Modoc

Tuscarora Gas Transmission has filed an application with FERC to add a new 8,000 hp compressor station on its mainline near milepost 81.6 in Modoc County, CA, and a 3,600 hp booster compressor at its existing Wadsworth station in Washoe County, NV. The new compression will cost $16.5 million and will boost its firm transportation capacity by 51,753 Dth/d. Tuscarora requested Commission approval by Nov. 18 so that the facilities can be put into service before the 2005-2006 heating season. Reno-based Tuscarora operates a pipeline system extending in a southeasterly direction from a point of interconnection with the facilities of Gas Transmission Northwest Corp. near Malin, OR, to a terminus near Wadsworth, NV, where Tuscarora interconnects with Paiute Pipeline Co.
