Millennium proposes to modify facilities interconnecting
Millennium's system with the system of Empire Pipeline, Inc. (Empire)
by replacing two existing valves and adding six new valves and piping
at Millennium's Corning compressor station in Steuben County.
Millennium also proposes to increase the maximum allowable operating
pressure (MAOP) of the Corning compressor station discharge piping from
1200 psig to 1350 psig. Millennium states that the increased MAOP is
necessary to permit it to occasionally reverse the flow of natural gas
on its system to transport natural gas from either its 30-inch diameter
mainline system or its A5-West pipeline via the Corning compressor
station onto the facilities of Empire, which operate at an MAOP of 1300
psig. Millennium further states that the activity associated with the
Corning Flow Reversal Project will not increase Millennium's mainline
capacity. Finally, Millennium estimates that the proposed modifications
would cost $3,400,000 to construct.
