginia 25314, filed in Docket No. CP94-320-000, an application
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for a certificate of
public convenience and necessity authorizing the construction and
operation of certain storage pipeline facilities, all as more fully set

to public inspection.
Columbia states that to ensure reliable operation of its pipeline
facilities, Columbia has initiated a program to install pig launching
and receiving facilities in segments of its existing storage fields.
Columbia further states that installing these facilities would result
in the need to replace short segments of pipeline to provide for a
uniform pipe size between launchers and receivers.
Columbia states that as a part of this program, Columbia proposes
to construct and operate about 3.2 miles of 10-, 12-, and 16-inch
pipeline to replace about 3.2 miles of 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-inch
pipeline on its Lines SL-2149, SL-2482 and SL-2158 located in the
Weaver Storage Field in Richland and Ashland Counties, Ohio. Columbia
states that the estimated construction cost of these facilities is
$1,803,400.
Columbia states that it would also construct and operate three
bidirectional launcher and receiver units and various appurtenant
facilities. Columbia states that these facilities would be constructed
under Sec. 2.55(a) of the Commission's Regulations at an estimated cost
of $1,127,000.

3. Williams Natural Gas Company
[Docket No. CP94-338-000]
Take notice that on April 6, 1994, Williams Natural Gas Company
(WNG), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket No. CP94-
338-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.212 of the
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and
157.212) for authorization to install a tap, measuring, regulating and
appurtenant facilities to deliver transportation gas to Mercado Gas
Services (Mercado) in Texas County, Oklahoma, under WGN's blanket
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000 pursuant to Section 7 of
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request which
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Specifically, WNG seeks authorization to install a 2-inch tap on
the Guymon-Blackwell 26-inch pipeline and construct measuring,
regulating and appurtenant facilities in the Northwest Quarter (NW/4)
of Section 28, Township 5 North, Range 16 ECM, Texas County, Oklahoma.
WNG says that the gas delivered by WNG to Mercado would be used in
a hog processing plant. WNG states that the annual volume delivered is
estimated to be approximately 31,400 Dth the first year and would
remain constant over the next five years. WNG submits that the peak day
volume is estimated to be 400 Dth and would also remain constant for
five years. WNG states that the total volume to be delivered to Mercado
would not exceed the total volume authorized prior to this request. WNG
further states that this change is not prohibited by an existing tariff
and it has sufficient capacity to accomplish the deliveries specified
without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers. WNG says that
the estimated cost of construction is $19,790, which would be
reimbursed by Mercado. WNG indicates that Mercado would also reimburse
WNG for associated income taxes.
