certain changes to well requirements are needed to provide for the 
continued development of the storage field so that service can be 
provided at the certificated levels. In Phase I of the proposal, Young

and one water injection well. Young also proposes, in Phase II of the 
amendment, to drill and connect up to four injection/withdrawal wells 
in 1996.

appurtenant facilities located in the NE\1/4\SE\1/4\ Section 18, T2N,

Montana-Dakota no longer has any use for these facilities because 
Montana-Dakota is serving EAFB housing by a different meter station. 
Williston Basin asserts that the subject meter station is essential to 
its operations because it uses the building, regulator, relief valves, 
and station piping to serve the Villa Ranchaero subdivision.

inch side valve assembly located in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania 
(Uniondale Meter Station) under Tennessee's blanket certificate issued 
in Docket No. CP82-413-000, pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas 
Act, all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the

    Tennessee proposes to expand the Uniondale Meter Station delivery 
point, requested by PG&W, by replacing approximately 60 feet of 4-inch 
interconnecting pipe with 12-inch pipe between Tennessee's 24 inch 300-
1 mainline and its existing meter tube, and approximately 100 feet of 
6-inch interconnecting pipe with 12-inch pipe between the existing 
meter tube and the interconnect with PG&W. Additionally, Tennessee 
proposes to replace the existing 6-inch side valve assembly on 
Tennessee's mainline with a 12-inch side valve assembly and install an 
additional 8-inch orifice meter tube, parallel to the existing meter 
tube. Tennessee states that Tennessee would install, operate and 
maintain the replacement facilities.
    Tennessee states that, because it is not proposing to increase the 
maximum contract quantity of PG&W, the addition of this delivery point 
would have no impact on Tennessee's peak day deliveries or annual 
deliveries, and is not prohibited by Tennessee's tariff. Tennessee has 
sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries at this delivery point 
without detriment or disadvantage to Tennessee's other customers.
