ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1 1 INTRODUCTION Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Transco), a subsidiary of Williams Partners L.P. (Williams), will file an application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate) with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) for the proposed Atlantic Sunrise Project (Project). The Project is an expansion of Transcos existing natural gas transmission system that will enable Transco to provide 1.7 million dekatherms per day (MMDth/d) of incremental firm transportation capacity for growing supplies of natural gas from northern Pennsylvania to various delivery points along the Transco Mainline system to as far south as the Station 85 Pooling Points 1 in Choctaw County, Alabama. The Project consists of the following primary components: Approximately 177.3 miles of new 30-inch and 42-inch diameter greenfield pipelines in Pennsylvania; Approximately 14.5 miles of new 36-inch and 42-inch diameter pipeline loops in Pennsylvania; Two new compressor stations in Pennsylvania; Additional ancillary facilities, such as mainline valves (MLVs), cathodic protection, communication towers, and internal inspection device launchers and receivers in Pennsylvania; Additional compression and related modifications to three existing compressor stations in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia; Two new meter stations with interconnecting piping in Pennsylvania; Three new regulator stations with interconnecting piping in Pennsylvania; Approximately 2.5 miles of 30-inch diameter pipeline replacements in Virginia; Modifications to six existing compressor stations that enable compression for bi- directional flow, and/or supplemental odorization, odor detection, and/or odor masking/deodorization equipment in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina; and Supplemental odorization, odor detection, and odor masking/deodorization equipment, at various meter stations, and valve sites in North Carolina and South Carolina.
1 A pooling point defines the aggregation of gas from multiple physical and/or virtual receipt points to a single physical or virtual point; and the disaggregation of gas from a single physical or virtual point to multiple physical and/or virtual delivery points. ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 2 Should the FERC certificate the Project and upon receipt of necessary permits and authorizations, Transco anticipates construction of the Project would commence in June 2016 to meet an in-service date of July 1, 2017. This Summary of Alternatives describes the alternatives that Transco has considered or are under consideration for the Project. (Transco will provide additional analysis of these alternatives and any others identified during scoping in Resource Report (RR) 10, anticipated to be submitted in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2014.) 2 SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES Transco is submitting this summary of the alternatives considered or under consideration in accordance with 18 CFR 157.21(f)(5) of the pre-filing procedures and review process for natural gas facilities under FERC jurisdiction prior to filing its application. Transco anticipates submittal of draft RR 10 in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2014, which will address, at a minimum, the following: A detailed no-action alternative ( 380.12(l)(1)); The effect of energy conservation or energy alternatives to the Project ( 380.12(l)(1)); Further discussion of system alternatives considered during the identification of the Project with rationale for rejecting each alternative ( 380.12(l)(1)); Further discussion of major and minor route alternatives considered to avoid impact on sensitive environmental areas (e.g., wetlands, parks, or residences), including sufficient comparative data to justify the selection of the proposed route ( 380.12(l)(2)(ii)); and Further discussion of alternative sites considered for the location of major new aboveground facilities with sufficient comparative data to justify the selection of the proposed sites ( 380.12(l)(2)(ii)). 3 NO-ACTION ALTERNATIVE The No-Action alternative for the Project will describe the benefits/consequences of not constructing the Project. For example, if Transco does not construct the planned facilities, temporary and permanent environmental impacts associated with construction and operation would be avoided. However, by not constructing the proposed Project, Transco would not be able to provide the natural gas transportation service requested by the customers that have executed binding agreements for the Projects capacity, as described in RR 1. The No-Action ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 3 alternative would further preclude other beneficial impacts of implementing the Project from occurring, including increased employment, income, and tax revenues. The No-Action alternative would not meet the purpose and need of the Project. Existing Transco and other natural gas facilities in or near the Project area do not provide adequate pipeline capacity for transportation of natural gas to meet customer demand. On a broader scale, implementing the No-Action alternative would not support the goal of increasing access to stable and reliable natural gas supplies in the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States. If the necessary quantities of natural gas are not available, consumers may seek other sources of fossil fuel, which, in general, are environmentally less desirable. Alternatively, in response to this demand other companies may construct natural gas pipeline projects to transport the large quantities of gas production from northern Pennsylvania, and these projects would result in their own environmental impacts. Such actions would likely result in the transference of environmental impacts from one location to another, but would not eliminate or reduce all environmental impacts. To date, no other project has been proposed or is known to be in development to meet the purpose and need of the Project. 