Compression would be added at two locations within the existing Gulfstream System. One 15,000 horsepower (HP) turbine-driven compressor unit would be installed at Gulfstream’s existing Compressor Station 410 in Mobile County, Alabama. A new 30,000 HP turbine-driven compressor station would be constructed at the existing pressurereduction Station 420 site in Manatee County, Florida at MP 427.8 (Line 200).
