D. PROJECT OVERVIEW

Palmetto is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, which is incorporated inDelaware and has its principal place of business in Houston, Texas. Palmetto is authorized to do business in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida, and has an office in Alpharetta, Georgia.Kinder Morgan is the largest energy infrastructure company in North America, and it owns aninterest in or operates approximately 80,000 miles of pipelines, transporting natural gas, refined petroleum products, crude oil, and carbon dioxide. Kinder Morgan also stores and handles avariety of products and materials at its over 180 terminals, such as gasoline, jet fuel, ethanol,coal, and steel. Specifically, Kinder Morgan is the largest independent transporter of petroleum products, transporting about 2.3 million barrels of product per day. Kinder Morgan currentlyowns an interest in or operates over 3,000 miles of pipelines in Georgia alone.

To build on this infrastructure and meet a critical need, Kinder Morgan, throughPalmetto, has developed a pipeline project that will provide significant benefits to Georgia by providing an additional source of supply of refined petroleum products and ethanol toconsumers. Once operational, the pipeline will be capable of transporting refined petroleum

products, including gasoline, petroleum oil distillates, biodiesel blend, and renewable diesel blend, from origin points located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Collins and Pascagoula,Mississippi, and Belton, South Carolina to destination points located in North Augusta, SouthCarolina, the Savannah area, and Jacksonville. The pipeline will also be capable of transportingdenatured fuel ethanol as a purity product, on a batched basis, from the Belton origin point toeach of the destination points. Palmetto anticipates beginning construction of the pipeline inApril, 2016, to complete that construction in advance of the pipeline being placed in service byJuly, 2017. Palmetto intends to comply with all applicable federal and state laws regarding thesiting, construction, and operation of the pipeline.

The pipeline will enter Georgia south of Augusta, and route through Richmond, Burke,

Screven, Effingham, Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, Glynn, Camden, and Charltoncounties before crossing into Florida. In Georgia, approximately 86 percent of the route is alongexisting easements and public utility corridors. This route is designed to minimize, as much as possible, the impact of the pipeline.

The pipeline would carry refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fueland ethanol, at 150,000 barrels per day (bpd), with an ultimate capacity of 167,000 bpd. This product will be delivered through the pipeline to terminal locations located in North Augusta,South Carolina, Richmond Hill, Georgia, and the Jacksonville, Florida area.

E. THE NEED FOR THE PALMETTO PIPELINE

1. Palmetto Is Needed to Meet Growth In Fuel Usage

Over the next 25 years, Georgia’s population will grow by about 49%, and the population of the 12counties on the pipeline route, plus their 11 neighboring counties in Georgia, will grow by 43%. These 23counties (and others) will benefit from being able to receive gasoline, ethanol and diesel fuel from the

Palmetto Pipeline. The basis of these population projections and the list of counties are found in Table E-1.

The 23 East and Coastal Georgia counties used 778 million gallons of motor fuel in 2014 or 50,000 barrels per day (bpd), not counting the large quantities of motor fuels used at Fort Gordon, Fort Stewart,Hunter Army Air Base, and for off-road purposes. The basis of this fact is found in Table E-2.

Motor fuel usage will closely track population growth, even with improving car and truckefficiency, according to a 2010 report by the Carl Vinson Institute. “The Motor Use Fuel Tax in Georgia:Collection Efficiency, Trends, and Projections,” Wes Clarke, Warren Brown, and Matt Hauer, Carl VinsonInstitute of Government (December 2010), attached as Appendix 3. Tables 10 and 13 in the Vinson

Institute report contain, respectively, statewide population projections and statewide gasoline and dieselfuel use projections. Projected population increase from 2011 to 2020 is 12.6%. Projected gasoline anddiesel use from 2011 to 2020 is 15.4%. The conclusion drawn is that statewide motor fuel consumptionwas projected to increase faster than the state’s population (even considering improved fuel efficiencies innewer cars and trucks).

Assuming this trend continues, a 43% increase in the motor fuel use to 72,000 bpd in the 23 Eastand Coastal Georgia counties (matching their projected 43% population increase by 2040) is aconservatively low projection of 2040 motor fuel needs in that narrow section of Georgia.

2. Palmetto is Needed for Capacity Expansion and Choice

East and Coastal Georgia are pipeline constrained. In Middle and South Georgia, existing petroleum products pipelines deliver fuel only to Macon, Columbus, Albany and North Augusta. Palmettowill provide the first direct petroleum pipeline to the Savannah area and to Jacksonville, and willsupplement the North Augusta pipeline capacity. Some fuel is brought by marine vessels to Savannah andJacksonville. The vast majority of the fuel used in Coastal Georgia is transported by tanker truck from petroleum terminals at Macon and North Augusta that are served by pipelines. The Palmetto Pipeline will provide infrastructure needed for the continued healthy growth of East and Coastal Georgia, without anystate incentives or other public investment.

3. Palmetto is Needed for Highway Safety

Assuming 80% of the motor fuel in the 23 counties is delivered to the wholesale and retail outlets by 10,000 gallon capacity tanker trucks, and that these trucks can haul maximum loads of 8,800 gallons ofgasoline or 7,500 gallons of diesel, it takes 198 truck-loads of motor fuel and 198 return trips, 365 days peryear, to serve these counties. Without this pipeline, it will take 43% more trucks in 2040.

