and follow the instructions (please call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Tennessee states that the compressor station will consist of a 
single 7,150 horsepower natural gas driven compressor unit located 
adjacent to Tennessee's Rhode Island Lateral, Line No. 265E-100, in 
Providence County, Rhode Island. Addition of the compressor station 
will increase the capacity of the line by approximately 100 MMcf/day. 
Tennessee estimates the cost of construction for the compressor station 
is $14,100,000.
    The proposed meter station will serve the RISEP power generation 
plant and will be located on the power plant site. The facilities will 
consist of a tie-in assembly, a Tee connection to the lateral line and 
a 12-inch ball and check valve. Tennessee estimates that approximately 
250 feet of 12-inch pipe will be required to connect the tie-in 
assembly to the meter station that will include a 2-inch turbine meter, 
a 6-inch ultrasonic meter and an 8-inch ultrasonic meter as well as 
electronic gas measurement equipment, and other appurtenances. The 
estimated cost of the tap and meter station is approximately $976,800. 
RISEP will reimburse Tennessee approximately $210,000 to cover the cost 
of ``tap facilities'' as defined in the general terms and conditions of 
Tennessee's FERC Gas Tariff.
