[Docket No. CP97-330-000]
Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of Application
April 15, 1997.
Take notice that on April 9, 1997, Questar Pipeline Company
(Questar), 79 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, filed in
Docket No. CP97-330-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to, (1) Abandon by transfer
certain jurisdictional transmission pipeline, compression and related
facilities to Questar Gas Management Company (QGM), an affiliate of
Questar, and (2) abandon by removal one jurisdictional compressor and
one delivery/receipt point, all as more fully set forth in the
application on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Questar proposes to abandon by transfer to QGM facilities
consisting of, (1) Nine jurisdictional laterals and a portion of a
tenth, varying in length between 0.07 and 26.69 miles and in diameter
between 4.5 and 10.75 inches, (2) an 8.5-mile portion of 6-inch and 14-
inch Main Line No. 68, (3) the Dove Creek Compressor Station consisting
of an 818 hp reciprocating compressor, (4) an 800 hp reciprocating
compressor located at the Rabbit Mountain Compressor Station and (5)
miscellaneous related facilities, including the South Baxter Camp,
eight measuring and regulating stations, two sphere launchers, two
sphere receivers, three dehydration units, a slug catcher, a heater and
associated valves and station piping. The facilities proposed to be
transferred to QGM are located in 11 areas Wyoming and Colorado.
Questar states that the gross book value of the facilities as of
September 30, 1996 totaled $4,135,183 and that upon receipt of the
requested authorization, QGM will own and operate these facilities as
part of its existing nonjurisdictional gathering system.
In addition, Questar proposes to abandon by removal, (1) A 600 hp
reciprocating compressor located at its Rabbit Mountain Compressor
Station, thereby completing the abandonment of
[[Page 19319]]
the entire station, and (2) one delivery/receipt point located at the
eastern terminus of Main Line No. 68. Both facilities are located in
Colorado. Questar states that as of September 30, 1996 the gross book
value of facilities proposed to be abandoned by removal totaled
$420,279.
Questar states that the proposed transfer will not adversely affect
its ability to continue to provide jurisdictional open access
transportation and storage service to its transportation and storage
customers.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before May 6, 1997, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,
Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission
will be considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be
taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion to
intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are
required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave
to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such
hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Questar to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