The Savannah area alone has about 15,000 bpd of motor fuels trucked to it from Macon and NorthAugusta. (About 5,000 bpd may get to the Savannah area by marine vessel.) These 15,000 barrels per day


24/98

require 74 truck trips per day, or about 27,000 trips per year and 7.8 million highway miles per year bytruck.

If the Palmetto Pipeline supplies just half of the current 15,000 bpd of fuel to the Savannah area, itwill eliminate 13,500 tanker truck trips and 3.9 million miles driven by those trucks annually.

The pipeline will significantly reduce the number of truck miles driven to get fuel to customer

outlets. A new pipeline terminal near Savannah will put at least 17 Southeast Georgia counties closer to a pipeline sourced terminal than they are now, which will reduce tanker travel miles driven. A terminal atJacksonville will put at least 7 other Southeast Georgia counties closer to a pipeline sourced terminal.Fewer truck miles driven means lower probability of traffic accidents, decreased traffic congestion, andless wear and tear on Georgia’s highways. See Table E-3 for list of counties benefitted.

4. Palmetto is Needed to Reduce Fuel Transportation Costs to Consumers

Pipeline transport is the safest and most cost efficient way to move large quantities of motor fuel.Trucking a gallon of fuel from Baton Rouge to Savannah costs about 30 cents/gallon. The cost of marinetransport for a gallon of motor fuel from Baton Rouge, LA to Savannah is about 50% less than trucking it

between those same points. The cost to send a gallon of fuel by pipeline from Baton Rouge to Macon or North Augusta, and then truck it to Savannah, is about 36% less than marine transport. The cost to send agallon of fuel from Baton Rouge all the way to Savannah by pipeline is about 25% less than the currentmethod of pipeline plus trucking.

5. Palmetto Is Needed to Increase Healthy Competition

Competition is good for the economy. Georgia encourages competition among its manufacturers,food processors, timber and mining industries, telecom and natural gas utilities, farmers, retailers, andsmall businesses. The Palmetto Pipeline will not only help serve Georgia’s growing population, it will also provide competition for the very limited motor fuel choices in East and Coastal Georgia.

As a general proposition, additional sources of supply will lower motor fuel prices. There iscurrently only one independent supplier to the Savannah area, and the free enterprise system hasdemonstrated over and over that competition reduces prices and/or increases choices. The market willsupport as many suppliers as needed to provide good service at a reasonable rate. Note: Palmetto will notown the product transported in the pipeline and will not set the price of gasoline at the pump, and thereforehas no ability to raise or lower fuel prices.

6. Much of the Fuel Carried by Palmetto Will Be Used in Georgia

Kinder Morgan estimates that at least 50-60 percent of the pipeline capacity will transport refined

products to consumers in the Augusta and Savannah areas. Additionally, the close proximity ofJacksonville (the third terminal market for Palmetto Pipeline) to coastal Georgia communities suggests thatmuch of the additional product shipped through the Palmetto Pipeline to Jacksonville will ultimately entermarkets in South Georgia. Kinder Morgan estimates that the following quantities of barrels per day (bpd)will be offloaded from the pipeline:

• North Augusta area: 40,000-50,000 bpd• Savannah area: 20,000-25,000 bpd• Jacksonville area: 70,000-80,000 bpd


25/98

7. Product on the Pipeline Is Not For Export

Neither the existing terminal in North Augusta, nor the proposed terminals for the Savannah areaand Jacksonville are or will be export terminals. The proposed terminal for the Savannah area will belocated along I-95 in Richmond Hill, far from any marine facility. The Palmetto Pipeline has been

designed to provide transportation service from the Gulf Coast refineries to these market centers and nofurther. The Gulf Coast refineries, where products transported through the Palmetto Pipeline will originate,already have marine export capabilities, so it would not be economical to transport fuel to North Augusta,Savannah, or Jacksonville for subsequent export outside of the United States.

8. Palmetto Pipeline Will Result in Public Convenience

• Meeting the 43% growth in motor fuel needs in East and Coastal Georgia over the next 25years is a convenience. Not having Palmetto Pipeline would result in 43% more tankertruck trips from North Augusta and Macon to meet the growth in fuel need. Avoiding thatmany more trucks and millions of additional annual truck miles driven on Georgia’s

highways will be a traffic convenience for Georgia’s citizens.• Avoiding millions of additional truck miles annually on East and Coastal Georgia highways

will reduce the probability of highway accidents involving trucks. Thus Palmetto Pipelinewill result in safer highways. Increased highway safety is a convenience for Georgians.

• Providing more competition to fuel suppliers in the Savannah and Augusta areas, startingimmediately when Palmetto Pipeline goes into operation, is a convenience. Competitionwill be inconvenient for the one independent motor fuel supplier in the Savannah area, andto a few other existing suppliers in the Augusta area. However, competition will be veryconvenient to the hundreds of thousands of automobile and truck owners and thousands offarmers in East and Coastal Georgia, since they will have more opportunities than theycurrently have to save money on motor fuel costs. Avoiding unnecessarily high fuel costs is

a public convenience.• Palmetto Pipeline will result in less heavy truck traffic and thus less wear and tear on

Georgia’s highways. Georgia’s citizens pay for highway construction and repair with theirtax dollars, so having their highways last longer before repairs are needed means lowerrepair costs to taxpayers. Saving tax dollars is a convenience for Georgians.

