abandon 9 injection/withdrawal wells 

and associated pipelines and

8908, 8909, 8968, 9060, 9031, 9121, and

states that there will be no change to the 

existing boundary, total inventory, 

reservoir pressure, reservoir and buffer 

boundaries, or the certificated capacity 

of the Wellington Storage Field as a 

result of these abandonments, therefore 

will have no impact on Columbia’s 

existing customers or affect Columbia’s 

existing storage operations, all as more 

fully set forth in the application which 

is on file with the Commission and open 

to public inspection.
