permanently operate a mainline natural 

gas sales tap located in Williams 

County, North Dakota, all as more fully 

set forth in the application, which is on 

file with the Commission and open to 

public inspection. 

The new sales tap was installed as an 

emergency natural gas transportation

Regulations. The sales tap installation 

included a steel pipe riser with a shutin valve and other pipe fittings at the

excavated 635-foot-long headrace 

channel to convey water from the 

upstream Pool No. 3 of the Red River to 

a 301-foot-long by 90-foot-wide concrete 

powerhouse located southwest of the 

end of the existing spillway; (2) an 

excavated 820-foot-long tailrace channel 

to discharge water from the powerhouse 

to the downstream Pool No. 2 of the Red 

River; (3) a 36.2-megawatt (MW) 

horizontal Kaplan bulb turbine/ 

generator unit; (4) a 2,300-foot-long, 

13.2-kilovolt (kV) overhead 

transmission line which crosses the 

river and connects to a Central 

Louisiana Electric Company substation 

located on the opposite side of the river;
