[Docket No. CP95-566-000, et al.]
Northwest Pipeline Corp., et al.; Natural Gas Certificate Filings
June 22, 1995.
Take notice that the following filings have been made with the
Commission:
1. Northwest Pipeline Corporation
[Docket No. CP95-566-000]
Take notice that on June 15, 1995, Northwest Pipeline Corporation
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, filed in
Docket No. CP95-566-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205,
157.211, and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211, and 157.216) for authorization to
replace certain obsolete and undersized facilities at its Lewiston East
Meter Station in Nez Perce County, Idaho in order to better accommodate
its existing firm maximum daily delivery obligations (MDDO) to the
Washington Water Power Company (Washington Power), under Northwest's
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-433-000 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.
Northwest states that it presently has firm obligations to deliver
up to a total of 11,000 Dt per day (at 150 psig) under Rate Schedules
TF-1 and TF-2, to Washington Power at the Lewiston East delivery point.
Northwest further states that the Lewiston East Meter Station has a
maximum design delivery capacity of approximately 7,300 Dt per day (at
150 psig). Since the maximum design capacity of the Lewiston East Meter
Station is less then Northwest's firm delivery obligation to Washington
Power, Northwest is proposing to upgrade the Lewiston East Meter
Station by replacing the two existing undersized 4-inch orifice meters
with two 6-inch turbine meters. Northwest states that it also plans to
install related auxiliary facilities, including a new 750,000 Btu
heater, electronic flow measurement equipment and a relocated meter
building. It is stated that the proposed facility upgrade will increase
the maximum design delivery capacity of the Lewiston East Meter Station
from 7,300 Dt per day to approximately 13,367 Dt per day at a delivery
pressure of 150 psig. However, it is further averred that the maximum
design delivery capacity of the meter station, as limited by the
existing regulators, will increase from 7,300 Dt to 12,500 Dt per day
at 150 psig.
Northwest has estimated the cost of the proposed facility upgrade
at the Lewiston East Meter Station to be approximately $292,352 which
includes the cost of removing the old facilities. Northwest avers that
since this expenditure is necessary in order for Northwest to better
accommodate existing MDDO's at the Lewiston East Meter Station,
Northwest will not require any cost reimbursement from Washington
Power.
Comment date: August 7, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph
G at the end of this notice.
2. Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company
[Docket No. CP95-572-000]
Take notice that on June 20, 1995, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company
(Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed in Docket No.
CP95-572-000 a request pursuant to Sections 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 add a new deliver point in Barren County,
Kentucky, to serve Natural Gas of Kentucky, an existing customer, under
Tennessee's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-413-000,
pursuant to Section 7(c) 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.
Tennessee states that Natural Gas of Kentucky has requested that
Tennessee provide for a delivery point on its system in Barren County,
Kentucky which would permit Natural Gas of Kentucky to move up to 2,000
dekatherms per day of natural gas under an existing IT (interruptible)
contract held by Tenneco Gas Marketing Company. In order to effectuate
the delivery, Tennessee proposes to construct and operate a new 2-inch
hot tap assembly on an existing right-of-way located at Tennessee's
M.P. 92-4+5.9 in Barren County, Kentucky. Tennessee estimates the cost
of establishing this delivery point to be approximately $10,837, which
cost will be reimbursed by Natural Gas of Kentucky. Tennessee further
states that Natural Gas of Kentucky will install, own, operate, and
maintain approximately 40-feet of 2-inch interconnecting pipe on
Tennessee's right-of-way and install,
[[Page 33799]]
own, and maintain a meter at the site to be operated Tennessee.
Additionally, Tennessee states that it is currently anticipated
that only interruptible quantities of gas will be delivered at this
delivery point and thus the construction of this delivery point will
not impact Tennessee's peak day and/or annual deliveries.
Comment date: August 7, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph
G at the end of this notice.
3. Northwest Pipeline Corporation
[Docket No. CP95-571-000]
Take notice that on June 19, 1995, Northwest Pipeline Corporation
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, filed in

and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.216, 157.211) for authorization to abandon certain
obsolete and undersized facilities at the Pasco Meter Station in
Franklin County, Washington and to construct and operate upgraded
replacement facilities at this station to accommodate its existing firm
maximum daily delivery obligations to Cascade Natural Gas Corporation

Docket No. CP82-433-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act,

Northwest proposes to upgrade the Pasco Meter Station by replacing
one existing 2-inch regulator with a new 1-inch regulator and one
existing 4-inch orifice meter with a new 4-inch turbine meter and
appurtenances. These facility replacements will increase the design
capacity of the Pasco Meter Station from 2,377 Dth per day to
approximately 4,433 Dth per day at 150 psig. Northwest states that it
presently has firm maximum daily delivery obligations to deliver up to
4,350 Dth per day, at a pressure of 150 psig, to Cascade Natural at the
Pasco delivery point under Rate Schedules TF-1 and TF-2. Northwest
further states that total cost of the proposed facility replacements at
the Pasco Meter Station is estimated to be $89,570.
