Columbia Gas Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Application

October 18, 2000.

Take notice that on October 13, 2000,

Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation

(Columbia), P.O. Box 1273, Charleston,

West Virginia, filed an application in

Docket No. CP01–11–000, pursuant to

Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act

(NGA) for permission and approval to

abandon a storage injection/withdrawal

well and an associated well line located

in the Benton Storage Field, Vinton

County, Ohio, all as more fully set forth

in the application which is on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection. This filing may be viewed

on the web at http://www.ferc.us/online/

rims.htm (call 202–208–2222).

Columbia proposes to abandon its

storage injection/withdrawal Well No.

10238 and its associated Well Line No.

SR–W10238, consisting of 0.27 mile of

2-inch pipeline. Columbia states that the

physical condition of the storage well

has deteriorated to the extent that an

expensive repair or abandonment is

required. Columbia also submits that the

repairs would be uneconomic due to the

poor performance of the well. Columbia

also states that recent evidence of

leakage from the well supports proposal

for immediate abandonment.

Columbia indicates that the well line

will no longer be needed after the well

is abandoned. Columbia also states that

no customers will be impacted by the

proposed abandonment.

application may be directed to Fredric
