Certificate Filings
January 5, 1995.
Take notice that the following filings have been made with the
Commission:
1. Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company
[Docket No. CP95-137-000]
Take notice that on December 28, 1994, Williston Basin Interstate
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300,
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed request with the Commission in
Docket No. CP95-370-000 pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.216(b) of the
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for
authorization to abandon a town border station under the blanket
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-487-000, all as more fully set
forth in the request on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
Williston Basin proposes to abandon the Ward Road Town Border
Station (Ward Station), located in Burleigh County, North Dakota, which
has provided service to Montana-Dakota Utilities Company (Montana-
Dakota). Williston Basin states that Montana-Dakota because of an
existing station, Missouri River Border Station and the North Bismarck
Border Station possess sufficient capacity to provide reliable service
to Montana-Dakota and therefore propose to abandon Ward Station, which
would consist of a 14' x 16' building, regulators, valves and station
piping. The fence enclosing the facilities and a mainline valve setting
would remain at the site for emergency use. Williston Basin further
states that the abandonment of this border station will not affect
Williston Basin's peak day or annual transportation to Montana-Dakota.