9. Shippers and the FERC Have Approved This Project

These facts prove what the market has already revealed: there is a substantial need for the PalmettoPipeline. Palmetto’s prior filings with the GDOT describe the binding commitments it has received to shiprefined products through the pipeline.

Following these commitments, and as part of the approval process required for this project,Palmetto filed a petition with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) where Palmettorequested that the FERC approve the rates, and terms and conditions of service for the Palmetto Pipeline.Following a review of Palmetto’s application and the associated facts regarding this project, the FERCissued an order on May 1, 2015 (see Appendix 4) granting Palmetto’s petition and concluding that the project was consistent with FERC precedent: “The Commission finds that the rates, and terms andconditions of service offered to the potential committed shippers during the open season are consistent withthe ICA and Commission precedent.”

This table was developed by GDOT for examining transportation funding options during the 2015 General

Assembly Session.

The column titled “3 cents/gal Excise Tax, $” is the column of interest. The total of the excise tax dollars for

the 23 East and Coastal counties is $23,350,625. Dividing that number by 3 cents per gallon yields the

number of gallons of motor fuel sold in those counties in 2014 on which excise tax was paid. This was

778,354,167 gallons. Rounded to 778,000,000 gallons per year, this is equal to more than 50,000 barrels per

day (bpd).

This is a conservatively low number for actual motor fuel use in the 23 counties, since several types of fuel

use are exempt from the excise tax (agricultural field use, non-highway use, military use, etc.) and thus are

not counted.

F. LOCAL BENEFITS OF THE PIPELINE PROJECT

Construction of the Palmetto Pipeline would generate approximately 1,200 temporaryconstruction jobs at its peak. While Palmetto will hire pipeline construction contractors to buildthe Palmetto Pipeline, these construction firms will hire local labor to augment their crews. Theeconomic impact of construction will be significant. Workers will rely upon local businesses,housing and support services during construction.

Palmetto will purchase property rights sufficient to construct and maintain the pipelineand will pay fair market value for those rights. Payments to landowners for these rights willhave a significant economic impact on individual landowners and, potentially, communitieswhere these funds would be put back into the market.

Additionally, upon completion, the pipeline will result in an increase of an estimated $4.5million in annual tax revenue to state and local taxing bodies in Georgia.

These local benefits are, of course, in addition to those associated with meeting increasedfuel needs in east and coastal Georgia. As detailed above, the twelve counties through which the pipeline is proposed and the other counties in Georgia that border those twelve, have a 2014 population of 1,257,396 and are projected to grow to 1,803,191 by 2040, according to a 2010report by the Carl Vinson Institute. See Appendix 3. This 43% growth will likely increasecurrent fuel consumption in those counties by at least 43%.

The Palmetto Pipeline will be a tremendous benefit to Georgia citizens. It will provide anew and reliable source of motor fuel and it will significantly reduce the potential of motor fuelshortages in coastal Georgia. This new source will also provide a competitive market for motorfuel. No one can confidently predict the future price of gasoline, but competition is the life blood of the free market system and has proven time and time again to reduce prices toconsumers. The cost of the pipeline will be borne solely by Palmetto. The residents of coastalGeorgia will pay nothing for this major infrastructure investment.


33/98

G. ENVIRONMENT AND SAFETY

The route identified by Palmetto will cause minimal adverse environmental impacts, andas compared to other modes of transporting petroleum products, pipelines are recognized as notonly the most cost-effective but also the safest mode of transportation. These issues are not thesubject of the GDOT process but will be fully addressed.

1. Environmental Issues

A number of federal and state agencies will be involved in the review and approval of theenvironmental impacts of the project, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) andthe Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD). After, and separate from, GDOT’s process, the project will undergo a review that will address environmental protection andmitigation relating to project siting, permitting, construction and operation, among other issues.

As required by Georgia law, any proposed petroleum product pipeline must undergo anenvironmental review by EPD, which occurs subsequent to GDOT’s issuance of the certificate

of convenience and necessity. See O.C.G.A. §22-3-84(a). Palmetto will ask EPD to determine,after notice to affected landowners and a public hearing, that the location, construction, andmaintenance of the Georgia portion of the Palmetto Pipeline is consistent with and not an unduehazard to the environmental and natural resources of Georgia. See O.C.G.A. §22-3-84(b)(4). Inmaking that decision, the EPD Director will determine whether the Georgia portion of the pipeline route is “an environmentally reasonable route,” whether existing utility corridors mayreasonably be used for the pipeline, and whether the project will comply with any local zoningordinances (unless compliance would impose an unreasonable burden on the project, as weighedagainst the purpose of the zoning ordinances in question). O.C.G.A. §22-3-84(c). Prior toissuing the permit, EPD will also need to assure that ample opportunity has been afforded for public comment, including comments from the municipalities and counties in which the pipeline

will be located. Id.

