- Name of the facility:
Northwest Pipeline Corporation
- Location:
3 km east of Sumas, Washington. Whatcom County. UTM Coordinates: 557127 meters east, 5427616 meters north.
- Distance from the US/Canada border:
- Type/size of the facility:
Existing 41,200 horsepower natural gas pipeline compressor station utilizing two
combustion turbines and six reciprocating engines. Applicant proposes to install one
additional turbine to increase capacity by 12,841 horsepower @ 59øF. Applicant also
proposes to replace the engines of the two existing turbines with new, lower emitting
engines.
- Source of emissions:
Natural gas fired turbines and reciprocating engines
- Type of fuel:
