[Docket No. CP96-227-001]
Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Petition To Amend
April 25, 1996.
Take notice that on April 18, 1996, Northwest Pipeline Corporation
(Northwest), P.O. Box 58900, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84158-0900, filed in
Docket No. CP96-227-001 a request for approval to amend its
authorization issued in Docket No. CP96-227-000 to substitute a rotary
meter for the authorized turbine meter at the Finley Meter Station, in
Benton County, Washington, under the blanket certificate issued in
Docket No. CP82-479-000, 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 originally proposed to modify the Finley Station by
removing the existing 2-inch positive displacement meter and the
existing 3-inch turbine meter and installing a single 2-inch turbine
meter as a replacement, which Northwest indicates would decrease the
maximum daily delivery capacity of the meter station from 1,597 Dth per
day to approximately 1,310 Dth per day at 300 psig.
Northwest now proposes to install a single 2-inch rotary meter as a
replacement instead of the single 2-inch meter as originally proposed.
Northwest indicates that the reason for this change is the mechanical
problems it is experiencing with 2-inch turbine meters. It is further
indicated that as a result of this change, the maximum design capacity
of the meter station will decrease form 1,597 Dth per day to
approximately 1,281 Dth per day at 300 psig.
Northwest further states that some minor surface disturbing
activities will occur within the existing station site, but following
construction all disturbed areas will be restored to their original
conditions. Northwest had previously stated in its original application
that the proposed facility replacements would not involve any surface
disturbing activities. It is indicated that all other pertinent
information, including estimated costs of the project, remain accurate
as previously filed.
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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
