[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 133 (Wednesday, July 10, 1996)] [Notices] [Page 36362] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-17512] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Docket No. CP96-53-000] NE Hub Partners, L.P.; Notice of Technical Conference July 3, 1996. Take notice that a technical conference will be convened in the above-docketed proceedings on Thursday, August 1, 1996, at 10:00 a.m., in a room to be designated at the offices of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. The purpose of the technical conference is to allow the project proponent, intervenors, and other interested parties to ascertain whether the above-docketed project will serve the public interest. The proponent of this project and all parties interested in the project should attend and be prepared to answer questions relating to the engineering, safety, and environmental impact of the project. Specifically, all of the parties should be prepared to discuss the following:Will drilling through the Tioga Gas Storage Pool located in the Oriskany Sandstone damage CNG's and Penn Fuel's Tioga Storage Complex? Will leaching natural gas storage salt caverns in the Salina salt layer under the existing Tioga Gas Storage Complex damage CNG's and Penn Fuel's storage complex? Will fracturing and failure in the sediments underlying the Tioga reservoir, around the cavern wells, cause gas migration between the storage caverns and the Oriskany, loss of producing wells in the Oriskany, and catastrophic loss of existing storage reservoirs? Will disposal of brine produced by solution mining the salt caverns into the Oriskany Sandstone and other formations adjacent to the Tioga Gas Storage Complex at pressures greater than the fracture gradient result in significant impact to the Tioga Storage Complex and fresh water supplies due to brine encroachment? Any party, as defined in 18 CFR 385.214, and any participant, as defined in 18 CFR 385.102(b), in the above-docketed proceedings are invited to participate in the technical conference. Topics other than those listed above will only be considered if directly relevant to the subject issues. For additional information, please contact Whit Holden, (202) 208-1118 or James New, (202) 208-2162, at the Commission. Lois D. Cashell, Secretary.
