[Docket No. CP18-541-000]
Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
Take notice that on August 17, 2018, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP
(Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056-5310,
filed in Docket No. CP18-541-000 a prior notice request pursuant to
sections 157.205 and 157.208 of the Commission's regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Texas Eastern's blanket certificate issued
in Docket No. CP82-535-000, to construct its Rahway River Additional
Pipe Replacement Project, in Woodbridge, New Jersey.
Specifically, Texas Eastern proposes to replace an additional
approximately 400-foot segment of its new 20-inch-diameter Line 1
pipeline. In Docket No. CP17-496-000, Texas Eastern was authorized to
replace a 1,250-foot segment of its Line 1 pipeline beneath the Rahway
River (Rahway River Pipeline Replacement Project), which was designed
to ensure the continued safe operation of Texas Eastern's pipeline
facilities. The Project described herein would increase the total
length of pipeline to be replaced to approximately 1,650 feet. Texas
Eastern states that the 400-foot additional segment is located entirely
within a warehouse parking lot. Texas Eastern avers that the additional
activities will not cause a significant change to the estimated total
cost of the Rahway River Pipeline Replacement Project in Docket No.
CP17-496-000, all as more fully set forth in the application which is
on file with the Commission
