    Specifically, Texas Eastern proposes to replace an additional approximately 400-foot segment of its new 20-inch-diameter Line 1 pipeline. In Docket No. CP17-496-000, Texas Eastern was authorized to replace a 1,250-foot segment of its Line 1 pipeline beneath the Rahway River (Rahway River Pipeline Replacement Project), which was designed to ensure the continued safe operation of Texas Eastern's pipeline facilities. The Project described herein would increase the total length of pipeline to be replaced to approximately 1,650 feet. Texas Eastern states that the 400-foot additional segment is located entirely within a warehouse parking lot. Texas Eastern avers that the additional activities will not cause a significant change to the estimated total cost of the Rahway River Pipeline Replacement Project in Docket No. CP17-496-000, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission Start Printed Page 44618and open to public inspection.
