PennEast Pipeline Company, LLC

The PennEast Pipeline Company LLC recently filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) seven route deviations in New Jersey in PennEast’s contin-

ued effort to reduce impacts on endangered species and wetlands, maintain co-location with existing rights of way and address concerns expressed by landowners and regulators.

The route modifications further minimize environmental im-pacts through optimized co-location with existing electric transmission lines, wildlife habitat avoidance and reduced tree clearing. These deviations are important, because they reduce impacts and take into account stakeholder input, though from a project perspective, they do not materially af-fect the route since the changes occur either within the orig-inal survey corridor or do not impact any new landowners.

“We are continually reviewing the PennEast Pipeline Proj-ect, seeking ways to maximize benefits to the region by improving the route and reducing environmental impacts,” said Peter Terranova, chair of the PennEast board of man-agers. “The route changes filed today reflect the construc-tive feedback received from landowners, agencies and oth-er stakeholders and demonstrate PennEast’s commitment to incorporating their input where safely and logistically feasible. These route modifications bring area families and businesses another step closer to receiving reduced energy costs that also will help advance the region’s economy.”

Among the key highlights:• Reduced permanent impacts on forested wetlands

by 64 percent• Reduced impacts to endangered species, including

a known salamander habitat in Delaware Township• Incorporated 23 additional trenchless crossings to

reduce impacts to C1 waterways• Maintained co-location so that approximately half

the route in New Jersey runs adjacent to existing overhead electric transmission lines, as requested by public officials and regulators.

• On the Gravel Hill Preserve, PennEast worked di-rectly with PSE&G to place the line entirely within the cleared and decades-old existing right of way until exiting forested areas and reaching open space; a major step forward that significantly minimizes the need for tree clearing other than at the entry and exit points of the Preserve. Construction workspaces are all within PSE&G’s previously disturbed acreage.

• Additional overlap with PSE&G easements in New Jersey outside Gravel Hill will reduce PennEast’s permanent footprint from 50 feet to 35 feet, reducing the need for tree-clearing and workspace impacts.

Regarding the Gravel Hill Preserve in Holland Township, PennEast explored eight route alternatives based on regu-latory feedback that would identify responsible deviations, including both mandatory receipt points with the Gilbert electric generating station, and avoidance of the Preserve. Those alternatives required significant impacts to county roadways that made avoidance of the Preserve impracti-cal. Still, PennEast continued to work with stakeholders to explore viable options that reduce impacts on sensitive re-sources by overlapping with PSE&G easements. As a result of the latest deviation and despite its limited impact to the Preserve, new opportunities for open space preservation will still be created due to the state-required Green Acres mitigation process.

“This is a win-win in PennEast’s continued effort to balance environmental protection with the need for affordable natu-ral gas that will power the region’s future,” added Terrano-va. “In New Jersey, specifically, more open space will be available than exists today, even as PennEast nearly has eliminated permanent impacts across Gravel Hill thanks to the new alignment within most of the pathway of PSE&G’s power lines.”

Terranova added that landowners who have opted to avoid work-ing with PennEast are missing a key oppor-tunity to help shape the best route pos-sible and to collabo-rate on minimizing impacts. “PennEast continues to welcome constructive landown-er engagement, and encourages landowners to contact their PennEast repre-sentative.”

On July 22, FERC released its Draft Environmental Im-pact Statement (EIS), which acknowledged environmental impacts from PennEast’s construction “would be reduced to less-than-significant levels,” and that no other pipeline could meet the capacity needs that the PennEast Pipeline is designed to meet.

More than 90 percent of the PennEast Pipeline’s capacity is subscribed under long- term contracts, years before it is ap-proved or built. Dozens of business and labor organizations representing tens of thousands of employers and hundreds of thousands of employees across both states also support construction of the PennEast Pipeline.

