regulators and appurtenances, with a maximum design delivery capacity 
of approximately 5,250 Dth per day at 200 psig to provide service to 
Washington Natural Gas Company (Washington Natural). Applicant states 
that prior to construction Washington Natural determined that a 
capacity of 750 Dth per day would be sufficient to meet its 
requirements at this delivery point and requested that the authorized 
meter station be downsized. Accordingly, Applicant modified the Maple 
Heights Meter Station design by eliminating the authorized 4-inch 
turbine meter thus reducing the design capacity to 
[[Page 10578]] approximately 750 Dth per day. Applicant states that the 
revised cost of the downsized meter station was $396,239 which was 
reimbursed by Washington Natural.
    Applicant holds a blanket transportation certificate pursuant to 
Part 284 of the Commission's Regulations issued in Docket No. CP86-578-
000.<SUP>3 Applicant states that there is no significant impact on 
Applicant's system peak day deliveries resulted from the redesigned 
facilities since Applicant's total firm obligation for deliveries to 
Washington Natural remains unchanged. Applicant states that 
construction of the proposed delivery point is not prohibited by its 
existing tariff, and that the requirements to be served via this meter 
station will result in no significant increase in annual throughput on 
Applicant's system.
