Project Description

    Rover proposes to construct, own, and operate a new pipeline 
delivery point interconnection at the Rover-Bulger Delivery Meter 
Station, entirely within Rover's existing Bulger Compressor Station in 
Washington County, Pennsylvania. The Rover-Bulger Delivery Meter 
Station Project would allow for delivery of natural gas to ETC 
Northeast Pipeline LLC's (ETC Northeast) cryogenic processing facility 
for processing and re-injection of the processed natural gas into 
Rover's pipeline via the existing Rover-Revolution Receipt Meter 
Station. According to Rover, the project's interconnection would allow 
delivery of up to 400,000 dekatherms of natural gas assets per day to 
ETC Northeast. Rover does not have the authority to construct 
facilities pursuant to blanket certificate authority under part 157, 
subpart F of the Commission's regulations, therefore, Rover was 
required to file an application under part 157 of the Commission's 
regulations.