Rules adopted by the Board of Natural Resources further explain the procedures andrequirements applicable to EPD’s consideration of a petroleum pipeline. Ga. Comp. R. and Regs.r. 391-3-23-.01, et seq (hereinafter “r. 391-3-23-.01”). The application for the permit mustinclude an Environmental Effects Report, comparable to the reports required under the GeorgiaEnvironmental Policy Act, which must be prepared and signed by a professional engineer or a professional geologist. See r. 391-3-23-.07(2). The Environmental Effects Report must include,among other items, a copy of GDOT’s Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, routemaps, a description of the proposed project, background data on engineering or environmentalstudies used by the pipeline company, and a proposal to monitor the effects of the pipeline on the

surrounding environment. See r. 391-3-23-.07(2). The rules further provide for public notice, a public hearing, and an opportunity for written comments on the proposed pipeline. See r. 391-3-23-.07(4).

Palmetto will not be legally authorized to exercise the right of eminent domain until EPDhas issued the required permit, unless EPD fails to approve or deny the permit within 120 days ofthe date of publication of the public notice of the EPD permit application. See O.C.G.A. §22-3-84. Moreover, EPD can impose reasonable conditions on the permit to require monitoring of the


34/98

effect of the pipeline on the surrounding environmental and natural resources. See O.C.G.A.§22-3-84(c); r. 391-3-23-.07(7).

In addition to the EPD petroleum pipeline-specific permit, the project must comply withrequirements for other site-specific environmental permits. Palmetto expects to apply for permits from the COE pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of theRivers and Harbors Act, and Palmetto will comply, as appropriate, with the general permit forthe discharge of stormwater during construction. Where stream buffers apply, Palmetto willfollow applicable standards and procedures.

The pipeline will be constructed to avoid, to the extent practicable, any adverse impactsto rivers and creeks along the route, and the pipeline will not cross over or through any rivers orstreams. The pipeline will be buried four feet below ground surface in most areas along theroute; however, as the pipeline approaches a river or stream, the construction team will usehorizontal directional drilling to install the pipeline well below the bottoms of all rivers andstreams, thereby protecting both waters and stream buffer areas.

The company is also working to minimize impacts to wetlands along the proposed pipeline route. Palmetto’s expert wetlands consultants are marking and measuring the wetlandsalong the route, and all wetlands will be identified in the application that will be filed with theCOE for a Section 404 permit. The wetland impacts will also be addressed in the EnvironmentalEffects Report that will be submitted to EPD.

2. Pipeline Safety Issues

It is well understood that pipelines are the safest mode of transportation to deliver products such as gasoline, jet fuel and diesel. “Pipelines Are Safest for Transportation of Oiland Gas,” Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research (June 23, 2013).

Palmetto’s parent company, Kinder Morgan, is one of the safest pipeline operators in North America, recognized industry-wide as a leader in emergency preparedness, incidentresponse and integrity management for its pipeline network. Kinder Morgan consistently performs better than its industry peers in almost all safety and release-related measures.

Palmetto will follow the company’s required specifications regarding installation of state-of-the-art pipeline and will adhere to company protocols to regularly monitor, test and inspectthe mechanical and operational integrity of the pipeline.

• Pipe Materials – The pipeline will be made of high strength steel, with all joints

carefully welded, pressure tested, and inspected before being put into use, andwill be cathodically protected, which is the best method to protect againstcorrosion in underground pipelines. The Federal standard is to inspect 10% of thewelds, but Palmetto will inspect every weld on the Palmetto Pipeline.

• Monitoring – Palmetto will monitor its pipeline operating conditions 24 hours aday, 7 days a week, in control centers using sophisticated computer systems. Ifoperating conditions change, the operators on duty will be alerted and will


35/98

investigate immediately. Automated and manual valves will be placed along the pipeline system to enable immediate shutdown if necessary.

• Emergency preparedness measures will be put into place and Palmetto will workclosely with local emergency response organizations on how to respond in the

event of an emergency.

• All petroleum pipelines are under the regulatory oversight of the U.S. DOTPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

3. Highway Safety Issues

At least 80% of the motor fuel in the 23 East and Coastal counties is delivered to thewholesale and retail outlets by 10,000 gallon capacity tanker trucks that can handle maximumloads of 8,800 gallons of gasoline or 7,500 gallons of diesel. As a result, it takes 198 truck-loadsof motor fuel and 198 return trips, 365 days per year, to serve these counties. Without this pipeline, it will take 43% more truck trips in 2040.

The Savannah area alone has about 15,000 bpd of motor fuels trucked to it from Maconand North Augusta. (About 5,000 bpd may get to the Savannah area by marine vessel.) These15,000 barrels per day require 74 truck trips per day, or about 27,000 trips per year and 7.8million highway miles per year by truck. If the Palmetto Pipeline replaces just half of the current15,000 bpd of fuel trucked to the Savannah area, it will eliminate 13,500 tanker truck trips and3.9 million miles driven by those trucks annually.

