Commission 

[Docket No. CP15–116–000] 

Southwest Gas Storage Company; 

Notice of Request Under Blanket 

Authorization 

Take notice that on March 18, 2015, 

Southwest Gas Storage Company 

(Southwest), 1300 Main Street, Houston, 

Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. CP15– 

116–000 a prior notice request pursuant 

to sections 157.205 and 157.216(b) of 

the Commission’s regulations under the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, 

requesting authorization to plug and 

abandon 11 wells, associated lateral 

pipelines, and appurtenances at its 

Waverly Storage Field in Morgan 

County, Illinois, all as more fully set 

forth in the application which is on file 

with the Commission and open to 

public inspection. The filing may also 

be viewed on the web at http://

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. 

Enter the docket number excluding the 

last three digits in the docket number 

field to access the document. For 

assistance, please contact FERC Online 

Support at FERCOnlineSupport@

ferc.gov or toll free at (866) 208–3676, or 

TTY, contact (202) 502–8659. 

Specifically, Southwest proposes to 

plug and abandon seven inactive 

injection/withdrawal wells (Carr 2–9, 

Staton 2–15, Mosley 2–16, Rogers 1–16, 

Stenemeyer 2–15, Edwards 1–16, and 

Wheeler 2–15). Southwest further 

proposes to abandon the related laterals, 

totaling 5,362 feet of 4-, 6-, and 8-inch 

diameter pipeline, with appurtenances. 

Additionally, Southwest proposes to 

plug and abandon four observation 

wells (Dora Hubbs 1–33, Burnett 1–4, 

B.J. Stenemeyer 1–22, and Wheeler 1– 

22). Southwest states that the working 

gas at the Waverly Storage Field has 

been reduced, leaving a number of wells 

too far from the gas bubble to provide 

useful service. Also, Southwest asserts 

that there have been integrity problems 

in the lateral pipelines, well site 

facilities, and wellheads due to 

corrosion. Southwest states that it does 

not anticipate storage field operation to 

change to where the subject wells would 

be needed for injection/withdrawal 

service. Southwest avers that the 

proposed abandonment project will 

have no effect on the certificated 

physical parameters of the Waverly 

Storage Field, including total inventory, 

reservoir pressure, reservoir and buffer 

boundaries, and certificated capacity. 

Southwest estimates the cost of the 

proposed abandonment to be 

approximately $853,000. 

Any questions concerning this 

application may be directed to Stephen 

Veatch, Sr. Director of Certificates, 

Southwest Gas Storage Company, 1300 

Main Street, Houston, Texas 77002, by 

telephone at (713) 989–2024, by

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

157.205 of the regulations under the 

NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the 

request. If no protest is filed within the

activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for filing a protest. If a 

protest is filed and not withdrawn 

within 30 days after the allowed time 

for filing a protest, the instant request 

shall be treated as an application for

the prohibited communication and any 

responses thereto should become a part 

of the decisional record, the prohibited 

off-the-record communication will not 

be considered by the Commission in 

reaching its decision. Parties to a 

proceeding may seek the opportunity to

the Commission place the prohibited 

communication and responses thereto

requires. Any person identified below as 

having made a prohibited off-the-record