Signs Construction Contract With Spring Ridge Constructors

Atlantic Coast Pipeline

• Spring Ridge Constructors, LLC will be lead construction contractor of proposed 600-mile pipeline project

• Firm is joint venture of four leading U.S. natural gas pipeline construction companies

• Contract represents significant milestone for proposed project

• Thousands of workers expected to be hired from West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina

Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC, which has proposed a 600-mile natural gas transmission pipeline to bring much-need-ed energy to Virginia and North Carolina, announced it has signed a construction contract with Spring Ridge Construc-tors, LLC, a joint venture of leading natural gas pipeline construction companies. Comprised of Price Gregory In-ternational, Inc., a Quanta Services, Inc. company; U.S. Pipeline, Inc.; SMPC, LLC; and Rockford Corporation, a Primoris Services Corporation company, the joint venture will serve as the Atlantic Coast Pipeline's lead construction contractor.

Pending approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Com-mission (FERC), the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) would run from Harrison County, W.Va., southeast through Vir-ginia with a lateral extension to Chesapeake, Va., and then south through eastern North Carolina to Robeson County. If approved, construction is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2017. According to economic impact studies conducted in 2015, the project's construction is expected to generate more than 17,000 jobs, $2.7 billion in total economic activ-ity and $4.2 million in average annual tax revenue for cities and counties in the project area.

SRC was selected as the most-qualified contractor for the project after an extensive, competitive bidding process conducted by Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC. The four SRC companies account for a significant portion of the large-diameter natural gas pipeline construction spread capacity

in the U.S."We are excited to work with SRC, which has assembled four of the nation's leading and most-qualified pipeline builders for this project," said Diane Leopold, pres-ident of Dominion Energy. "These companies have exten-sive experience in building large-scale, complex projects like the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, and their commitment to safe construction practices and best-in-class standards align with our expectations for the project."

"The selection of our lead construction contractor is an-other significant milestone for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline and represents one more step toward making this project a reality and securing the energy future of our region," Leo-pold added.

"SRC is pleased to have been selected by ACP as the constructor of this vital project which serves to strength-en the nation's energy infrastructure," said Dan Plume, SRC project director. "The members of SRC are aligned in purpose with the common goals of safe construction practices, a commitment to environmental stewardship and quality construction. The SRC team leads the indus-try with a combined 200 years of expertise and leadership in the construction of large diameter pipelines that encom-pass all regions and terrains across North America. We are also excited about the positive economic impact this project will have in communities across these three states, where SRC and its subcontractors expect to hire thou-sands of local workers and enlist the services of many local businesses."

In another significant milestone for the project, in early August FERC issued a Notice of Schedule, which estab-lished the timeline for the remainder of the project's federal environmental review process. Based on FERC's sched-ule, ACP expects to receive a FERC certificate in the late summer or fall of 2017, with construction beginning shortly thereafter. ACP anticipates completing construction and bringing the pipeline into service in late 2019. ACP is work-ing with its contractors to evaluate the possibility of bringing on more crews and working on more simultaneous spreads in order to complete construction sooner. This analysis is expected to be finalized over the next few months.

Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC is composed of four major U.S. energy companies – Dominion, Duke Energy, Piedmont Natural Gas and Southern Company Gas. The joint venture partners plan to build and own the $4.5 billion-to-$5 billion pipeline, which would help meet the growing clean energy needs of Virginia and North Carolina by providing direct access to low-cost, abundant supplies of natural gas being produced in the nearby Marcellus and Utica shale basins of West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio.


PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES ANR Pipeline has approval from the FERC to proceed with the Collierville Expansion Project. The project would ex-pand the delivery capability of the existing Collierville Meter Station by an additional 200,000 dekatherms per day, en-abling ANR to provide requested service to the Tennessee Valley Authority’s pending Allen Combined Cycle Power Plant in Memphis, Tennessee. The project would consist of the following: a new Collierville Compressor Station containing one 4,700 horsepower gas turbine compres-sor unit and ancillary equipment, including an emergency generator unit, a condensate tank, new control building, and compressor building; suction and discharge intercon-nect station piping; and upgrades to the existing Collierville Meter Station.

Canyon Midstream Partners, LLC announced the ex-pansion of its James Lake Midstream System into Win-kler County, Texas. With additional compression Canyon Midstream’s new field facility in Kermit, Texas, they plan to construct a 22-mile trunkline extension capable of deliver-ing up to 60 million cubic feet per day to the James Lake plant for treating and processing. The James Lake system currently consists of a 110 MMcf/d cryogenic gas process-ing plant in Ector County, Texas, and eight field compres-

sor stations, 90 miles of high-pressure trunkline and 90 miles of low-pressure gathering lines in Ector, Andrews and Winkler counties, Texas.

