Universal Citation: MN Rules 7855.0400
Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 13, September 23, 2024
Each application for a coal slurry or coal liquids pipeline shall contain the following information:
A. a physical description of the facility, including:
(1) a pipeline system map showing
the planned route, mileages, and locations of pumping stations, mainline
valves, dump basins or storage facilities, and interconnections with other
energy transportation systems;
(2)
the diameter and the expected length within Minnesota;
(3) the design throughput in tons per day of
coal (coal slurry pipeline) or in barrels per day (coal liquids
pipeline);
(4) to the extent known,
specifications for the pipe (diameter, length, wall thickness, and grade) and
the valves (diameter and American National Standards Institute rating) with the
maximum allowable operating pressure for each;
(5) to the extent known, specifications for
the pumps (diameter, maximum allowable operating pressures, and maximum
capabilities); and
(6) to the
extent known, specifications for the prime movers (type, maximum power capacity
in horsepower, efficiency, allowable maximum and minimum operating
temperatures, and energy requirement in Btu per ton of coal or barrel of coal
liquids pumped);
B. data regarding design and construction of the facility, including:
(1) if known, the complete name and business
address of the engineer and firm that would be responsible for the
design;
(2) if known, the complete
name and business address of the company which would construct the
facility;
(3) the proposed date for
commencing construction and the proposed in-service date;
(4) the estimated installed cost of the
facility in current dollars; and
(5) the estimated economic life of the
facility; and
C. data regarding operation of the facility, including:
(1) a list of expected sources of supply for
transportation during the first five calendar years of operation, designated as
in-state or as out-of-state, the expected dates and durations of the contracts
with the suppliers, and the quantities expected to be involved;
(2) a list of expected recipients of the
transported slurry or coal liquids during the first five calendar years of
operation, designated either as in-state or as out-of-state, the expected dates
and durations of the contracts with the 25 largest recipients, and the
quantities expected to be involved;
(3) the expected maximum operating pressure
and capacity of the facility at the time of peak demand;
(4) the expected power requirement from the
prime movers at each station at the time of peak demand (in kilowatts,
thousands of cubic feet per hour, or gallons per hour);
(5) the expected average percentage of use of
the full design capacity for each of the first five calendar years of
operation;
(6) the estimated
tariffs or transportation costs for the pipeline for each of the first five
calendar years of operation; and
(7) for a coal slurry pipeline, a description
of what would be done with the slurry water or other carrier after it had been
used to transport coal.
