Columbia states that Range Resources 

Appalachia LLC (Range Resources) has 

requested Columbia to transport 150,000 

dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of natural 

gas from Range Resources’ production 

fields in the Marcellus Shale in 

southwestern Pennsylvania to Leach, 

Kentucky. Columbia asserts that, as a 

result of that request and to meet the 

market demands in the Marcellus Shale 

region, it has determined that it will 

need to make certain modifications to 

its pipeline system in Washington and 

Greene Counties, Pennsylvania. 

Columbia states that it will: (i) Isolate a 

portion of its transmission Line 1570 

from Sharp Farm MS to Waynesburg 

Compressor Station; (ii) provide 

alternate sources of supply to continue 

service to the markets currently being 

served from Line 1570; and (iii) make 

minor modifications to other Columbia 

facilities in order to accommodate those 

alternate sources of supply. 

More specifically, Columbia seeks 

approval to: (i) Increase the maximum 

allowable operating pressure (MAOP) 

on approximately 1.3 miles of 4-inch 

pipeline on Line 10331 from 206 

pounds per square inch gauge (psig) to 

330 psig; (ii) increase the MAOP on 

approximately 13.4 miles of 10-inch 

pipeline on Line 40 from 150 psig to 330 

psig; (iii) increase the MAOP on 

approximately 0.82 miles of 8-inch 

pipeline of Line 708 from 280 psig to 

330 psig; (iv) replace approximately 0.4 

miles of 4-inch pipeline and 

appurtenances with a like amount of 10- 

inch pipeline and appurtenances on 

Line 36; (v) replace approximately 2.8 

miles of 3-inch pipeline and 

appurtenances with a like amount of 10- 

inch pipeline and appurtenances on 

Line 628; (vi) replace approximately 

0.07 miles of 10-inch pipeline and 

appurtenances with a like amount of 10- 

inch pipeline and appurtenances on 

Line 40; (vii) construct approximately 

1.8 miles of 12-inch pipeline and 

appurtenances to extend Line 7215; 

(viii) construct approximately 1.14 

miles of 6-inch pipeline and 

appurtenances on Line 10366; (ix) 

abandon the pipeline segments being 

replaced; and (x) abandon 23 mainline 

taps. Columbia estimates the cost 

associated with the construction of the 

subject facilities as approximately 

$16,500,000. 

Any questions regarding the 

application should be directed to 

Frederic J. George, Senior Counsel, 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC, PO 

Box 1273, Charleston, West Virginia 

22030–0146, at (304) 357–2359. 

Any person may, within 60 days after 

the issuance of the instant notice by the 

Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 

of the Commission’s Procedural Rules 

(18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene 

or notice of intervention. Any person 

filing to intervene or the Commission’s 

staff may, pursuant to § 157.205 of the 

Commission’s regulations under the 

NGA (18 CFR 157.205), file a protest to 

the request. If no protest is filed within 

the time allowed therefore, the proposed 

activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for protest. If a protest is 

filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 

after the time allowed for filing a 

protest, the instant request shall be 

treated as an application for 

authorization pursuant to section 7 of 

the NGA. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests, 

and interventions via the Internet in lieu 

of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)
