We are working with the key agencies to resolve the issues in FERC’s order so we can resume construction as soon as possible. We are confident these issues can be resolved quickly without causing unnecessary delay to the project.

FERC has given us the opportunity to provide evidence of any portions of the project that serve an independent public need and are not impacted by the recent court rulings. We will respond with strong evidence demonstrating the independent public need to pro-ceed with construction of the Supply Header project, as well as por-tions of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline in West Virginia, eastern Virginia and North Carolina. These portions of the project will serve home heating and manufacturing needs in eastern Virginia and North Carolina and are not affected by recent court rulings.

With respect to the National Park Service approval to cross the Blue Ridge Parkway, we are already working with the agency to correct the errors and omissions identified by the court. We believe the agency can promptly reissue the permit based on the extensive public record and mitigation measures already in place.

With respect to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, we have already provided the agency with all of the information necessary to issue a revised Incidental Take Statement. We anticipate the agency will do so shortly.

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline has been the most thoroughly reviewed infrastructure project in the history of our region. The recent action by the courts and FERC are further evidence of this unprecedented scrutiny and the high standard that is being applied to this project.

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline is critical to the economic and environ-mental future of our region, and we are working as quickly as we can to get construction back underway and avoid unnecessary de-lays. Public utilities in our region are depending on this infrastruc-ture to meet the real and urgent needs of the millions of customers they serve.

Delaying this infrastructure will force consumers and businesses to pay higher energy costs. It will slow down the transition to cleaner energy, and it will deprive public utilities of the reliable energy they need to heat the homes of a growing population and power local businesses.

Trans Mountain Expansion ProjectContractors Selected

Modified Stop Work Order Issued

Trans Mountain has selected seven contractors to lead construc-tion of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, which includes work on 980 kilometres of pipeline and all associated facilities.

In addition to leading construction on their portions of the Project, the contractors will directly hire the individuals and sub-contrac-tors needed for each contract and scope of work in accordance with our commitment to maximize employment opportunities for Indigenous, local and regional communities.

The selected contractors all bring unique and extensive skill sets specific to their regions and responsibilities.

SA Energy Group is the general contractor for portions of pipe-line construction in Greater Edmonton (Spread 1), a portion of the North Thompson region (Spread 4B) and the Fraser Valley (Spread 6). A 50/50 General Partnership between Robert B. Somerville Co. Ltd. and Aecon Utilities, a division of Aecon Con-struction Group Inc., the group has substantial experience with large diameter pipeline construction and is an active member of the Pipeline Contractors Association of Canada. Midwest Pipelines Inc. is the contractor for the Yellowhead por-tion of the Project between Edmonton, AB and Jasper National Park (Spread 2) . Midwest’s executive and operational manage-ment team has more than 160 years of combined experience in pipeline construction, project management, and pipeline integrity work and specialty fabrication. The Ledcor Sicim Limited Partnership brings more than 120 years of pipeline experience, with a particular focus on challenging

mountainous terrain, to their role as contractor for the majority of the North Thompson portion of the Project (Spreads 3 and 4A).

Surerus Murphy Joint Venture, the contractor for the BC Interior portion of the Project between Black Pines and the Coquihalla Summit (Spread 5A), has a history of delivering large pipeline projects in challenging conditions.

Macro Spiecapag Joint Venture brings more than 90 years of experience in 60-plus countries building over 50,000 km of pipe-line, to the Project. This includes extensive experience in steep mountainous terrain making them well suited to the exceptional topography and engineering challenges of the Coquihalla-Hope portion of the Project for which they are responsible (Spread 5B). The contractor for the Lower Mainland - including the Westridge Marine Terminal, Burnaby Terminal and Tunnel, the Sumas Ter-minal, and pipeline from Langley to Burnaby (Spread 7) - Kiewit Ledcor TMEP Partnership has extensive experience and a proven track record finding solutions to minimize impacts on people af-fected by construction activities.

WorleyParsonsCord WorleyParsonsCord is the contractor responsible for the Ed-monton Terminal and all 12 pump stations included in the Trans Mountain Expansion Project. They have some of the most exten-sive experience in such construction in Western Canada, having completed more than 50 similar pump stations and work on termi-nals that includes more than 30 million barrels of storage.

Work is getting underway.

Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC released the following statement on August 16, 2018 and background information in response to the modified stop work order issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on August 15, 2018, for the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) project. The modification allows construction to re-start for approximately 77 miles of the route in West Virginia, with exception of a 7-mile area located in proximity to the Weston Gauley Bridge Turnpike Trail. However, because of the continued work stop-page order that impacts more than 200 miles of the project’s route, MVP has released as much as 50% of its construction workforce.

