(a) of the clause requires the contractor 

to notify the contracting officer if the

well pads; (b) install and operate surface

if successful, will reduce the number of 

new water injection wells required to be 

drilled; (d) upgrade and operate the 

existing water disposal system by 

replacing, looping or extending 12 water 

lines totaling 25,825 feet (made up of 

8-, 10- and 12-inch diameter plastic 

pipe); (e) rework (via underreaming and

to the proceeding for this project 

should, on or before the below listed 

comment date, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only