The pipeline will significantly reduce the number of truck miles driven to get fuel tocustomer outlets. A new pipeline terminal near Savannah will put at least 17 Southeast Georgiacounties closer to a pipeline sourced terminal than they are now, which will reduce tanker truck

miles driven. A terminal at Jacksonville will put at least 7 other Southeast Georgia countiescloser to a pipeline sourced terminal.

Fewer truck miles driven means lower probability of traffic accidents, decreased trafficcongestion, and less wear and tear on Georgia’s highways.


36/98

H. EASEMENTS AND EMINENT DOMAIN

Palmetto is not seeking a fee interest in the property along the right of way. Palmetto willseek permanent easements of 50 feet and additional temporary easements of up to 75 feet toallow for construction of the pipeline. Because Palmetto is seeking only easements (not feeinterests), landowners will retain rights to the property. In fact, with regard to the area of anytemporary easement, any and all rights to that property will revert to landowners once the pipeline is constructed. With respect to the permanent easement, landowners will continue toenjoy the use of that land, often precisely as it is projected to be used as if the pipeline was not built.

Furthermore, all landowners will be given fair market value for any temporary and permanent easement interests required in connection with this pipeline. Palmetto has alreadyengaged expert appraisers to evaluate the market value of property impacted by the proposed pipeline. Negotiations with landowners will be informed by the results of appraisal studies, andwill be further guided by information landowners provide regarding their property. Palmetto willnegotiate in good faith with landowners and will take landowners’ concerns and perspectives

into account in order to make reasonable and appropriate offers.

In an attempt to minimize impacts on landowners as much as possible, Palmetto hascollocated the pipeline’s proposed route along existing pipeline, utility or railroad rights of waywhenever possible. Georgia law requires that a petroleum pipeline route should use existing public utility corridors as much as can reasonably be done, and approximately 86 percent of the pipeline route in Georgia runs directly alongside existing utility or railroad easements.

Palmetto will make every effort to secure the needed easements by agreements andanticipates, based on previous experience, that most easements will be acquired throughnegotiation. However, Palmetto has begun the process of securing approval for this project so

that it has the ability to exercise the power of eminent domain for those landowners that will notaccept reasonable offers to transfer the property interests necessary to construct this important project. Many different types of utilities in Georgia have the power of eminent domain incircumstances like this one, where that power is necessary to create infrastructure that provides a public good. Such utilities include publicly owned or privately owned lines or systems for producing or distributing:

• Communications• Electricity• Natural Gas• Petroleum products• Water and wastewater

• Rail service.

The Georgia General Assembly has authorized many types of for-profit companies toexercise the power of eminent domain in Georgia. However, there are significantly more stateimposed requirements for petroleum pipeline companies to meet than there are for any other publicly or privately owned utility which wants to use eminent domain. No other type of publicutility is required to apply for and receive a certificate of necessity and convenience from GDOT.


37/98

No other type of public utility is required to develop what amounts to an environmental impactstatement and get a project specific permit from Georgia EPD.

The statements made in the public comment period on the route of the proposed PalmettoPipeline indicate that some landowners are not willing to enter into agreements for easements.

Therefore, the use of eminent domain, although not preferable, may be necessary for this project.

I. RESPONSES TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


39/98

Palmetto Pipeline Project

Georgia Frequently Asked Questions:

May, 2015

Project Overview

1.

What is the Palmetto Pipeline and where will it be located?

Kinder Morgan is proposing the Palmetto Pipeline, which will allow the company to offer a new service to

move refined petroleum products from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Collins and Pascagoula, Mississippi, and

Belton, South Carolina, to North Augusta, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, and Jacksonville, Florida. The

new 360-mile pipeline from Belton to Jacksonville will be constructed as part of the project.

The proposed Palmetto Pipeline will cross through the following counties in Georgia: Bryan, Burke,

Camden, Charlton, Chatham, Effingham, Glynn, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, Richmond and Screven.

2.

What is the capacity of the proposed Palmetto Pipeline and what will it carry?

The proposed Palmetto Pipeline would carry 150,000 barrels per day (bpd), with an ultimate capacity of

167,000 bpd. The pipeline would carry refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel

and ethanol.

3.

What is the timeline for this proposed project?

The final route selection and development of the environmental permit application is planned for the

summer of 2015. We plan to begin construction in the spring of 2016, and we have a targeted in-service

date of July 2017.

The Need for the Pipeline

1.

Why is the Palmetto Pipeline needed?A.

Meet Growth in Fuel Needs

Over the next 25 years, Georgia’s population will grow by about 49 percent, and the population of

the 12 counties on the pipeline route, plus their 11 neighboring counties in Georgia, will grow by

about 43 percent. These 23 counties (and others) will benefit from being able to receive gasoline

and diesel fuel from the Palmetto Pipeline. Motor fuel use will closely track population growth,

even with expected improvements in car and truck fuel efficiency. Thus, those 23 East and Coastal

Georgia counties will need about 43 percent more motor fuel by 2040.

