Based on the firm commitments for firm wheeling services, CNYOG proposed to install a 15,000 hp of gas-fired compression facility near the interconnect between the North Lateral and Millennium Pipeline, and a 17,000 hp of high-speed electric motor driven compression facility near the interconnect between the South Lateral and Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company. This additional compression will supplement the approximately 36,900 hp of compression already in place at the Stagecoach Central Compression Station, and increase the maximum throughput capacity of the North and South Laterals to approximately 560 MMcf/d and 728 MMcf/d respectively. The increased throughput capacity is necessary to provide up to 325 MMcf/d of firm wheeling capacity between receipt and delivery points on the North and South Laterals, without injection or withdrawal of the gas from the Stagecoach storage reservoir. CNYOG proposes a start date of October 1, 2011.
