    Columbia proposes to abandon and replace approximately 6.5 miles of 
bare, coupled 10-inch diameter pipeline originally constructed in 1912 
without cathodic protection on its Line PM-117 in Johnson and Martin 
Counties, Kentucky. Columbia also proposes to replace the abandoned 
pipeline with approximately 7.4 miles of new 6-inch diameter coated, 
cathodically protected, steel pipeline. Columbia states that the 
reduction in pipeline diameter would have no adverse effect on 
Columbia's ability to meet its operational and firm commitments on this 
pipeline. Columbia also states that it would cost approximately 
$15,400,000 to replace the aging pipe on Line PM-117.
    Columbia states that because of the necessary relocation of a 
significant portion of Line PM-117, Columbia has identified 10 mainline 
consumer taps that would be abandoned as part of the proposed 
replacement. Columbia also states that continuity of service to the 
affected consumers would be maintained by converting them to an 
alternate energy source.
