Tennessee states that the subject facilities have been out of service since it was damaged by Hurricane Ike in September 2008. Tennessee asserts that is has not provided transportation service to any shippers through Line No. 523M-2700 for more than twelve months and there are no firm contracts associated with the receipt points located on the line. Tennessee estimates the cost to construct similar facilities today is approximately $18.4 million.
