the main compressor building including foundations, the suction and 
discharge piping, and associated valves and appurtenances. Gulf South 
states that this proposal will reduce maintenance obligations currently 
required for the out-of-service facilities. Gulf South asserts that the

abandonment by physical removal will have no effect on capacities and 
services.