4 ALTERNATIVE MEANS TO MEET THE PROJECT PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES The demand for natural gas to meet projected energy needs continues to increase in the Project area. Although it is speculative, it is possible that energy users that lack access to additional affordable and reliable supplies of natural gas may seek other options including increased conservation or the use of other energy sources. However, when considering the use of alternate energy sources, the ability of Transcos customers to incorporate other fuels into their existing processes or the additional expense of refitting or retrofitting for these alternative sources must be considered. (Transco will address potential energy alternatives, such as wind power, solar power, geothermal power, coal, oil, nuclear, hydroelectric, fuel cells, and other energy sources, in draft RR 10, which is anticipated to be submitted in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2014.) 5 SYSTEM ALTERNATIVES System alternatives differ from alternative pipeline routes (major/minor route alternatives or route variations) because they make use of existing or modified pipeline systems to meet the objectives of the Project. The purpose of identifying and evaluating system alternatives is to determine if the impact associated with construction and operation of the proposed facilities could be avoided or reduced while still allowing the stated objective of the Project to be met. A ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 4 project system alternative could make it unnecessary to construct all or most of the Project, although modifications or additions to another existing pipeline system may be required to increase its capacity sufficiently to transport the Project volumes. These modifications or additions could result in environmental impacts, which could be less than or greater than those associated with construction of the Project. For this Project, potential system alternatives include: 1) the use of existing pipeline systems, with or without system upgrades; 2) different configuration of Transcos proposed facilities (such as more compression and less pipeline or less compression and more pipeline); and 3) any other planned pipeline systems that meet the Project objectives. Transcos customers have subscribed to transport 1.7 MMDth/d of natural gas through the Project. Transco is currently evaluating system alternatives using other existing or planned pipeline systems in Pennsylvania that could potentially transport Transcos proposed volumes of gas for its customers. (Transco will provide an evaluation of system alternatives in draft RR 10 that is anticipated to be submitted in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2014.) 6 ROUTE ALTERNATIVES Transco is evaluating pipeline routing and compressor station site options based on routing optimization factors including regional topography, environmental impacts, population density, existing land use, and construction safety and feasibility considerations. The primary objective of Transcos alternatives analysis is to develop a constructible Project that will accomplish the Project purpose while avoiding or minimizing potential adverse environmental impact to the greatest extent practicable and to comply with existing regulatory requirements including the Commissions guidelines, as set forth in 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 380.15. Transcos pipeline route process included the following three types of route alternatives for the Project: Major route alternative - a route that differs substantially in both length and distance from the primary route; Minor route alternative a route that deviates on short segments from the primary route; and Route deviation - minor adjustments to the primary route, typically to avoid specific features (e.g., topography, sensitive habitat, and structures). ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 5 6.1 ROUTE START AND ENDPOINTS To begin the process of locating a route for the planned pipeline facilities, Transco identified the start and endpoints of the proposed new pipeline facilities necessary to meet the stated purpose and need of the Project while maximizing the use of existing Transco infrastructure for efficiency and reliability and minimizing the amount of incremental facilities required. Under these parameters, Transco is designing the Project to have the capacity to receive up to 850,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of natural gas at the existing Williams Zick Compressor Station in Susquehanna County and 850,000 Dth/d of natural gas from various receipt points on Transcos existing Leidy Line system, which together constitute the 1.7 MMDth/d for which Transcos customers have subscribed. As such, Williams Zick Compressor Station was identified as the northern start point of the proposed pipeline route. Transco determined that the optimal aggregation location for gas flows is at a point on the Leidy Line system east of, and in proximity to, the existing Transco Compressor Station 517 in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. This location is the most efficient point