Project Description

    Boardwalk Storage proposes to abandon one 10,000 hp compressor unit 
and install a new electric driven 9,000 hp centrifugal compressor unit 
at the Choctaw Compressor Station in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. The 
Project also includes the installation of yard and station piping and 
appurtenant facilities and placing an existing 10,000 hp electric 
compressor unit on standby. The Project would decrease the current 
certificated injection capability of the Choctaw Storage Facility from 
350,000 dekatherms per day to 150,000 dekatherms per day and the 
certificated horsepower at the Choctaw Compressor Station would 
decrease from 20,000 hp to 9,000 hp. According to Boardwalk Storage, 
its project would improve efficiency and reliability at the Choctaw 
Compressor Station and the proposed modifications would not change the 
Choctaw Storage Facility's storage or withdrawal capacity.
