SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

proposed activity would directly

support the ongoing environmental

remediation program at the Mound

Plant. Construction of the accessway to

the consolidated waste processing

facility would enable the facility to

accomplish volume-reduction, metal

recovery, and waste packaging goals

established for the site. Construction of

the accessway would impact

approximately 0.06 acres of a manmade, isolated wetland. The wetland is

one of several delineated in the OU9

Hydrogeologic Investigation: Wetlands

Determination Report, January 1994.

The proposed action would result in

long-term and direct impacts from the

filling of an isolated, man-made wetland

of 0.06 acres in size. The affected

wetland would be backfilled with gravel

during the construction of an accessway

which is needed to support a

consolidated waste processing facility.

Best management practices would be

utilized to avoid or minimize potential

harm to or within the surrounding

environment.

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

June 29, 1998.

Take notice that on June 22, 1998,

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company

(Tennessee), a Delaware corporation,

Post Office Box 2511, Houston, Texas

77252, filed a request with the

Commission in Docket No. CP98–629–

000, pursuant to Sections 157.205, and

157.212 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(NGA) for authorization to install a

delivery point, to provide interruptible

gas transportation service to Chevron

Gas Pipeline Company (Chevron) for

emergency fuel use authorized in

blanket certificate issued in Docket No.

CP82–413–000, all as more fully set

forth in the request on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Tennessee proposes to install a new

delivery point on its system at

approximately Mile Post 526A–

601+17.65, Side Valve 526A–612

located at Plaquemines Parish,

Louisiana, Louisiana State Water, Main

Pass Block 80 (MP 80) to provide

interruptible gas transportation service

of up to 900 dekatherms per day to

Chevron for emergency fuel use. At MP

80, Tennessee will inspect Chevron’s

installation of a two-inch tie-in

assembly on an offshore platform owned

by Ocean Energy Inc. The volumes to be

delivered to MP 80 will be transported

from MP 80 over interconnecting pipe

owned by Forcenergy Inc. (Forcenergy),

to a pipeline platform located at Main

Pass Block 69 (MP 69) owned by

Forcenergy. Chevron has separately

arranged with Forcenergy for

transportation services over this

interconnecting pipe. Chevron would

install its measurement facilities.

Tennessee would install, own and

operate electronic gas measurement

(EGM) equipment and own, operate and

maintain the tie-in assembly. Chevron

would install, own and maintain the

measurement facility. Tennessee reports

that Chevron would reimburse

Tennessee approximately $24,700 for

the cost of the project.

Tennesee reports that deliveries of

natural gas to Chevron from the

proposed point would be on an

interruptible basis, pursuant to a

transportation agreement between

Tennessee and Chevron under

Tennessee’s Rate Schedule IT. The

addition of this delivery point is not

expected to have any significant impact

upon Tennessee’s peak day or annual

deliveries.

Tennessee states that the total

quantities to be delivered to Chevron

after the delivery point is installed

would not exceed previously authorized

quantities. Tennessee further states that

the proposed modification is not

prohibited by its tariff, and that it has

sufficient capacity to accomplish

deliveries at the delivery point without

detriment or disadvantage to

Tennessee’s other customers.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after the

Commission has issued this notice, file

pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under NGA

(18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the

request. If no protest is filed within the

allowed time, the proposed 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 time allowed for filing a protest, the

instant request shall be treated as an
