Any utility proposing to construct a natural gas pipeline requiring a Certificate of Authority (CA) under Wis. Stat. §196.49 must prepare an application for Commission review.  PSC 133.04 Wis. Adm. Code, lists the information needed for all CA applications. More extensive construction projects may require additional information contained in the application filing requirements (AFR) for pipeline projects.  The AFR also includes information requirements for obtaining wetland or waterway crossing permits from the Department of Natural Resources when coordinated reviews are required under Wis. Stat. §30.025.

Contact Michael Jaeger (608) 267-2546, MichaelJohn.Jaeger@wisconsin.gov with questions regarding the filing requirements for CA applications for natural gas pipelines.   (311 kb) Application Filing Requirements for Natural Gas Pipeline Construction Projects PSC 133.04 Lists the information needed for all CA applications.