“Despite the construction activities authorized under the modified work order and the FERC-approved stabilization plan, MVP was forced to take immediate measures to address an idled workforce and protect the integrity of the project. MVP is working to mitigate any additional job loss; and we believe we are making progress to receive authori-zation to resume full construction activities and return the currently released workers back to their jobs. Constructing the Mountain Valley Pipeline in the safest manner possible; minimizing impacts to sensi-tive species and environmental, cultural, and historic resources; and ensuring the highest levels of environmental protection remain our top priorities. As we continue working closely with the agencies to clarify and resolve the issues related to the stop work order, we appreciate the FERC’s responsible review and consideration of the modified work order and look forward to continuing the safe construction of this important infrastructure project.”

The August 3, 2018, stop work order was issued following a federal court of appeals ruling regarding the adequacy of permits for a 3.5-mile right-of-way in the Jefferson National Forest (JNF) issued by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), relating to sedimentation controls; and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), relating to the imprac-ticality of alternative routes. Those permits apply to only approxi-mately 1% of MVP’s overall 303-mile project route and MVP had previously halted construction work in the JNF on July 27, 2018. As FERC noted in its stop work order, “There is no reason to believe that the Forest Service or the Army Corps of Engineers, as the land managing agencies, or the BLM, as the federal rights of grantor, will not be able to comply with the Court’s instructions and to ultimately issue new right-of-way grants that satisfy the Court’s requirements.”

MVP remains committed to the earliest possible in-service date; however, under current circumstances a full in-service is now ex-pected during the fourth quarter 2019. MVP will continue daily evaluations of its construction plan and provide updates as the regulatory process progress.

PROJECT TAKES ACTION TO MANAGE RELATED AND ONGOING CONSEQUENCES

Mountain Valley Pipeline

ONEOKPreparing for Elk Creek Pipeline Construction

ONEOK, Inc. is invest-ing approximately $1.4 billion to construct a new pipeline, and re-lated infrastructure, to transport natural gas liquids (NGLs) from the Rocky Mountain re-gion to the company's existing Mid-Continent NGL facilities.

The Elk Creek Pipeline – an approximately 900-mile, 20-inch diameter pipeline that is expected to be completed by the end of 2019 – will have the capacity to transport up to 240,000 barrels per day (bpd) of unfractionated NGLs from near the company's Riverview terminal in eastern Montana to Bushton, Kansas. The Elk Creek Pipeline is expected to cost approximately $1.2 bil-lion, with related infrastructure costs expected to total approxi-mately $200 million. The pipeline will have the capability to be expanded to 400,000 bpd with additional pump facilities.

"The existing Bakken NGL and Overland Pass Pipelines are operating at full capacity. Additional NGL takeaway capacity is critical to meeting the needs of producers who are increas-ing production and are required to meet natural gas capture targets in the Williston Basin," said Terry K. Spencer, ONEOK president and chief executive officer. "The Elk Creek Pipeline will strengthen ONEOK's position in the high-production areas of the Bakken, Powder River and Denver-Julesburg regions and also provide additional reliability and redundancy on our NGL system."

According to reports right-of-way clearing and grading are get-ting underway in preparation for construction of the pipeline.

The Elk Creek Pipeline is anchored by long-term contracts with terms ranging between 10 to 15 years totaling approximately 100,000 bpd, which is supported primarily by minimum volume commitments.

PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES Dominion Energy Transmission has received a Notice of Environmental Schedule Review from the FERC for the proposed Sweden Valley Project. The project will include construction of: approximately 1.7 miles 20 inch pipeline lateral to the new Port Washington Metering and Regula-tion (M&R) delivery point in Tuscarawas County, OH; ap-proximately 3.2 miles of 24-inch pipeline looping in Greene County, PA; the re-wheel of compressors on three existing centrifugal compression sets at Dominion’s existing Newark Compressor Station in Licking County, OH; the installation of regulation equipment at Dominion existing South Bend Compressor Station in Armstrong County, PA and Leidy M&R Station in Clinton County, PA; and the construction of related appurtenant facilities. Dominion is proposing in-cremental rates for transportation service on the facilities proposed for construction herein. The cost of the project will be $49,876,709 million. If approved, the project will begin construction in early 2019 and will complete in late 2019.

