Filings
September 1, 1995.
Take notice that the following filings have been made with the
Commission:
1. Southern Natural Gas Company
[Docket No. CP95-709-000]
Take notice that on August 25, 1995, Southern Natural Gas Company
(Southern), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, filed in
Docket No. CP95-709-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205,
157.212, and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212, and 157.216) for authorization to
relocate certain delivery point facilities which serve Dalton Utilities
(Dalton). Southern makes such request, under its blanket certificate
issued in Docket No. CP82-406-000, all as more fully set forth in the
request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Specifically, Southern proposes to abandon two four-inch meter
runs, a heater and some regulating equipment at its existing Dalton No.
2 Delivery Point which is currently located on Southern's 12-inch
Chattanooga Branch Lines in Whitfield County, Georgia. Southern also
proposes to construct and operate a dual 4-inch orifice meter, heater,
regulators, and other appurtenant facilities in order to provide
transportation service to Dalton No. 2, at the relocation cite. It is
stated that Southern proposes to relocate the facilities to a site on
its 12-inch Chattanooga Branch Lines in Whitfield County, Georgia. The
estimated cost of the relocation of the delivery facilities is
approximately $101,500. It is indicated that Dalton will reimburse
Southern for the total actual cost of relocating the facilities. Dalton
has requested the relocation to serve more efficiently the gas
requirements on its distribution system which are growing in the area
of the proposed relocation point.
Southern states that it will continue to transport gas to the
relocated Dalton No. 2 delivery point, pursuant to its Rate Schedules
FT and IT. Dalton does not propose to add or change any transportation
demand to its firm service as a result of the relocation of the
delivery point. Southern further states that the installation of the
proposed facilities will have no adverse impact on its peak day or firm
requirements.
Comment date: October 16, 1995, in accordance with Standard
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.
2. Colorado Interstate Gas Company
[Docket No. CP95-711-000]
Take notice that on August 25, 1995, Colorado Interstate Gas
Company (CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed
in Docket No. CP95-711-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205,
157.216 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.216 and 157.212) for authorization to
abandon the existing Fort Lupton taps and to construct new delivery
facilities at the same location for Public Service Company of Colorado
(PSCo), a local distribution company, under CIG's blanket certificate
issued in Docket No. CP83-21-000 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.
CIG proposes to abandon two taps and construct a new meter station
and appurtenant facilities at Section 34, Township 2 North, Range 66
West, Weld County, Colorado. The proposed new facilities are to be bi-
directional, will increase deliverability and will cost $506,600. The
deliveries at the Fort Lupton delivery point will provide service to
PSCo's Fort St. Vrain power plant and other loads in the area.
Currently, there is 15,500 Dth/d of entitlement under existing
agreements, but after the proposed installation, the initial deliveries
will be up to 100,000 Dth/d. The total annual and daily contract
entitlement for the contracts serving the Fort Lupton delivery
facilities are within the certificated entitlements. CIG's existing
tariff does not prohibit this change and CIG states that there is
sufficient capacity to accomplish the increased deliveries
[[Page 47160]]
without detriment or disadvantage to other customers.
Comment date: October 16, 1995, in accordance with Standard
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.
3. Colorado Interstate Gas Company
[Docket No. CP95-712-000]
Take notice that on August 25, 1995, Colorado Interstate Gas
Company (CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed
in Docket No. CP95-712-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and
157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18
CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for authorization to operate a new delivery
point, the South Bennett delivery facilities, for service under CIG's
existing Rate Schedule NNT-2 for Eastern Colorado Utility Company
(Eastern Colorado), a local distribution company, in Arapahoe County,
Colorado under the blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-21-
000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully
set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and open
to public inspection.
CIG states that it will operate a tap, two-inch tee, valve,
approximately 50 feet of two-inch pipe and appurtenant facilities. CIG
states that it plans to construct these facilities pursuant to Section
311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act. CIG estimates that cost of the
proposed facilities is approximately $10,000. CIG asserts that it will
provide transportation service to Eastern Colorado pursuant to its open
access blanket certificate; and therefore, it has authorization for the
proposed service. Additionally, CIG notes that the proposed service is
not prohibited by an existing CIG tariff. CIG states that it has
sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries to the proposed facilities
without detriment or disadvantage to CIG's other customers.
CIG states that it does not currently make deliveries to Eastern
Colorado at the proposed South Bennett delivery facility. CIG asserts
that the proposed facilities will be capable of delivering
approximately 850 Dth/d. Additionally, CIG notes that the end use of
the gas delivered by CIG to Eastern Colorado will be for new
residential development. CIG claims that the impact of the proposed
changes will be minimal because of the proposed delivery volume size
and the use of an existing agreement.