B. Capacity Expansion and Choice

The 23 East and Coastal Georgia counties used 778 million gallons of motor fuel in 2014, or 50,000

bpd, not counting the large quantities of motor fuels used at Fort Gordon, Fort Stewart and HunterArmy Air Base. By 2040 these counties will be using about 72,000 bpd. East and Coastal Georgia

are pipeline-constrained, since existing petroleum pipelines deliver fuel only to Macon and North

Augusta. Palmetto will provide the first direct petroleum pipeline to Savannah and to Jacksonville,

and will supplement the North Augusta pipeline capacity. Some fuel is brought by ship to

Savannah and Jacksonville, but the vast majority of the fuel used in Coastal Georgia is brought

there by truck. Palmetto will provide infrastructure needed for the continued healthy growth of

East and Coastal Georgia.

1DMSLIBRARY01:25576065.1


40/98

C.

Highway Safety

At least 80 percent of the motor fuel in the 23 counties is delivered to wholesale and retail outlets

by 10,000 gallon tanker trucks that can handle maximum weight limits of 8800 gallons of gasoline

or 7500 gallons of diesel. As a result, it takes 198 truckloads of motor fuel and 198 return trips

daily, 365 days per year, to serve the needs of these counties. Without the pipeline, it will take 43

percent more trips in 2040. The pipeline will significantly reduce the number of truck miles driven

to get fuel to customer outlets. A new pipeline terminal near Savannah will put at least 17

Southeast Georgia counties closer to a pipeline terminal than they are now, which will reduce

tanker miles driven. A pipeline terminal at Jacksonville will put at least 7 additional Georgia

counties closer to a pipeline sourced terminal. Fewer truck miles driven means lower probability

of traffic accidents and less wear and tear on Georgia’s highways.

D.

Lower Transportation Costs

Pipeline transport is the most cost efficient way to move large quantities of motor fuel. Trucking

fuel from Baton Rouge to Savannah costs about 30 cents per gallon. The cost of marine transport

for a gallon of fuel from Baton Rouge to Savannah costs about 50 percent less. The cost to send a

gallon of fuel from Baton Rouge to Macon or North Augusta by pipeline, then truck it to Savannah,

is about 36 percent less than marine transport. The cost to send a gallon of fuel from Baton Rouge

to Savannah by pipeline is about 25 percent less than the current method of pipeline plus trucking.

E. Competition

As a general proposition, additional sources of supply will lower motor fuel prices. There is

currently only one independent supplier to the Savannah area (a vocal opponent of this project),

and the free enterprise system has demonstrated over and over that competition reduces prices

and/or increases choices. The market will support as many suppliers as needed to provide good

service at a reasonable rate. Note: Palmetto will not own any of the fuel transported in the

pipeline and will not set the price of gasoline or diesel at the pump. Therefore it has no ability to

raise or lower fuel prices.

2.

Where will product be delivered from the Palmetto Pipeline?Delivery points from Palmetto will be North Augusta, the Savannah area and Jacksonville. The disposition

of product is up to Palmetto’s shippers, and shippers will designate products based on market demand.

It’s reasonable to assume that some of the product delivered to North Augusta will serve east and north

Georgia, product delivered to Savannah will primarily serve the Georgia coastal area, and some of the

product delivered to Jacksonville will serve southern Georgia. In general, as supply sources proliferate,

prices decrease to the consumer.

3.

Where will terminals be located for the Palmetto Pipeline?

Terminals will be located in North Augusta, the Savannah area (Richmond Hill) and Jacksonville.

4.

How many barrels per day will be offloaded for delivery to local customers at the various terminals?

Estimates for Palmetto destinations are as follows:

• North Augusta area: 40,000-50,000 bpd

• Savannah area: 20,000-25,000 bpd

• Jacksonville area: 70,000-80,000 bpd

5. The pipeline begins in South Carolina and ends in Florida - what percentage of the product will Georgia

have for its benefit?

Kinder Morgan estimates that at least 50-60 percent of the pipeline capacity will transport refined

products to consumers in the Augusta and Savannah areas. Additionally, the close proximity of Jacksonville

(the third terminal market for Palmetto Pipeline) to coastal Georgia communities suggests that additional

product shipped through the Palmetto Pipeline will ultimately enter markets in southern Georgia.

Palmetto's shippers will determine the ultimate destinations for products transported on the Palmetto

Pipeline.

Local Benefits of the Pipeline

1.

How would construction of the Palmetto Pipeline benefit surrounding areas?

Construction of the Palmetto Pipeline would generate approximately 1,200 temporary construction jobs at

its peak. The economic impact of construction will be significant as workers will rely upon local businesses,

housing and support services during construction.

Additionally, upon completion, the pipeline will result in an increase of an estimated $4.5 million in annual

tax revenue to state and local taxing bodies in Georgia.

Moreover, Palmetto will pay landowners along the route the fair market value of any property necessary

to construct and operate the pipeline. These payments will benefit landowners and cause an influx ofdollars into local economies.

These benefits are in addition to the fact that the proposed pipeline would help meet increased fuel needs

in East and Coastal Georgia. The twelve counties through which the pipeline is proposed and the other

counties in Georgia that border those twelve, have a 2014 population of 1,257,396 and are projected to

grow to 1,803,191 by 2040. This 43 percent growth will likely increase current motor fuel consumption in

those counties by at least 43 percent.