Empire Pipeline, Inc., a subsidiary of National Fuel Gas Company, has received from the FERC Issuance of the Environmental Assessment for the Empire North Project. The company is seeking authorization to construct two new compression stations, one in the Town of Farmington,

N.Y., and the other in Jackson Township, PA, along with minor facility modifications to its existing Jackson Meter & Regulator Station and its existing New Victor Regula-tor Station, located in Jackson Township, PA, and Victor, N.Y. The Empire North Project consists of: installation of new electric motor-driven natural gas compressor facility off Hook Road on two tax parcels that total approximately 92.4 acres in the Town of Farmington, Ontario County, N.Y.; installation of new turbine-driven natural gas com-pression facility on two parcels that total approximately 42.2 acres off Buckwheat Hollow Road and Stateline Road in Jackson Township, Tioga County, PA; minor modifica-tions to existing New Victor Regulator Station, located off Valentown Road in Victor, N.Y.; minor modifications to the existing Jackson Meter and Regulator Station, located in Jackson Township, Tioga County, PA; and uprate of Maxi-mum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) of the exist-ing Empire Connector Pipeline (ECP) that runs from Vic-tor, N.Y. to Corning, N.Y. from 1290 psig to 1440 psig, in accordance with federal pipeline safety regulations. The proposed uprate is not expected to require any construc-tion-related activities. The project has a targeted in-service date of November 2019.

Adelphia Gateway, LLC has received approval from the FERC for its proposed existing 84-mile, 18-inch mainline and 4.5-mile, 20-inch lateral gas pipeline, and existing appurtenant and auxiliary facilities, converting a portion of these existing facilities from dual oil and gas intrastate transportation service to solely natural gas transportation service; and construction of additional new facilities includ-ing two compressor stations totaling 11,250 horsepower, two pipeline laterals totaling 4.6 miles extending from the planned Marcus Hook Compressor Station to interconnec-tions in Chester, Delaware County, Pennsylvania and Clay-mont, New Castle County, Delaware, and various M&R sta-tions. Project is anticipated to be completed in late 2018.

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has prepared a favorable Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Calcasieu Pass LNG Project. The proposed project would include a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal and 23.4 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The terminal would include the following facilities: liquefaction facilities; two full-containment LNG aboveground storage tanks, each with a usable capacity of approximately 200,000 cubic meters; a 720 megawatt electric generating plant; a marine terminal

consisting of a turning basin and LNG carrier berths; LNG piping; transfer lines; loading facilities; and other infrastruc-ture. The pipeline would include the following facilities: one meter station; three mainline valves; one pipeline inspec-tion/cleaning device launcher at the meter station; and one pipeline inspection/cleaning device receiver on the terminal site. The FERC staff concludes that construction and op-eration of the project would result in some adverse envi-ronmental impacts, but these impacts would be reduced to less-than-significant levels.

Columbia Gas Transmission has filed a formal application with the FERC seeking to construct the Buckeye Xpress Project. The proposed project would include replacement of approximately 64 miles of existing, aging 20-inch and 24-inch natural gas pipeline from Vinton, Ohio, to Burling-ton, Ohio, on a portion of Columbia’s R-System. Columbia proposes to replace the existing pipeline potentially with 36-inch-diameter pipeline necessary to provide 275,000 Dth/d of additional firm capacity for the project. Upon com-pletion, the replaced line will be known as R-801. Columbia is proposing to place the project into service in November 2020. A phased in-service approach may be considered once customer negotiations are complete.

ning to commit up to 500,000 Dth/d to the project. Apache will also have the option to acquire equity from the initial partners. KMTP will build and operate the pipeline. In ad-dition, KMTP and EagleClaw will hold an open season for capacity on the PHP Project. The open season begins on August 10, 2018.

Medallion Pipeline Company, LLC announced the suc-cessful closing of its binding open season for a major expansion of its existing crude oil pipeline system in the Midland Basin (the “Expansion”). As previously announced, Medallion will expand six segments of its pipeline system to transport increased quantities of crude oil, produced form acreage proximate to Medallion’s system, to downstream pipelines and markets. Based on the capacity bids received during the open season, Medallion has received long-term binding commitments sufficient to move forward with the construction of the Expansion. The Expansion is expected to commence commercial operations in phases, with full commercial operations occurring during the fourth quarter of 2019. Because of the interest expressed by potential shippers during the open season, and based on ongoing discussions with potential shippers, Medallion is conduct-ing a supplemental open season to solicit additional bind-

ing long-term commitments for expanded capacity. The supplemental open season is subject to the same terms and conditions as originally proposed in the open season. The supplemental open season maintains the same trans-portation options, the same origin and destination points, the same rates and provides the same options for existing committed shippers as proposed in the open season. The supplemental open season will open on August 16, 2018, and will close as of 4 PM CDT on August 22, 2018.

A subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. an-nounced the successful conclusion of the recent open sea-son for its Cactus II Pipeline, a new pipeline system with an initial capacity of 585,000 barrels per day extending from the Permian Basin to the Corpus Christi/Ingleside area. Cactus II pipeline capacity is fully committed with long-term third-party shipper contracts totaling 525,000 barrels per day, composed of 425,000 barrels per day of long-term minimum volume commitments and an additional 100,000 barrels per day of commitments associated with long-term acreage dedications. Approximately 60,000 barrels per day is reserved for walk-up shippers. Affiliates of certain third-party contracted shippers have options (exercisable no later than mid-2018) to participate as joint venture partners for up to 35% of Cactus II. PAA is expected to retain 65% ownership and will serve as operator. The Cactus II pipeline system will have origination points at Orla, Wink, Midland, Crane and McCamey, Texas and will be capable of trans-porting multiple quality segregations. The system includes a combination of capacity on existing pipelines and two new 26-inch pipelines and is expandable to approximately 670,000 barrels per day through the addition of incremental pumping capacity. The first new pipeline will extend from Wink to McCamey, TX, and the second new pipeline (which

is expected to be owned within the Joint Venture) will ex-tend from McCamey to the Corpus Christi/Ingleside area, and have flexibility to access multiple docks. Permitting, right-of-way and procurement activities are underway, and the pipeline system is targeted to be operational in the third quarter of 2019.

Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. will construct the Sun-rise Expansion Project. The Partnership plans to extend its Sunrise Pipeline system, which currently originates at Midland and connects with Colorado City, by building ap-proximately 180-miles of 24-inch pipeline from Colorado City, TX to Wichita Falls, TX. The balance of the capacity will be provided by a combination of spare capacity and capacity enhancements to existing pipelines, which include capacity expansions to our Delaware Basin system of up to 200,000 barrels per day. The pipeline system will deliver to Plains' and third-party terminals in Cushing, OK. Subject to timely receipt of necessary permits and regulatory approv-als, the additional capacity is expected to be operational in early to mid-2019.

Port Arthur Pipeline, LLC, a subsidiary of Sempra LNG & Midstream, is proposing to develop a natural gas pipeline

have a capacity of 175,000 bbl/day and have ethane, pro-pane and y-grade service, Permico said. This pipeline will terminate at the Markham storage facility. Construction will start in the second quarter of 2018, and operations should start in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Phillips 66 Partners announced that it has received suf-ficient binding commitments on an initial open season to proceed with construction of the Gray Oak Pipeline sys-tem. The Gray Oak Pipeline will provide crude oil trans-portation from West Texas to destinations in the Corpus Christi and Sweeny/Freeport markets. Origination sta-tions will be constructed in Reeves, Loving, Winkler, and Crane counties in West Texas, as well as from locations in the Eagle Ford production area in South Texas. The pipeline is expected to be placed in service by the end of 2019, and is backed by long-term, third-party, take-or-pay commitments with primarily investment-grade customers. Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC, a joint venture owned 75 percent by Phillips 66 Partners and 25 percent by Andeavor, will own the pipeline system. Other third parties, including En-bridge Inc., have an option to acquire up to 32.75 percent interest in the joint venture. If all options are exercised, Phillips 66 Partners’ ownership would be 42.25 percent

and Andeavor’s ownership would remain 25 percent. Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC received enough volume commitments in the form of precedent agreements to hold a second binding open season. This open season provides an op-portunity for additional shippers to enter into transporta-tion services agreements that provide long-term crude oil transportation on the Gray Oak Pipeline. The ultimate scope and capacity of the pipeline will depend on the out-come of the second open season. Subject to the results of the open season, the Gray Oak Pipeline could transport up to 700,000 barrels per day or more of crude oil from the Permian Basin to downstream markets. Assuming the pipeline is fully subscribed, its capacity could ultimately be expanded to approximately 1 million barrels per day of long-haul takeaway. In Corpus Christi, the Gray Oak Pipe-line will connect to a new joint venture marine terminal under development by Buckeye Partners, L.P. Buckeye will have a 50 percent interest in the terminal joint venture and will be the operator, while Phillips 66 Partners and Andeavor each will have a 25 percent ownership interest. The terminal will have an initial storage capacity of 3.4 million barrels and is expected to begin operations by the end of 2019.

