Notification from Spectra
Energy regarding testing of the Algonquin gas meter facility at Footprint:
In our efforts to keep you informed of the progress of Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC’s (“Algonquin’s”) Salem Lateral Project, please note that Algonquin’s contractor has completed the installation of the pipeline segment of the Salem Lateral Project and is in the process of completing the work on the Meter and Regulator facilities. Beginning on Wednesday, October 19th through Saturday, October 22nd, Algonquin’s contractor will begin testing the piping components for the Meter & Regulator facilities which are located on Footprint Power’s property. The test will be performed over several days to prepare the facilities for service by filling them with nitrogen (an inert gas) under pressure to test the integrity of the components. Once filled and pressurized, the test will run for a number of hours and may require extended work hours to complete.
THERE IS NO NATURAL GAS IN THE COMPONENTS AT THIS TIME
Once the test has been completed, the nitrogen will be discharged under pressure well away from the residences along Derby & Webb Streets. This activity will take a few hours to complete and may generate a hissing noise. Again, this is only the discharge of the nitrogen gas used to test the integrity of the Meter & Regulator Station Components. Once the test is satisfactorily completed, the Meter & Regulator facilities will be ready to be connected to the pipeline later this month.
Algonquin representatives will be on site throughout this planned event to closely monitor the test which will be conducted in accordance with applicable federal and state regulations. Notice of this testing has been made to the Police Department, Fire Department and other City officials.
We have set up a Hot Line that is monitored 24 hours a day 7 days a week for anyone to call with a question or to notify us of a complaint. The 24 hour number is (866) 387-4448