2. Will Kinder Morgan hire local individuals to build the pipeline?

Kinder Morgan will hire pipeline construction contractors to build the Palmetto Pipeline. These

construction firms generally hire local labor to augment their crews. Also, the contractors will have apositive impact on the local economy with their local purchases of goods and services such as meals,

lodging, fuel, and construction materials.

3. Does Kinder Morgan already have existing petroleum pipelines in the region?

Yes, Kinder Morgan owns and operates the Plantation Pipe Line Company (Plantation) in the Southeast

region. Plantation is one of the largest refined petroleum products pipelines in the United States. It

delivers approximately 700,000 bpd of gasoline, jet fuel, diesel and biodiesel through its 3,100-mile

network. Plantation connects to 90 delivery terminals throughout eight states which are owned by

petroleum refiners, marketers, and military and commercial fuel users. Plantation was founded in 1940

and its headquarters are in the Atlanta area. The existing Plantation pipeline currently has extensive

operations in Georgia, and the proposed Palmetto Pipeline would allow access to markets in coastal

Georgia as well.

4.

Does Kinder Morgan have an existing presence in Georgia?

Yes, Kinder Morgan is proud to have extensive existing infrastructure in Georgia. Kinder Morgan is no

stranger to operating assets safely and efficiently in this State.

• Kinder Morgan operates more than 3,000 miles of natural gas and petroleum products pipelines

throughout 85 counties in Georgia. Kinder Morgan also operates five terminals in Georgia. In

2014, Kinder Morgan employed 330 Georgians and maintained a payroll of over $28 million.



42/98

• In 2014, Kinder Morgan paid over $15.8 million to state and local taxing bodies.

Environmental and Safety Concerns

1.

What state/federal agencies are involved in approving this project?

A number of federal and state agencies will be involved in the approval and oversight of the project,

including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers the Georgia

Department of Transportation, and the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. The project will

undergo a careful review, which will address environmental protection and mitigation relating to project

siting, permitting, construction and operation, among other issues.

As part of the process, following a review of Palmetto’s application and the associated facts regarding this

project, the FERC issued an order on May 1, 2015 granting Palmetto’s petition and concluding that the

project was consistent with FERC precedent: “The Commission finds that the rates, and terms and

conditions of service offered to the potential committed shippers during the open season are consistent

with the ICA and Commission precedent.”

2.

What kinds of safety features will the Palmetto Pipeline feature to prevent leaks and/or environmental

damage?It is very important that people understand that pipelines are the safest mode of transportation to deliver

products such as gasoline, jet fuel and diesel. Furthermore, Kinder Morgan’s spill rate is one-third of the

industry’s average. Overall, our operational performance was better than our industry peers in 35 out of

36 environmental, health and safety measures in 2014.

We are proud to say that Kinder Morgan is one of the safest asset operators in North America, recognized

industry-wide as a leader in emergency preparedness, incident response and integrity management for our

pipeline network.

Every day, Kinder Morgan follows numerous procedures to regularly monitor, test and inspect the

mechanical and operational integrity of our pipelines. Activities include monitoring operating conditionsaround the clock, using electronic surveillance systems that gather data such as pipeline pressures, volume

and flow rates, placing automated and/or manual valves at strategic locations to isolate sections to shut

down the pipeline when needed, and conducting visual and internal inspections regularly. Most

importantly, if an incident does occur, we take swift and appropriate action with local, state and federal

emergency responders and work diligently to remedy the situation in a responsible manner.

3.

Will the Palmetto Pipeline follow existing power line and utility corridor rights-of-way?

In an attempt to minimize impacts on property in the area as much as possible, Kinder Morgan has

collocated approximately 86 percent of the Palmetto Pipeline’s proposed route in Georgia along existing

pipeline, utility or railroad rights-of-way. Georgia law requires that a petroleum pipeline route should use

existing public utility corridors as much as can be reasonably done, and Kinder Morgan will do so. It is not

possible to stay completely along the existing corridors due to development that has occurred since the

corridor was first established and other operational or local environmental constraints. Deviations from

the existing corridor, where necessary, will make the pipeline safer and less intrusive.

4. Where along the Savannah River is the proposed pipeline planning to cross? Is it safe for the pipeline to

run along the Savannah River?

The Palmetto Pipeline’s proposed crossing of the Savannah River is south of Augusta, near the community

of Jackson, South Carolina. The vast majority of the line will be several miles away from the Savannah

River. That is the most reasonable route, considering that Kinder Morgan needs to be along existing utility



43/98

corridors and wants to keep the length of the pipeline as short as possible. State and federal

environmental laws and rules will adequately protect the Savannah River and all other streams and

wetlands on the pipeline route.

5.

How will rivers and creeks in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline be protected during construction and

once the pipeline is in operation?

Rivers and creeks in the vicinity of the pipeline will be protected in several ways: construction methods,

pipeline materials, safety programs, and monitoring.

• Construction Methods – The pipeline will not cross through any stream. The pipeline will be

buried four feet below ground surface in most areas. But near streams, Kinder Morgan’s

construction team will use horizontal directional drilling to construct the pipeline well below the

bottoms of all rivers and streams, to help protect both the streams and the sensitive stream

buffer areas.