Columbia Gas Transmission has an application before the FERC seeking authority for the WB Xpress Project which includes construction of approximately 29.2 miles of various diameter pipeline, modifications to seven existing compressor stations, construction of two new compressor stations, and uprating the maximum allowable operating pressure on various segments of Columbia’s existing Line WB and Line VB natural gas transmission systems. The WB Xpress Project facilities are designed to expand the capacity of Columbia’s existing system to transport up to approximately 1.3 million dekatherms per day of natural gas. Facilities to be constructed or uprated are located in Clay, Kanawha, Grant, Upshur, Randolph, Pendleton, Braxton, and Hardy Counties, West Virginia and in Clark, Fauqui-er, Fairfax, Loudoun, Shenandoah, and Warren Counties, Virginia. Construction start is anticipated for winter of 2017.

PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES Utah Counties, Utah. To date, construction of the autho-rized Magnum Gas Storage Project (Magnum Project) has not commenced. The Amendment Project would result in the elimination and relocation of facilities within the origi-nal footprint of the Magnum Project. Specifically, Magnum would eliminate: brine evaporation pond 1; monitoring wells DA-1 and DA-2; and monitoring wells, GA-1, GA-2, GA-9, GA-10, and GA-11. Magnum would also relocate: four natural gas caverns; water wells 1 through 5; compression, dehydration, and pumping facilities; 4-inch gas supply line; maintenance and laydown area; office/warehouse building and substation; and site-wide utilities. Additionally, Mag-num would relocate a 6,252-foot-long segment of the 61.6-mile long, 36-inch-diameter Header pipeline, 63 feet north of the authorized alignment, west of Jones Road in Millard County, Utah. FERC is expected to issue an Environmental Assessment on the Amendment on July 29, 2016 with a final project decision slated for late October 2016.

Kinder Morgan Cochin LLC and Kinder Morgan Cochin ULC is expected to get underway with construction in November or December 2016 with the Utopia Pipeline project. The project involves construction of approximate-ly 215-miles of 12-inch diameter pipeline from Harrison

County, Ohio to Kinder Morgan’s existing pipeline and facil-ities in Fulton County, Ohio, where the company would then move product eastward to Windsor, Ontario, Canada. It is expected it will be constructed in three spreads – Spread 1 – 42 miles of 12-inch; Spread 2 – 78 miles of 12-inch; and Spread 3 103 miles of 12-inch. The Utopia system would transport previously refined or fractionated natural gas liq-uids, including ethane and ethane-propane mixtures

Millennium Pipeline Company awaits FERC approval for the Valley Lateral Project. A favorable Environmental As-sessment has been received from the FERC. Millennium proposes to construct 7.8-miles of 16-inch diameter later-al pipeline from Millennium’s existing mainline in Orange County, New York to the CPV Valley Energy Center. To date, the project still awaits FERC approval.

Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC and Equitrans, LP has re-ceived a favorable Draft Environmental Impact Statement from the FERC for the Mountain Valley Pipeline Project and the Equitrans Expansion Project. The Final Envi-ronmental Impact Statement from the FERC is expected in March 2017 with a final project decision slated for June 2017. The Mountain Valley Pipeline Project would consist

of about 301 miles of new 42-inch-diameter pipeline, be-ginning at the Mobley Interconnect and receipt meter sta-tion in Wetzel County, West Virginia, and terminating at the Transco Interconnect and delivery meter station at the ex-isting Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company Compres-sor Station 165 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. In addition, Mountain Valley intends to construct and operate three new compressor stations and other aboveground facili-ties. The Equitrans Expansion Project would consist of a total of about 8 miles of various diameter pipelines in six segments. These segments include the parallel 12-inch-diameter H-158 pipeline and 6-inch-diameter M-80 pipe-line extending about 0.2-mile each in Greene County, Pennsylvania; the 24-inch-diameter H-305 pipeline that would extend about 540 feet in Greene County; the 3-mile-long new 30-inch-diameter H-316 pipeline in Greene County; the 4.2-mile-long new 20-inch-diam-eter H-318 pipeline in Allegheny and Wash-ington Counties, Pennsylvania; and the new H-319 pipeline that would extend about 200 feet in Wetzel County, West Virginia. Eq-uitrans also proposes to abandon its exist-ing Pratt Compressor Station and replace it with the new Redhook Compressor Station in Greene County, Pennsylvania; and to con-struct and operate taps in Greene County and Washington County, Pennsylvania, and an interconnect and two taps in Wetzel County, West Virginia. If approved, construc-tion is anticipated to get underway in 2017.

