Project Description

    Rover proposes to construct, own, and operate certain facilities 
necessary to expand its existing Harmon Creek Receipt Meter Station and 
Bulger Compressor Station, within its existing Bulger Compressor 
Station in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The Rover-Bulger Compressor 
Station and Harmon Creek Meter Station Expansion Project would allow 
Rover to ensure delivery of Range Resources--Appalachia LLC's (Range) 
requested transportation quantities at the required pressures. 
According to Rover, the Project is designed to receive up to an 
additional 400,000 dekatherms of natural gas assets per day to Rover. 
Rover does not have the authority to construct facilities pursuant to 
blanket certificate authority under Part 157, Subpart F of the 
Commission's regulations, therefore, Rover was required to file an 
application under part 157 of the Commission's regulations.
