with appurtenances. This unit was installed under the authority granted 
in FPC Docket No. CP71-73.\2\ ANR intends to abandon its unit W-10 
because it does not anticipate needing it at its present location for 
the foreseeable future, it has become increasingly expensive to 
maintain. The proposed abandonment activity will not involve ground 
disturbance or increases to operational air or noise emissions. The 
unit has not been used for over twelve months. The estimated cost to
