Project Description

    The Oak Grove Enhancement Project would consist of the following 
facilities:
     Installation of 34.1 miles of new 30-inch-diameter segment 
of natural gas pipeline, which will begin at ANR's existing Delhi 
Compressor Station (CS) in Richland Parish, Louisiana and primarily 
parallel the existing Line 0-501, 1-501, and 2-501 pipelines before the 
new segment ties into the existing route just south of State Route 586 
in West Carroll Parish, Louisiana at the terminus of the existing Line 
0-501 segment to be abandoned.
     Abandonment in place and by removal of 33.6 miles of 
existing 30-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline, which begins at ANR's 
existing Delhi CS in Richland Parish and terminates just south of State 
Route 586 in West Carroll Parish. Approximately one percent (0.25 mile) 
of the existing Line 0-501 segment would be abandoned by removal, while 
the remaining existing pipeline segments (totaling 33.35 miles) would 
be abandoned in place.
    The Oak Grove Enhancement Project would not increase or reduce

remain in operation until the replacement pipeline is placed into 
service.