in connection with the proposed development of the Port Arthur Liquefaction Project by Port Arthur LNG, LLC, and PALNG Common Facilities in Jefferson County, Texas. The Texas Connector Project will be comprised of two seg-ments totaling 34.2 miles of new 42-inch diameter pipeline and approximately 4.65 miles of variable diameter lateral pipelines. The 26.6 mile northern pipeline segment will transport gas from interconnections with Houston Pipeline Company, Texas Eastern Transmission, and Florida Gas Transmission Company. This northern segment will also interconnect with underground natural gas storage facili-ties at the Golden Triangle Storage and Centana Intrastate Pipeline, LLC facilities in Jefferson County, Texas. The 7.6 mile southern pipeline segment extending south from the Liquefaction Project will interconnect with the existing pipe-line systems of Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America and Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline Company in Cam-eron Parish, Louisiana. The Texas Connector Project will be capable of delivering approximately 2,000,000 million British thermal units (“MMBtu”) per day of natural gas to the Liquefaction Project. The northern pipeline segment will be located in Orange and Jefferson Counties, Texas, and the southern segment in Jefferson County, Texas and Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The pipeline will also pass

through the jurisdictional boundaries of the cities of Beau-mont and Port Arthur, Texas. Approximately one mile of the south segment will be installed under Sabine Pass ship-ping channel via horizontal directional drilling. Port Arthur Pipeline proposes to construct two compressor stations, one for the south pipeline segment and one for the north pipeline segment. The major compressor station equip-ment will be comprised of compressors with either natu-ral gas or electric drivers, suction scrubbers upstream of the compressors, electric motor-driven natural gas coolers downstream of the compressors, unit and station blow-downs with silencers, above and below ground piping and valves, and system utilities. The meter stations will con-sist of unmanned facilities containing a meter and regula-tor building, pig launcher/receiver assemblies, meter and control valve skid, separator, condensate tank, associated above and below ground piping, and valve fixtures to tie-in to the two proposed pipeline segments. Construction is ex-pected to begin in the third quarter of 2021, with commer-cial operations expected to begin in third quarter of 2022. On October 16, 2017, Port Arthur Pipeline filed another application requesting a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the Louisiana Connector Project, au-thorizing Port Arthur Pipeline to construct, own, and oper-

ate additional new proposed Liquefaction Facility south of Port Arthur in Jefferson County, Texas. The Louisiana Connector Project will be capable of delivering approximately 2,000,000 MMBtu per day of natural gas to the Liquefaction Project. The Louisiana Connector Project, along with the Texas Connector Project facilities proposed in this proceeding, will be the primary means of delivery of feed gas to the Liquefaction Project. The an-ticipated construction start date is 1st quarter of 2021 with in-service slated for 3rd quarter 2022.The Louisiana Connector Project will include 131 miles of 42-inch diameter gas pipeline, a new compressor station, interconnection facilities with interstate and intrastate natural gas facilities, and other appurtenant facilities. The proposed Louisi-ana Connector Project facilities will extend from an interconnect with Columbia Gas Transmission (MP 130.9) located northeast of Eunice, Louisiana in St. Landry Parish through Evangeline, Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, and Cameron Parishes in Louisiana and Jefferson County, Texas and termi-nate at the proposed Liquefaction Facility south of Port Arthur in Jefferson County, Texas. The Louisi-ana Connector Project, along with the Texas Con-nector Project facilities proposed in this proceed-ing, will be the primary means of delivery of feed gas to the Liquefaction Project. Both projects are needed to provide service to the Liquefaction Proj-ect and will allow flexible access to multiple sup-ply basins and systems of upstream transporters.

PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES Combined, the projects will give more gas sellers access to Port Arthur LNG and Port Arthur LNG access to more supply basins.

The proposed Port Arthur Pipeline Project would consist of two segments oriented north and south of the proposed liquefaction project. The 27.6-mile northern portion of the proposed pipeline project would extend from Vidor in Or-ange County, TX to the proposed liquefaction project, with the majority of the proposed pipeline co-located with exist-ing energy infrastructure rights-of-way. The approximately 7-mile southern portion of the proposed pipeline project would originate in Cameron Parish, Louisiana on the east bank of Sabine Lake and terminate at the Port Arthur Liq-uefaction Project. The proposed pipeline project would interconnect the Port Arthur Liquefaction Project to vari-ous intra- and interstate pipelines, providing access to a number of major U.S. natural gas supply basins. Construc-tion is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2021, with commercial operations expected to begin in third quarter of 2022.

San Mateo Black River Oil Pipeline, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of San Mateo Midstream, LLC, recently held a binding open season to gauge shipper interest in committed crude oil interstate transportation service on the Rustler Breaks Pipeline Project, a proposed approxi-mately 17-mile, 10-inch diameter crude petroleum gathering and transportation system to be constructed and operated by San Mateo from certain points of origin in Eddy County, New Mexico to an interconnect with Plains Pipeline, L.P. in Eddy County, New Mexico. This open season provided an opportunity for shippers to support the project by making acreage dedications and volume commitments for priority (firm) service, or acreage dedications for non-firm commit-ted service, thereby becoming committed shippers for the term of their transportation services agreements. The final volume of capacity for both committed and uncommitted service on the project will be determined by San Mateo in part based on the results of this open season.