for two reasons: 1) gas flows will be aggregated at a point where there are three existing Leidy Line system pipelines, which reduces the amount of looping required along the Leidy Line system for the Project volumes; and 2) the location leverages and provides pressure flexibility from the new horsepower (hp) at Compressor Station 517 to provide higher pressure gas into the proposed pipeline. Furthermore, if the aggregation point is located west of Compressor Station 517, additional hp would likely be required at proposed Compressor Station 610 and proposed Compressor Station 605. Consequently, Transco determined that the northern segment of the pipeline route must extend between the receipt point at Williams Zick Compressor Station and at the endpoint along the Transco Leidy Line system in proximity to and east of existing Compressor Station 517. The southern Project endpoint must be located along the existing Transco existing Mainline system in order to provide year-round firm transportation service to customers along the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States to as far south as the Transco Pooling Point at Station 85 in Choctaw County, Alabama. In order to minimize the amount of additional facilities needed to meet the Project objectives, Transco determined that the optimal endpoint of the pipeline route is a tie-in to the Transco Mainline system as close as practical to existing Compressor Station 195 as it is the optimal point to deliver the Project volumes into the Transco Mainline system. At this endpoint, Transco is able to maximize the utilization of its existing Mainline system facilities, which avoids the need for looping and additional horsepower along ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 6 the Mainline system. The proposed endpoint is located approximately 8 miles north of existing Compressor Station 195 in York County, Pennsylvania. 6.2 ROUTE SELECTION Transco considered the following factors in the selection of the pipeline route alternatives between the Project northern and southern endpoints identified above: regional topography, potential adverse environmental impacts, population density, existing land use, and construction safety and feasibility considerations. When identifying routing options, Transco attempted to co-locate with existing utility corridors and rights-of-way to the maximum extent possible. The use of co-location as a principle design element is consistent with Commissions guidelines, which stress the corridor concept, and complements the existing land use characteristics in the Project area. Siting pipeline facilities along the existing corridors and right- of-way (ROW) reduces the establishment of new corridors in previously undisturbed areas, while limiting the number of affected landowners. Transco defines co-location as siting a pipeline ROW that: Lies within an existing ROW or easement; Abuts an existing ROW or easement; or Parallels an existing ROW or easement within 300 feet. Transco used various data sources to identify and evaluate pipeline route alternatives, including observations during field reconnaissance; Google Earth; geographic information system (GIS) databases from county, state, and federal sources; recently flown aerial photography; United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps; and National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps. After its initial evaluation, Transco narrowed its analysis to its preferred major route alternative, a 600-foot-wide corridor that optimizes the routing factors listed above. Transco has divided the preferred alternative into two segments: CPL North and CPL South (see Figure 6.2-1). As discussed above, the aggregation of the two CPL pipelines will be a point on the Leidy Line system east of, and in proximity to, the existing Transco Compressor Station 517 in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. For this summary of alternatives, Transco refers to the CPL North and CPL South as its primary routes.

All MPs starting with L refer to locations along Transcos existing Leidy Line system. The pipeline route extends northeasterly approximately 56 miles and terminates at Williams Zick Compressor Station in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. Approximately 21 miles of the route is co-located with Transcos Leidy Line system, approximately 5 miles is co-located with the Williams Partners Springville Pipeline (24-inch diameter midstream pipeline), and the remaining 30 miles is greenfield. The CPL North route is being engineered to maximize co-location with the Transco Leidy Line and Williams midstream systems; avoid populated areas and residences to the maximum extent practicable; minimize environmental impacts; and meet construction reliability and feasibility requirements. 6.2.2 CPL South The CPL South route commences near MP 1682.7 of Transcos existing Mainline system in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The pipeline route extends north for approximately 121 miles and terminates near MP L113.8 of the existing Transco existing Leidy Line pipeline in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. Approximately 22 miles of the route is co-located with other utility rights-of-way, and the remaining approximately 99 miles is greenfield. The CPL South route is being engineered to avoid populated areas and residences to the maximum extent practicable; minimize environmental impacts; and meet construction feasibility requirements. 