Equitrans proposes to construct 50 miles of pipeline and 36,000 horsepower compression facilities located in West Virginia and Ohio. The project will provide up to 850,000 dekatherms per day of additional firm transportation service to mid-continent and Gulf Coast markets. The Project will provide tie-ins with Rockies Express Pipeline, LLC, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (TETCO), and existing Equitrans Mainline and Sunrise Transmission System facilities. The estimated cost of these facilities will be $416.00 million and Equitrans proposes to create a separate rate zone for the Project. Equitrans proposes an in-service date of June 2016. On June 20, 2014, the Commission staff granted Equitrans’ request to use the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF14–13–000 to staff activities involving the proposed facilities. Now, as of the filing of this application on December 30, 2014, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be conducted in Docket No. CP15–41–000, as noted in the caption of this Notice.