Northern Natural Gas is proposing the Northern Lights 2017 Expansion project. The proposed project will consist of construc-tion and operation of approximately 4.8 miles of 8- and 12-inch diameter branch line loop extensions in Sherburne and Isanti Counties, Minnesota.

Issuance of the Environmental Assessment is expect-ed on November 9, 2016 with a final FERC project decision slated for February 7, 2017.

The staff of the FERC has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the NEXUS Gas Transmission (NGT) Proj-ect and Texas Eastern Appalachian Lease (TEAL) Project, proposed by NEXUS Gas Transmission, LLC and Texas Eastern Trans-mission, LP. NEXUS and Texas Eastern re-quest authorization to construct a new green-field pipeline and expand an existing pipeline system from the Appalachian Basin to deliver 1.5 million dekatherms per day to consum-

ing markets in Northern Ohio, Southeastern Michigan, and Ontario, Canada. DTE Gas Company and Vector Pipeline L.P. are requesting approval to lease capacity on their sys-tems to NEXUS. The Draft EIS assesses the potential en-vironmental effects of the construction and operation of the projects in accordance with the requirements of the Na-tional Environmental Policy Act. The FERC staff concludes that approval of the projects would result in some adverse environmental impacts; however, most of these impacts would be reduced to less-than-significant levels with the implementation of NEXUS’s and Texas Eastern’s proposed mitigation measures and the additional recommendations

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP has an application be-fore the FERC seeking approval for its proposed Marshall County Mine Panel 17W Project. Texas Eastern proposes to excavate and elevate sections of four natural gas transmission pipelines Lines 10, 15, 25, and 30 to monitor potential strains on the pipeline sections due to anticipated longwall mining activities of Marshall Coal in Marshall County, West Virginia. Prior to elevation, portions of two of the lines, Lines 10 and 15, will be replaced with new pipe to accommodate a mini-mum of a Class 2 design. To minimize impacts to wetlands, all but two, approximately 140 and 85-foot sections of Lines 10 and 15 will be removed during the elevation and replacement work. Texas Eastern will also perform maintenance activities

on sections of Lines 25 and 30. The four mainline sections will be returned to natural gas service while remaining elevated using sandbags and skids until the longwall mining activities have been completed. Once the mining activities have been completed, the two sections of Lines 10 and 15 located within wetlands will be removed and the four elevated pipeline sec-tions will be reinstalled belowground, hydrostatically tested, and placed back into service. The project is expected to be completed and all pipeline segments returned to service by September 1, 2018.

PFERD, Inc.

On October 7th PFERD INC, the Milwaukee-based manufacturer of premium brushes, abrasives and power tools will showcase the value, intricacy, and essential “coolness” of modern manufacturing.

PFERD INC, a global leader in the manufacture of premium quality brushes, abrasives and power tools, will host a Manu-facturing Day event on October 7, 2016 from 9:00-11:30 a.m. at its Milwaukee facility located at 9201 W. Heather Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53224.

Manufacturing Day is a celebration of modern manufacturing meant to inspire the next generation of manufacturers. Although Manufac-turing Day officially occurs on the first Friday in October—any day can be a Manufacturing Day.

“Manufacturing Day addresses common misperceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show, in a coordinated effort, what manufacturing is — and what it isn’t,” says Gene Huegin, president, “It’s PFERD’s chance to positively influence students and those around us to the importance and value of manufacturing.”

Open to middle, high and technical schools, PFERD will showcase the work of its manufacturing plant as well as its other operations such as finance, research and development, marketing and sales

which all play an integral part in the entire manufacturing process.

