    Take notice that on August 8, 2014, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C.

    Specifically, Tennessee proposes to plug and abandon Well 4789 and abandon by removal the related well head, a meter run, approximately 350 feet of 6-inch diameter lateral pipeline and riser. Tennessee states that it has made numerous attempts to clean and repair Well 4789, which have proved unsuccessful. Tennessee asserts that Well 4789 is inactive and, due to its mechanical condition, cannot be utilized as an injection and withdrawal well. Tennessee avers that the proposed abandonment of Well 4789 will not affect either the capacity or deliverability of the Hebron Storage Field and has not been used to provide service to any customer for more than 12 months. Tennessee estimates the cost of the proposed project to be $545,860.
