Limited Partnership (Great Lakes) 5250 Corporate Drive, Troy, Michigan

pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.208 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Great Lakes' blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP90-2053,\1\ for authorization to

    Specifically, Great Lakes will repair or replace up to 59 anomalies 
at 32 locations along its pipeline, identified by a Magnetic Flux 
Leakage In-line Inspection Tool as being possibly deteriorated by 
corrosion. Great Lakes states that the proposed project activities must 
be completed utilizing additional work space outside of Great Lakes' 
existing right of way due to the presence of unstable saturated soils 
in the project areas and the proximity of its 200 line (loop line) to 
the areas of the 100 line that requires inspection, remediation, and 
possible replacement.\2\ Great Lakes estimates the total cost at up to 
$16 million.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The proposed work would normally be preformed under Section 
2.55 of the Commission Regulations, however in this project 
additional temporary work space is required outside of the 100 Line 
footprint.

J. Wallbillich, Vice President, Legal and Environmental Affairs, Great 
Lakes Gas Transmission Company, 5250 Corporate Drive, Troy, Michigan
