[Docket No. CP96-338-000]
ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Application
April 29, 1996.
Take notice that, on April 19, 1996, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR),
500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243, filed an abbreviated
application in Docket No. CP96-338-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's regulations, for a
certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct and
operate new storage facilities in the Goodwell Storage Field, in
Newaygo County, Michigan, all as more fully set forth in the
application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
ANR states that data recently obtained from the Goodwell Storage
Field's observation wells indicate that the southeastern portion of the
storage reservoir cannot be efficiently drained using the storage
field's existing injection/withdrawal wells. ANR plans to drill the new
horizontal injection/withdrawal well at the southeastern edge of the
storage reservoir in the Goodwell Storage Field, and construct
approximately 920 feet of 6-inch diameter pipeline to connect the new
well to the storage field's gathering system. The estimated cost of the
proposed facilities is $568,000.
ANR states that the new well will improve the injection/withdrawal
capability in the southeastern portion of the storage reservoir, and
may increase withdrawals slightly toward the end of the storage
withdrawal season. ANR adds, however, that the new well will not
increase the maximum peak-day deliverability or the maximum working
storage capacity of the storage field.
ANR plans to drill the new well in the SE \1/4\ of Section 9,
Goodwell Township, Newaygo County, Michigan, from a surface location
127 feet southeast of ANR's Goodwell #57 injection/withdrawal
well, encountering the storage reservoir approximately 400 feet
southeast of the surface location. ANR plans to complete the new well
by drilling approximately 1,500 feet of open drain hole to the
southeast, ending in the NW \1/4\ of the NE \1/4\ of Section 16, in
Goodwell Township.
Any person desiring to be heard, or to make any protest with
reference to said application should, on or before May 20, 1996, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC, 20426, a
motion to intervene or protest in accordance with the requirements of
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).
All protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to
become a party to the proceeding, or to participate as a party in any
hearing therein, must file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on
this application, if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely
filed, or the Commission on its own motion
[[Page 19919]]
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such
hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for ANR to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
