Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Request for
Extension of Time
Take notice that on October 2, 2024,
Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans) requested
that the Commission grant an extension
of time, until January 31, 2025, to
complete its Well 3660 Plug and
Abandonment Project (Project) located
in Greene County, Pennsylvania as
authorized in the Order Denying
Protests and Authorizing Abandonment
(Order).1 The Order authorized
Equitrans to proceed with the Project
under its Part 157 blanket certificate. By
Rule, the Project should have been

completed within one year of the Order
date, or by October 23, 2024.
Equitrans states that, pursuant to a
court order in ongoing litigation
involving Well 3660 and pending in the
Court of Common Pleas of Greene
County, Pennsylvania (Court), Equitrans
was required to preserve physical
evidence, which includes the well.
Equitrans received an order from the
Court lifting the preservation order on
September 9, 2024. Equitrans asserts
that it is finalizing written protocols for
plugging and abandonment to submit to
the parties to the litigation prior to
commencement of plugging activities.
Thus, Equitrans requests an extension of
time, until January 31, 2025, to
complete the abandonment activities.
This notice establishes a 15-calendar
day intervention and comment period
deadline. Any person wishing to
comment on Equitrans’ request for an
extension of time may do so. No reply
comments or answers will be
considered. If you wish to obtain legal
status by becoming a party to the
proceedings for this request, you
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file a motion to intervene
in accordance with the requirements of
the Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the Natural
Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.10).
As a matter of practice, the
Commission itself generally acts on
requests for extensions of time to
complete construction for NGA facilities
when such requests are contested before
order issuance. For those extension
requests that are contested,2 the
Commission will aim to issue an order
acting on the request within 45 days.3
The Commission will address all
arguments relating to whether the
applicant has demonstrated there is
good cause to grant the extension.4 The
Commission will not consider
arguments that re-litigate the issuance of
the certificate order, including whether
the Commission properly found the
project to be in the public convenience
and necessity and whether the
Commission’s environmental analysis
for the certificate complied with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA).5 At the time a pipeline requests

intervenor disputes any material issue of the filing.

the issuance of an NGA section 3 authorization,
including whether a proposed project is not
inconsistent with the public interest and whether
the Commission’s environmental analysis for the
permit order complied with NEPA.