• Pipe Materials – The pipeline will be made of high strength steel, with all joints carefully welded,

pressure tested and inspected before being put into service, and it will be cathodically protected,

which is the best method to protect against corrosion in underground pipelines. Federal standards

require x-ray inspection on 10% of all welded joints in oil and gas pipelines, but on the Palmetto

Pipeline 100% of all welded joints will undergo x-ray inspection.

• Monitoring – Kinder Morgan monitors its pipeline operating conditions 24 hours a day, 7 days a

week in control centers using sophisticated computer systems. If operating conditions change, the

operators on duty are alerted and will investigate immediately. Automated and manual valves are

placed along the pipeline system to enable immediate shutdown if necessary.

• Emergency preparedness measures are in place and Kinder Morgan works closely with local

emergency response organizations on how to respond in the event of an emergency.

• All petroleum pipelines are under the regulatory oversight of the U.S. DOT’s Pipeline and

Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

6.

It has been stated by some organizations that “The vast majority of the pipeline from Savannah to

Jacksonville is going to be built in wetlands.” Is that correct?

No, it is not correct. Certainly there are numerous areas of wetlands along the proposed pipeline route,

and the company is working to minimize impacts to those wetlands. We are still doing the measurements

in the field, but we believe that about 29 percent of the pipeline route in Georgia will cross waterways or

wetlands. As explained above, our plan is to bore under all rivers and streams, thereby avoiding or

minimizing adverse impacts in those areas. All wetlands will be identified in the permit application we will

file with the Corps of Engineers. The wetlands impacts will also be addressed in the Environmental Effects

Report that we will file with the Georgia EPD to support our environmental permit application.

Other Concerns/Questions

1.

In Georgia, how does a for-profit company get eminent domain powers? What are the requirements for

obtaining eminent domain powers in Georgia?

The Georgia General Assembly has adopted laws allowing public utilities to have the power of eminent

domain to provide services for the public good. Public utilities include publicly owned or privately owned

lines or systems for producing or distributing:



44/98

• Communications

• Electricity

• Natural Gas

• Petroleum products

• Water and wastewater

• Rail service

The Georgia legislature has made it possible for many kinds of for-profit companies to obtain eminent

domain power in Georgia. However, there are significantly more state imposed requirements for

petroleum pipeline companies to meet than there are for any other publicly or privately owned utility that

wants to use eminent domain. No other type of public utility is required to apply for and receive a

certificate of public convenience and necessity from Georgia DOT. No other type of public utility is

required to develop what amounts to an environmental impact statement and obtain a project specific

permit from Georgia EPD.

2. If I am an impacted landowner, will the state government allow my land to be seized to build the

pipeline?

No, there is no seizure involved. State law allows a pipeline company to use eminent domain to acquire

easements for a petroleum pipeline, but only if Georgia DOT issues a certificate of necessity andconvenience for the pipeline, and if Georgia EPD issues a pipeline permit after considering the likely

environmental effects. If these two state approvals are issued, then Palmetto can use eminent domain in

cases where it is not able to negotiate an agreement with a landowner to purchase an easement or find a

workable alternative for the pipeline route . Eminent domain will not be needed in the vast majority of

easement acquisitions, and even when it must be used, the law requires notice to landowners and affords

landowners an opportunity to present their views regarding the process, and the landowner will be paid

fair market value as determined by an independent appraiser. Palmetto will make every attempt to

negotiate with landowners to arrive at a mutually agreed upon easement before the use of eminent

domain is even considered. Palmetto prefers not to use eminent domain.

3.

If I am an impacted landowner, what can I do with my land if I grant an easement to Palmetto or if aneasement is obtained through eminent domain?

The landowner will retain ownership of the property. Pipeline easements are compatible with many

agricultural and other uses.

4.

Will the products transported by the Palmetto Pipeline be exported?

No, all of the product transported through Palmetto Pipeline will be for consumption in markets in the

southeastern United States. None of the proposed terminals in North Augusta, the Savannah area and

Jacksonville are export terminals. The Palmetto Pipeline has been designed to provide transportation

service from the Gulf Coast refineries to these market centers and no further. Considering that the Gulf

Coast refineries where products transported through the Palmetto Pipeline will originate have marine

export capabilities, it would be not be economical to transport product to North Augusta, Savannah or

Jacksonville for export outside of the United States.

5.

Why does gasoline cost more at the pump in Savannah than in Macon and other places?

The answer to this question was explained by Colonial Oil, currently the primary supplier of oil in the

Savannah area, as reported by the Savannah Morning News on April 7, 2013:

“Many Savannah residents complain that gas prices are lower in other Georgia cities, such as Atlanta and

Macon, and they're correct, said Ryan Chandler, vice president of business development at Colonial Group

Inc.



45/98

‘The reason for the lower prices is that those markets have access to a pipeline supply direct from the U.S.

Gulf Coast,’ he said. ‘Savannah is forced to pay what amounts to a Jones Act penalty to bring gasoline and

diesel in from the Gulf Coast, and that's only if there are ships available to carry the cargo,’ Chandler said.

‘When Jones Act ships aren't available, Colonial is forced to import gasoline and diesel from foreign

markets to meet Savannah's needs, which frankly can't compete with pipeline economics plus truck freight

to Savannah.’”
