Northwest Pipeline Corporation, et al.; Natural Gas Certificate 
Filings

May 26, 1995.
    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Northwest Pipeline Corporation

[Docket No. CP95-509-000]

    Take notice that on May 23, 1995, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, filed in 
Docket No. CP95-509-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.216 
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 
facilities at the Moses Lake Meter Station in Grant County, Washington 
and to construct and operate replacement facilities at this station to 
provide existing delivery obligations at this point to Cascade Natural 
Gas Corporation (Cascade) 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 proposes to modify the Moses Lake Meter Station, 
originally certificated in Docket No. G-8934, by replacing the two 
existing 4-inch orifice meters with two new 6-inch turbine meters and 
appurtenances to accommodate wide flow rate fluctuations. Northwest 
also proposes to install a new 750,000 Btu heater and electronic flow 
measurement equipment. Northwest states that the proposed modifications 
will not affect [[Page 30081]] the design capacity of the meter station 
which is limited by existing regulators to 9,300 Dth per day at 300 
psig.
    Northwest estimates the total cost of the proposed facility 
modification at the Moses Lake Meter Station to be approximately 
$312,350, including the cost of removing the old facilities. Northwest 
states that it will not require any cost reimbursement from Cascade.
    Comment date: July 10, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
G at the end of this notice.

2. Northwest Pipeline Corporation

[Docket No. CP95-510-000]

    Take notice that on May 23, 1995, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108, filed in 
Docket No. CP95-510-000 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 Winlock Meter 
Station in Lewis County, Washington, in order to better accommodate its 
existing firm maximum daily delivery obligations (MDDO) to Washington 
Natural Gas Company (Washington Natural), 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 400 Dt per day (at 400 psig) under Rate Schedule TF-1, 
to Washington Natural at the Winlock delivery point. Northwest further 
states that the Winlock Meter Station has a maximum design delivery 
capacity of approximately 280 Dt per day (at 400 psig). Since the 
maximum design capacity of the Winlock Meter Station is less then 
Northwest's firm delivery obligation to Washington Natural, Northwest 
is proposing to upgrade the Winlock Meter Station by replacing the two 
existing undersized 1-inch regulators with two new 1-inch regulators, 
with 1/4-inch trim; and by replacing the obsolete 2-inch positive 
displacement meter with one new 2-inch turbine meter and one new 2-inch 
Roots meter and appurtenances. Northwest states that it is installing 
two replacement meters in order to more accurately measure the high and 
low flows through the meter station. It is stated that the proposed 
facility upgrade will increase the maximum design delivery capacity of 
the Winlock Meter Station from 280 Dt per day to approximately 425 Dt 
per day at a pressure of 400 psig.
    Northwest has estimated the cost of the proposed facility upgrade 
at the Winlock Meter Station to be approximately $59,446 which includes 
the cost of removing the old facilities. Northwest avers that since 
this expenditure is necessary in order for Northwest to accommodate 
existing MDDO's at the Winlock Meter Station, Northwest will not 
require any cost reimbursement from Washington Natural.
    Comment date: July 10, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
G at the end of this notice.