Tallgrass Energy, LP announced an open season solicit-ing binding shipper commitments for crude oil transporta-tion service on the Seahorse Pipeline. The proposed Sea-horse Pipeline is expected to be 30 inches in diameter and approximately 700 miles long, with the capacity to transport up to 800,000 barrels of crude oil per day from the Cush-ing oil hub to the Louisiana Gulf Coast. The pipeline will operate as a multi-grade common batch system that, along with Tallgrass’ Pony Express Pipeline, will ensure domestic refiners and international markets have access to “neat” barrels from five different production basins. Seahorse is expected to start commercial operations in the third quar-ter of 2021. In addition, to accommodate shipper interest and continued growth in the Powder River, Denver-Jules-

burg and Bakken producing regions, Tallgrass expects to complete pump optimization projects to expand capacity on its Pony Express Pipeline to enable it to transport up to 400,000 barrels per day by the end of the year. If ship-per interest exceeds that added capacity, Tallgrass may expand the Pony Express Pipeline further through po-tential additional horsepower and/or looping to facilitate

large-scale movements from Guernsey and northeast Colorado. The Seahorse open season runs through Oct. 1.

Tallgrass Energy, LP and Silver Creek Midstream, LLC announced a binding open season soliciting additional ship-per commitments for Niobrara (API 34 – 42) crude oil trans-portation service on the Iron Horse Pipeline. The system is designed to add additional grades of crude oil as nec-essary. Iron Horse, which has secured a 10-year producer-supported committed transportation contract for 15,000 bar-rels per day, is under construction and currently expected to start commercial operations by Feb. 1, 2019, with an initial capacity of approximately 100,000 barrels per day that is expandable to approximately 200,000 barrels per day. The Iron Horse Pipeline is not dependent upon the results of this open season to begin commercial operations. Iron Horse is a joint venture between Tallgrass and Silver Creek to trans-port crude oil from the growing Powder River Basin to the Guernsey, Wyo., oil hub. The approximately 80-mile, 16-inch Iron Horse pipeline will consist of 40 miles of new-build and 40 miles of gas-to-oil conversion pipe. At Guernsey, ship-pers will have access to the Tallgrass Pony Express Pipeline and other pipelines accessible through Tallgrass Terminals’ Guernsey Terminal, which is under construction and expect-ed to start commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2018. The approximately 250-mile Silver Creek Gathering System is also currently under construction and the com-pany has secured multiple long-term commitments for crude oil gathering and transportation services. The System’s 16-inch trunkline is expected to have an initial capacity of ap-proximately 100,000 barrels per day and is expandable up to 200,000 barrels per day and will connect to the Iron Horse Pipeline at Silver Creek’s Midway Terminal in Converse County. The Silver Creek Gathering System is expected to be in service by Feb. 1, 2019. The Iron Horse open season runs through August 17, 2018.

Targa Resources Corp. NextEra Energy Pipeline Hold-ings, LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Nex-tEra Energy Resources, LLC; WhiteWater Midstream, LLC, a portfolio company of Denham Capital Management and Ridgemont Energy Partners; and MPLX LP), announced the execution of a letter of intent (and associated term sheets) for the joint development of the proposed Whistler Pipeline Project, which will provide an outlet for increased natural gas production from the Permian Basin to growing markets along the Texas Gulf Coast. The Whistler Project is designed to transport approximately 2.0 billion cubic feet per day (“Bcf/d”) of natural gas through approximately 450 miles of 42-inch pipeline from Waha, Texas to NextEra’s Agua Dulce market hub, with an additional approximately 170 miles of 30-inch pipe continuing from Agua Dulce and terminating in Whar-ton County. Supply for the Whistler Project will be sourced from multiple upstream connections in both the Midland and Delaware Basins, including direct connections to Targa

plants through an approximately 27 mile 30-inch pipeline lateral, as well as a direct connection to the 1.4 Bcf/d Agua Blanca Pipeline, a joint venture between WhiteWater, WPX Energy, MPLX and Targa, which crosses through the heart of the Delaware Basin, including portions of Culberson, Lov-ing, Pecos, Reeves, Winkler, and Ward counties. The Whis-tler Project would have access to the Nueces Header and premium markets at Agua Dulce, as well as along a northern extension through Corpus Christi to the Houston Ship Chan-nel to serve markets along the Texas Gulf Coast. Targa, Nex-tEra, MPLX and WhiteWater (and their respective producer customers) would collectively commit volumes in excess of 1.5 Bcf/day to the Whistler Project.The Project would begin operation in the fourth quarter of 2020, subject to execu-tion of definitive agreements and the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. The named parties have committed to be exclusive to the Project for a period of time sufficient to complete definitive agreements. The Whistler Project will be constructed by NextEra Energy Pipeline Holdings and oper-ated by Targa. The Project is expected to be financed at the project level. In addition to the commitments of the Project sponsors and their producer customers, the Whistler Proj-ect is in negotiations for additional firm transportation com-mitments and is expected to launch an open season in the coming months with respect to any remaining firm intrastate transportation capacity.

