Mr. Ed Warner July 16, 2008 Page 2 Standard Facilities: PG&E proposes to tap its Line 108 near West Armstrong Road, Lodi, and install approximately 2.8 miles of 6-inch steel pipeline to a 16-inch ultrasonic meter set located at the Applicant's Facility. Of the 2.8 miles of pipe Applicant will be responsible for cost for approximately 2.1 miles of the pipeline. PG&E estimates this design can provide Applicant with a minimum floating delivery pressure of 110 psig as measured immediately downstream of the meter set. In addition, PG&E will need to reinforce its system by: • Installing a new mainline valve and SCADA on Line 108 at Armstrong Road, • Advance regulator station upgrades at Coffee & Claratina, Claus & Yosemite, and Sante Fe & Claus from 2013 to 2011 , • Advance Line 108 connection to L-401 at Vernalis from 2011 to 2010. • Assumes replacement of 2.5 miles of L-108 of 16-inch with 24-inch pipe is complete by 11/1/2012. Should PG&E not require this 2.5 miles of pipeline replacement by the time needed to serve the Applicant's gas demand, it will shift the costs, or a portion thereof, from PG&E to the Applicant. Special Facilities: 240 psis Alternative: In order to provide Applicant with an elevated service delivery pressure of 240 psig at the inlet to the meter set, PG&E would increase the diameter of the 2.8 miles of steel pipeline from 6-inch to12-inches, and perform the above mentioned system reinforcements. 360 psiq Alternative: In order to provide Applicant with an elevated service delivery pressure of 360 psig at the inlet to the meter set, PG&E would • Increase the diameter of the 2.8 miles of steel pipeline from 6-inch to12- inches • Uprate L-108 to 720 psig between Ripon-Modesto Meter Station and Eight Mile Road, • Install a PLS at Eight Mile Road to limit pressure between Eight Mile Road and West Armstrong Road to 412 psig. • Perform the above mentioned system reinforcements.
