Northern Border Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
September 11, 1996.
Take notice that on September 6, 1996, Northern Border Pipeline
Company (Northern Border), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska
68124-1000, filed in Docket No. CP96-772-000 a request pursuant to
Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to operate
an existing valve setting as a delivery point (Windom Delivery Point)
to Northwest Gas of Cottonwood County, LLC. (Northwest Gas) in
Cottonwood County, Minnesota, under Northern Border's blanket
certificate issued in Docket No. CP84-420-000 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.
Northern Border proposes to operate an existing 4-inch tee and side
valve at Valve Site No. 48 as the Windom Delivery Point to Northwest
Gas. Northern Border states that it will deliver up to 10,000 Mcf on a
peak day and an estimated 1.1 Bcf annually to Northwest Gas at the
proposed Windom Delivery Point.
Northern Border states that Northwest Gas will construct and own
measurement facilities at the proposed Windom Delivery Point. In
addition, Northern Border stats that Northwest Gas will transport the
gas volumes received at the Windom Delivery Point through a 3.2-mile-
long 4-inch-diameter pipeline it plans to construct to a point of
interconnection with Ethanol 2000, LLP (Ethanol 2000) and to a point of
interconnection with Peoples Natural Gas Company (Peoples).
Northern Border states that Ethanol 2000 will use its natural gas
volumes for heating, plant protection and ultimately to process corn
into ethanol, and that Peoples will use its natural gas volumes to
serve the town of Windom, Minnesota.
Northern Border states that there will not be any impact on the
peak day capability of its existing shippers as a result of the
proposed interconnect and any impact on annual deliveries will be de
minimis. Northern Border further states that the proposed change is not
prohibited by its existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity
in its system to accomplish delivery of gas to the proposed delivery
point without detriment or disadvantage to any other customer.
Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention 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 activity 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 within 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