TransCanada Corporation has successfully concluded the Keystone XL open season, securing approximately 500,000 barrels per day of firm, 20 year commitments, posi-tioning the proposed project to proceed. Interest in the proj-ect remains strong and TransCanada will look to continue to secure additional long-term contracted volumes. The an-nouncement builds on the November 20, 2017 decision by the Nebraska Public Service Commission to approve the Keystone XL route through the state. The approved route was based on a comprehensive review of the evidence sub-mitted by all parties in the hearing process as well as state agencies to ensure it has a minimal impact to the public and to Nebraska's natural resources. TransCanada is continuing outreach in the communities where the pipeline will be con-structed and is working collaboratively with landowners in an open and transparent way to obtain the necessary ease-ments for the approved route. Construction preparation has commenced and will increase as the permitting process ad-vances throughout 2018, with primary construction expected to begin in 2019.

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company has received FERC approval for its Rivervale South to Market Project in Bergen, Hudson, and Union Counties, New Jersey. The project would include constructing 0.61 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline loop along Transco’s Mainline A (Bergen County); uprating 10.35 miles of the existing 24-inch-diam-eter North New Jersey Extension from the Paramus M&R

The new pipelines and terminals are expected to supply up to 60,000 barrels per day into Williamson County.

Venture Global Plaquemines LNG, LLC (Plaquemines LNG) and Venture Global Gator Express, LLC (Gator Ex-press Pipeline) have received a Draft Environmental Im-pact Statement from the FERC to construct a liquefied natu-ral gas (LNG) export terminal and pipeline facilities located in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. Together the proposals are referred to as the Plaquemines LNG and Project or Project. Plaquemines LNG and Gator Express Pipeline are proposing to construct and operate a new LNG export ter-minal and associated facilities along the west bank of the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana (Termi-nal) and to construct and operate two new 42-inch diameter natural gas pipeline laterals that will connect the Terminal to the pipeline facilities of Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company and Texas Eastern Transmission. The two parallel and ad-jacent laterals (11.7 and 15.1 miles long) would be operated at an MAOP of 1,200 pounds per square inch and will be designed to provide firm transportation capacity of approxi-mately 1,970,000 Dt/d to the Terminal. Total cost of the pipe-line portion of the project is estimated to be approximately 284 million dollars.

Williams Partners L.P. has an application before the FERC seeking authorization for its Southeastern Trail Expan-sion project, which would create 296,375 dekatherms per day of additional firm transportation capacity to markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern U.S. for the 2020/2021 winter heating season. Transco, the nation’s largest-volume and fastest-growing interstate natural gas pipeline system, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Williams Partners L.P., of which Williams owns approximately 74 percent, including the general-partner interest. Williams Partners has executed precedent agreements with utility and local distribution com-panies located in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia for firm transportation service under the proj-ect. Once complete, the project will help meet the growing natural gas demand in the Southeast, as well as provide ac-cess to new sources of domestic natural gas supply while enhancing system reliability. The company held an open season for the project last summer and executed long-term binding precedent agreements with five natural gas shippers for 100 percent of the firm transportation capacity. Custom-ers served by the project are PSNC Energy, South Caro-lina Electric & Gas, Virginia Natural Gas, the City of Buford, Ga., and the City of LaGrange, Ga. Subject to approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Southeast-ern Trail Expansion project will consist of approximately 7.7 miles of 42-inch pipeline looping facilities in Virginia, horse-power additions at existing compressor stations in Virginia, and piping and valve modifications on other existing facili-ties in South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana to allow for bi-directional flow. The certificate application reflects an ex-pected capital cost of $404.8 million and a target in-service commitment of Nov. 1, 2020.

Jason Rhett, age 5. Jason was born fearless. Nothing could stop him. Once his mind was made up he was going to figure out how to make it happen. He was a tough man with a gentle soul and huge heart. He was such a proud father, the best father his kids could ask for. His big tough attitude softened up the first time he held his daughter and again when he held his son. He could be a bit stubborn and loved to argue to prove his point. He was one of the hardest workers around and was a mentor to many fellow coworkers. He was a “fixer.” He might have added a bit of red-neck ingenuity to it, but he would call it fixed. He was true to his word and everyone around him knew they could always count on Jason’s word.

