Sec. 1001.36. Exhibit 36: gas interconnection

If a gas interconnection is proposed for the facility, Exhibit 36 shall contain:

(a) A study of gas supply options, capacity, and system impact, including:

(1) A detailed description of the proposed gas pipeline interconnection, including all interconnecting facilities, pipeline route, size, operating pressure, volume of gas required to serve the facility, the need for new on-site compression, and identifying who shall construct, own and operate the pipeline facilities.

(2) An analysis demonstrating that there shall be sufficient gas supply and gas transmission capacity to support the requirements of the facility.

(3) An estimate of the peak hour, peak day, seasonal and annual natural gas requirements of the facility.

(4) An identification of the nature and extent of the natural gas capacity and transportation service as firm, interruptible, or both.

(5) An evaluation of the potential impacts of the facility on the gas distribution system of the local distribution company (LDC).

(6) A discussion of the impact of the facility use of gas on wholesale supplies and prices in the region using the same transmission facilities as the facility.

(b) A description and preliminary design details for the gas interconnection including:

(1) class criteria for the interconnection pipeline location;

(2) location and design of valves;

(3) a plan for pressure testing of the station piping facilities, indicating applicable code, standards and procedures for testing and release of test medium; and

(4) the need for cathodic protection measures.