SECTION TITLE

Velocity Midstream Partners, LLC announced that Velocity Central Oklahoma Pipeline LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Velocity Mid-stream, has entered into definitive agreements with a subsidiary of CVR Refining, LP, related to Velocity's construction of a crude oil pipeline and terminal directly linking the fairway of the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province ("SCOOP") to CVR Refining's Wyn-newood, Oklahoma, refinery.

CVR Refining will hold a 40 percent stake in the newly formed joint venture, Velocity Pipeline Partners, LLC, and it will contract with VPP for transportation services. Velocity will act as manager of the joint venture and operate the pipelines following the completion of the pipeline's construction.

In addition to the Wynnewood refinery, which has a rated capacity of 70,000 barrels per calendar day (bpcd), CVR Refining also owns and operates a crude oil refinery in Coffeyville, Kansas, with a rated ca-pacity of 115,000 bpcd. The Wynnewood refinery is located in close proximity to the SCOOP play and the Cushing hub. Velocity's new crude oil project provides the Wynnewood refinery with direct pipe-line access to SCOOP production. The new pipeline also enables producers in the SCOOP to segregate their heavier crude barrels, produced from the Springer and Woodford oil formations, from their lighter barrels, produced from the Woodford condensate formation.

Velocity also expects to commence a subsequent crude oil pipe-line project looping the majority of Velocity's existing pipeline. The loop will provide producers crude oil segregation along the entire SCOOP fairway, further reducing crude trucking costs. This forth-coming project will allow Velocity to leverage its existing footprint, multi-line rights of way and construction and operations teams to quickly and cost-effectively construct the second pipeline and ex-panded terminal facilities. In addition to the construction of crude transportation pipelines and terminals, Velocity will continue to build out gathering laterals and injection stations to better serve SCOOP producers.

Once completed, the addition of Velocity's VPP pipeline and crude oil loop will allow producers to gather and transport crude oil and condensate from points in Grady, Stephens, Garvin, McClain and Carter counties to both the Wynnewood refinery and the Cushing Hub, where CVR Refining maintains significant market outlets, crude storage and pipeline access to its Coffeyville refinery. CVR Refining also owns and operates significant crude oil logistics as-sets throughout the SCOOP play. The construction of this new crude pipeline allows the company to further optimize those logis-tical resources. Additionally, the pipeline will add flow assurance in inclement weather as well as reduce traffic and provide other benefits to producers.

"We are excited to undertake this project with CVR Refining to add a crude oil pipeline project to our existing pipeline assets in the SCOOP," said Rick Wilkerson, Velocity's chief executive officer. "The Woodford and Springer crude is attractive to Midcontinent refiners and, coupled with the reduction in crude transportation costs, pro-vides the producers in SCOOP with very strong and reliable markets."

"CVR Refining currently purchases significant volumes of SCOOP production by way of its wholly owned truck gathering fleet and the addition of this new pipeline provides the opportunity to further en-hance crude supply to our Wynnewood refinery," said Jack Lipinski, chief executive officer of CVR Refining. "We are pleased to partner with the experienced team at Velocity on this project and look for-ward to working with them on future endeavors."

In 2015, Velocity completed construction of a 100,000 barrel per day light oil pipeline through the entire core of the SCOOP play for one of the SCOOP's largest producers. Producers in the SCOOP target the Springer and Woodford shale across parts of a multiple-county area located south and southwest of Oklahoma City. Ve-locity's multi-pipeline corridor through the fairway of the SCOOP allows it to reach more than 400,000 proved gross acres of the Woodford formation and more than 200,000 proved gross acres of the Springer formation, all of which are located within less than 10 miles of the pipeline corridor.

With more room to weld, fewer start-stops and 100 percent root bead application, the Tie-In Reforming Clamp yields stronger welds, increased efficiency and improved safety. Plus, the new Add-A-Dog feature makes it the only product in the industry capable of three essential functions: tie-ins, reforming and fabrication.

For Papa Don, his family was the most important part of his life. Smitty was "always up to something" bringing tremen-dous laughter to every situation. Anyone who "encoun-tered" Don Smith could never forget him - there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for those who touched his heart.
