Bertram 1st Addn. in Government Lot 6 within the Northwest Quarter of Section 31, Township 98 North, Range 63 West, Charles Mix County, South Dakota.

Application by NorthWestern Energy for approval of a contract with deviation and associated tariff changes for the provision of natural gas service to Millenium Ethanol, L.L.C. The Customer is a large volume user (over 10,000 MMBtu per day) and would normally be served under the transportation tariff rate 87. However, it is required that approximately 32 miles of pipeline be built to serve this customer. Under the proposed Contract, the Customer's contribution for the Company's investment in line extensions necessary to be constructed to serve the Customer is the "deviation" from such Tariff.