OBITUARIES Robert Lynn Anderson, 66, passed away August 12, 2018 at his home in Rock Springs, Wyoming. He was a long-time resident of Rock Springs. Mr. Anderson was born on April 17, 1952 in Nebraska City, Nebraska, the son of Cecil James Anderson and Simone Mela-nie Alfred De Ceunynck. Mr. Anderson mar-ried Jane Ellen Anderson on March 25, 1972

in Craig, Nebraska, and she preceded him in death on October 28, 2009 in Rock Springs, Wyoming. He worked as a pipeliner for many companies for 51 years, and he retired in August 2017.

Gregory Paul Black, 43, of Belmont, passed away July 5, 2018. Greg was born Jan. 24, 1975, in Wellsville. He attended Belmont Central School. Greg was born in the Age of Aquarius. The qualities that drew people to him were also his greatest strengths as a hu-man being. He had such beautiful eyes and a smile that could melt your heart. He was a

progressive and independent thinker. He was a humanist and champion of social justice issues. Greg loved stimulating and in-tellectual conversation and had a healthy, if somewhat dry, sense of humor. He used his mind at every opportunity. While Greg gave freely of himself, he wore his heart on his sleeve and could become easily wounded in his feelings. Greg had a great desire for material gain but was not greedy. He was a tireless worker and was willing to work for what he wanted, never demanding more than his fair share. He had a gift of being able to read char-acter instinctively. Greg loved music. Everything from Al Green to Pantera. He had a music service and a great wireless speaker, and we jammed more than once at the house. He always had his headphones at the ready and listened to his favorite hits when working in the yard. Music was one of the things Greg and I shared, and I will hold those memories forever. Greg loved to travel and his current job with 798 Pipeliners afforded him that. It was a place where he could work hard now and later retire to fulfill his dreams of owning a piece of land and a place of his own. He earned good money and spent it well. He had the latest tech gadgets, but really had a knack for cars - Hondas of course. He was mechanically adept and worked tirelessly to keep them well maintained. No doubt his mechanical ability came from his Grandpa Black and his uncles. He also had some unusual work experience. When living in Colorado, he lived and worked at the renowned Broadmoor Hotel. He worked first on the greens and then in setting up for banquets. He saw Michael Jordan there

once for a golf tournament. He also worked on the summit at Pikes Peak where you had to dress for winter even in the sum-mer. He loved his time and adventures in Colorado and always found a reason to go back. Greg was my light; my sun. He was fiercely loyal to his family and friends and expected the same in return. He had many friends because of his genuine, down-to-earth personality, but had few confidants, people he trusted. Among those were his childhood friends Scotty and Dave. Later it was Mikey, too. He had a few close friends in Colorado that he kept in contact with and would visit when possible. One of his closest, Chris Steppler, also died too young. His death had a pro-found effect on Greg. Now, they can catch up. One of his friends said, "He always made you feel like you were somebody." He avoided the everyday drama, preferring to visit with his friends and family. Greg was truly one of the "good guys." No mother could be prouder than I to have had him as a son. His laughter, genuine thirst for knowledge and truth, his ability to see the best in others, his warm heart and beautiful soul will live forever in the hearts of those he loved and those who loved him. Surviving are his mother and stepfather, Marcella Black Tronetti and Charles "Bud" Tronetti; aunts, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Richard and Onalee Allen Black; and his uncle, Douglas Perry. Memorials may be made to the American Heart Association at www.heart.org, or to the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org.

Keith Lessard, "Keeter", age 67, of Nece-dah formerly of South Milwaukee passed away August 10, 2018.

five brothers and two sisters. He was preceded by his father Vern Lessard and his uncle Bobby Lessard. Keith was a long time employee of Michels Pipeline.

After a perfect day with the love of his life, he kissed her goodnight and drifted off to sleep. Donald William Thorn, native of Vina, AL, born June 27, 1949 to William E. and Oniece W. (Lindley) Thorn, leaves behind a great legacy of love and service to the Lord, his church, his family and friends. Aged 69, he passed away suddenly on Friday, August

3, 2018, at his home in Perrysburg, which he shared with his loving wife of 45 years, Judy (White) Thorn. He had recently re-tired after a lengthy career in the pipeline industry, which he had worked in since the age of 16. He met Judy in Ashland, KY at the Bluegrass Grill, and from the first date onward they knew they were meant to be life-long partners. He graduated as valedic-torian of Vina High School, aged 16. He went on to attend the University of Alabama, earning a degree in aerospace engineer-ing and igniting a lifelong passion for the greatest college football team that has ever existed. Roll Tide. Don had a lengthy and successful career that took him across the entirety of the United States and every corner of the globe, starting with an 18-month stretch working in Nigeria and ending with serving as President of Welded Construction. Additionally, he served on multiple
