RE: Proposed 465 mlle interstate {Alabama, Georgia and Florida)Natural Gas Pipeline Project

Prefiling Docket Number PF14-1~

Dear Cemmission Members:

By letter order dated October 16, 2013, Sabal Trail Transmhsion, LLC ('Sabal Trail ) was grantedappmval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"or the"Commission") to utilize theCommission's Pre-filing review process for the proposed Saba l Trail Project ("Project" ). The projecthas been assigned Docket Number PF14-1~.

Prior to and since that date, we, the undersigned members of the Board of Commissioners ofDougherty County ("Board') have been both listening and msponding to concerns expressed byDougheity County landowners affected by the proposed Project. On behalf of the citizens of ourcommunity, our Board will continue (a) to closely monitor the Pre~ppffcation, scoping and Post-appllcation process (b) provide input to FERC and later to PHMSA regarding Dougherty Countypubgc interests, and (c) fadlitate communication to FERC and PHMSA of issues relative to theInterests of Dougherty County citizens.

With the above in mind, we are endosing a copy of a September 30, 2013 letter signed by each ofus to Pete V. Sheflield, Vice President of the Government Affairs and Energy Policy of SpectraEnergy Corporation and Ed Gonzales, Project Director of Sabal Trull Transmission, LLC expressingthree major concerns on behalf ofour citizens. In that correspondence, we requested "...thatSabalTrail as project Manager in the siting, construction and operatfon of the Interstate Natural GasPipeline, (1)follow all federal, state and local rules, regulations and guidelines, (2) notify both theBoard and the

affected

landowners�o

any and all public hearings and required governmental filings,{3)in an effort to provide the least invasive route to our landowners, consider all reasonablealternative locations for both the pipelines and the compressor station and, in general, (4) keep thisBoani and the public fully informed through transparency and verification ofall publfc hearings andcompany filings." We are hopeful that one of the proposed akernate locations rerouting thepipeline corridor either out of Dougherfy County or out of the State of Georgia altogether will be

the adopted route. Ed Gonzales, project Director of Sabal Trail in the endosed October 29, 2013letter to the Board of Commissioners of Dougherty County responded to our request.

It is now our understanding that FERC has, through an ofgcial Notice of Intent, set the date ofMarch

3, 2014 to host a scoping meeting In order to determine environmental issues and attempt toresolve other Issues pertaining to the siting of the Project. Thus, the reason for enclosing a copyof the September 30, 2013 letter to both Spectra and Sabal Trail is to ask you to assure that SabalTrail adequately addresses all of our landowners concerns contained therein and any others thatmay arise.

We will continue to use Dougherty County resources in order to provide any and all Informationneeded by our citizens in order to obtain a safe, equitable and least invasive solution to theproposed Project. We undersiand that our input and the input of our landowners and citizens will

be both considered and addressed by FERC in environmental documents and in a Final Order. Weask that you please place the Board on a mailing list to receive environmental documents to thefollowing person and at the following address:

RE: Southeast Market Pipelines ProjectFERC Docket Nos. PF14-1~,PF14-2-000 and PF 14-6400

Dear Commissioners:

Based on information the Board of Commissioners of Dougherty County ("Board ofCommissioners') Is remiving from our local stakeholders, we grow increasingly concerned thatSabal Transmission, LLC ("Sabal Trail" ), a joint venture of Spectra Energy Corp. and Nextera

Energy, Inc. is not being transparent with those dtizens directly affected by the project and ourcitizenry in general relative to possible harmful effects of a compressor station located in

Dougherty County. With that in mind, we are enclosing a three (3) page stakeholders write-up

dealing with (1) Public health hazards from the compressor station (2) Landowners issues (3)Local ordinances for consideration (4) Request for the County to write a letter to the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC ) (5) Needed answers and (6) Needed documentation.

In addition, please find endosed a copy of an August 14, 2014 Albany Herald news story of ameeting held by the South Dougherty Community League. This meeting is only one example ofthe numbers of meetings that have been held throughout southwest Georgia relative to thelocation of the pipeline. At each meeting, discussion, in addition to the harmful effects of thepipegne, revolves around moving the location to a less invasive one and certainly a moreremote one. Our citizens do not feel that adequate and realistic conskleration has been given

by Sabal Trail to a less Invasive location.

As to the proposed compressor station to be kscated in Dougherty County, endosed please find

a copy af a recorded LIMITED WARRANTY DEED showing a purchase price of $890,900.00paid

by Sabal Trail to Down Home Plantatlon, LLC conveying 79.184 acres of property located in

Dougherty County. Apparently, this Is the location wherein Sabal Trail plans to construct acompressor station. The Board of Commissioners is currently in receipt of information and

evidence to the effect that the compressor station would be a major emitter of nitrogen oxide,

volatile organic compounds and other harmful air pollutants. We are undhr the impression thatthere wgi be an estimated 80 tons of cardnogenic pollutants emitted;from the compressor

stathn annually. Based on the Information we have received, the Boaril of Commissioners

mnadns on htgh alert to the possible danger tn having our community s+r neyehe health

consequences because of the construction of the pipeline. Those negative Health consequencesalso include Inongnate disturbing sound being emitted from the compressor station. We donot want to see any of our dthens breathe dirty air either in the short te4~ or long term. ItJust simply appears to make no sense to put a compressor station in such a~ populated area and

county.

We sincerely ask that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission thormIghly address thaisissues prior io the huuanoe ofan Enviromnental Impact Statement. We IooIr forvrard to hearingfrom you.
