Columbia states that subsidence due to poor soil conditions has resulted in foundation damage as well as the unsafe buildup of stresses on Station piping that presents safety and reliability risks if further settlement is not prevented. Columbia states that its plan to stabilize further settlement and to repair the Station foundation and piping will require a six-to-eight month full Station outage. In order to begin the remedial measures, Columbia plans to temporarily install four leased 1,380 horsepower (hp) compressors approximately 250 feet northeast of the Station which will allow the existing compressors to be taken off line during restoration activities. The cost of the temporary compression, including installation, operation, and removal, is approximately $7.6 million. Columbia further states that its customers, including the City of Norfolk, Virginia and the CALP Power Plant, are dependent on the Station compression for their natural gas service and therefore an in-service date of November 1, 2018 is needed for the temporary compression in order to maintain uninterrupted service during the 2018–2019 winter heating season.

The projects are located on the Coosa River in the states of Alabama and Georgia. On August 8, 2007, the Commission issued separate Notices of Authorization for Continued Project Operation (Notice of Authorization) for each project. Each Notice of Authorization stated that if the project is subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is hereby given that an VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:47 Sep 14, 2018 annual license for the project is issued to Alabama Power Company for a period effective August 1, 2007 through July 31, 2008, or until the issuance of a new license for the project or other disposition under the FPA, whichever comes first. The Notice of Authorization further stated that if issuance of a new license (or other disposition) does not take place on or before July 31, 2008, notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.18(c), an annual license under section 15(a)(1) of the FPA is renewed automatically without further order or notice by the Commission, unless the Commission orders otherwise.

On September 7, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a formal mandate vacating and remanding the new license to the Commission for further proceedings. Therefore, as of September 7, 2018, the Court’s mandate automatically reinstates the three August 8, 2007 Notices of Authorization and returns the July 28, 2005 application to pending status.
