per day and would allow increased

contractual delivery pressures at the

Olympia Meter Station under existing

transportation agreements with

Washington Natural, a local distribution

company.

Northwest states that the expanded

facilities at the Olympia Meter Station

would provide for a design capacity of

34,541 Dth per day of service (at a

delivery pressure of 400 psig).

Northwest also states that the proposed

lateral loop line would increase the

capacity of the Olympia lateral from

approximately 64,540 to approximately

77,910 Dth per day at 637 psig inlet

pressure from Northwest’s mainline.

Northwest explains that the increased

volumes and delivery pressure would be

utilized to enhance service to

Washington Natural under an existing

firm Rate Schedule TF–1 transportation

agreement dated August 15, 1994, or

under any other duly authorized firm

transportation agreement. Northwest

states that the total costs to remove the

undersized metering facilities and to

construct the proposed upgraded

metering facilities, lateral loop line,

valves and loop tie-in are estimated at

approximately $2,559,300. Northwest

further states that the costs would be

reimbursed by Washington Natural in

the form of a Facility Cost-of-Service

Charge over 9 years.
