[Docket No. CP96-53-000]
NE Hub Partners, L.P.; Notice of Technical Conference
July 3, 1996.
Take notice that a technical conference will be convened in the
above-docketed proceedings on Thursday, August 1, 1996, at 10:00 a.m.,
in a room to be designated at the offices of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
The purpose of the technical conference is to allow the project
proponent, intervenors, and other interested parties to ascertain
whether the above-docketed project will serve the public interest. The
proponent of this project and all parties interested in the project
should attend and be prepared to answer questions relating to the
engineering, safety, and environmental impact of the project.
Specifically, all of the parties should be prepared to discuss the
following:
Will drilling through the Tioga Gas Storage Pool located
in the Oriskany Sandstone damage CNG's and Penn Fuel's Tioga Storage
Complex?
Will leaching natural gas storage salt caverns in the
Salina salt layer under the existing Tioga Gas Storage Complex damage
CNG's and Penn Fuel's storage complex?
Will fracturing and failure in the sediments underlying
the Tioga reservoir, around the cavern wells, cause gas migration
between the storage caverns and the Oriskany, loss of producing wells
in the Oriskany, and catastrophic loss of existing storage reservoirs?
Will disposal of brine produced by solution mining the
salt caverns into the Oriskany Sandstone and other formations adjacent
to the Tioga Gas Storage Complex at pressures greater than the fracture
gradient result in significant impact to the Tioga Storage Complex and
fresh water supplies due to brine encroachment?
Any party, as defined in 18 CFR 385.214, and any participant, as
defined in 18 CFR 385.102(b), in the above-docketed proceedings are
invited to participate in the technical conference. Topics other than
those listed above will only be considered if directly relevant to the
subject issues. For additional information, please contact Whit Holden,
(202) 208-1118 or James New, (202) 208-2162, at the Commission.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
