DECISION AMENDING CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE
AND NECESSITY FOR WILD GOOSE STORAGE, LLC AND
AUTHORIZING PHASE 3 GAS STORAGE FACILITIES

1. Summary

We grant the request of Wild Goose Storage, LLC (Wild Goose) for an amendment of its certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN) to expand gas storage facilities in Butte County by 21 billion cubic feet and to connect the expanded facilities to a major, intrastate transmission pipeline,
Line 400/401, near the Delevan Compressor Station in Colusa County. Wild Goose may offer this additional storage capacity and related services at market-based rates.

Today's decision also certifies the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the Wild Goose expansion project and further conditions the CPCN on mitigations set forth in the SEIR. As mitigated, all environmental impacts are less than significant.
