Specifically, Tennessee proposes to
abandon the Alta Mesa Laterals, which
are comprised of approximately 15.5
miles of small diameter pipelines,
which includes (i) Line No. 405A–100,

that once Tennessee is authorized to
abandon the facilities and completes the
purchase and sale transaction with
HESCO, the facilities will be owned and
operated by HESCO in conjunction with
its existing gas gathering activities.
Tennessee avers that the Alta Mesa
Laterals are inactive for more than