6.3 MAJOR ROUTE ALTERNATIVES Transco considered four other major route alternatives before selecting its preferred alternative: the Diamond CPL North Alternative, Williams Midstream CPL North Alternative, Transco Looping CPL South Alternative, and Western CPL South Alternative as depicted in Figure 6.2-1. Each of major route alternatives is described below. 6.3.1 Diamond CPL North Alternative The Diamond CPL North Alternative starts at the existing Williams Zick Compressor Station in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The route continues south for approximately 80 miles and terminates near approximate MP 90.0 of the CPL South in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. Approximately 42 miles of the route is co-located with other rights-of-way, with the remaining approximately 38 miles primarily greenfield. The Diamond CPL North Alternative is about 24 miles longer than CPL North; it moves the terminus of the CPL North route and the ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 9 aggregation location with flows from CPL South near CPL South approximate MP 90.0, rather than near MP L113.8 on the Leidy Line system. Transco did not select this route due to the following constraints: It would increase the combined mileage of CPL North by 24 miles; It would likely require a second new compressor station for additional compression along the CPL North pipeline; and The route crosses in proximity to Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, resulting in significant impacts to residential and other developed areas. 6.3.2 Williams Midstream CPL North Alternative The Williams Midstream CPL North Alternative starts at the existing Zick Compressor Station in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The route continues west along Williams Midstream Appalachian Basin Area, co-locating with 10-inch and 12-inch diameter pipelines for approximately 11 miles, then continues south. It runs adjacent to the existing Williams Partners Springville 24-inch diameter midstream pipeline for approximately 36 miles, beyond which it runs another 22 miles as greenfield before terminating at its connection point, near approximate MP 21.0 on the CPL North route in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The Williams Midstream CPL North Alternative is approximately 13 miles longer than CPL North. Transco did not select this route due to the following constraints: The smaller diameter midstream pipeline routes exhibit several tight turns that would be impractical for the route of the 30-inch diameter CPL North pipeline, making 100 percent co-location through certain areas of the alternative infeasible. The alternative crosses through denser population centers, particularly on the south end where the alternative route is not co-located with the Springville Pipeline. This would result in significant impacts to residential and other developed areas. 6.3.3 Transco Looping CPL South Alternative The Transco Looping CPL South Alternative would utilize Transcos existing Leidy Line system and Mainline system rights-of-way by installing non-contiguous pipeline looping along these systems. The alternative starts near MP L113.8 in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, just east of the existing Transco Compressor Station 517. From this point, the alternative route ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 10 traverses east along the Leidy Line system to existing Compressor Station 515 in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, continuing southeast along the Leidy Line system to existing Compressor Station 505 in Somerset County, New Jersey. The route continues south to existing Compressor Station 205 in Mercer County, New Jersey continuing southwest to the southern terminus of CPL South in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The current primary route for CPL North would be the same for the Transco Looping CPL South Alternative. Transco did not select this route due to the following constraints: The alternative requires at least 60 miles of additional CPL South pipeline construction along the Transco Mainline and Leidy Line system. The longer distance of this route would require more land than the CPL South route for construction and operation and would significantly increase impacts on land uses, especially on forest lands, agricultural lands, wetlands, and waterbodies. The alternative requires at least 50,000 incremental hp of additional compression at three additional existing Transco compressor stations. The route is in proximity to several populated areas, resulting in greater impacts to residential and other developed areas. Due to encroachment of residential and commercial structures along the Transco Mainline and Leidy Line systems, certain areas would be challenging for looping or 100 percent co-location and may require other greenfield portions to be constructed, further increasing the overall pipeline mileage of the Project. The increased mileage and environmental impacts of this alternative exceed the economic threshold for constructing and meeting the purpose and need of the Project. Consequently, the Transco Looping CPL South Alternative was eliminated from further consideration. 6.3.4 Western CPL South Alternative The Western CPL South Alternative starts in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, near approximate MP L123.0 of the Leidy Line system. The route continues south for approximately 133 miles and terminates at the existing Transco Compressor Station 195 in York County, Pennsylvania. Approximately 41.3 miles of the route is co-located with other utility rights-of-way, with the remaining approximately 92 miles primarily greenfield. The Western CPL South Alternative is approximately 12 miles longer than CPL South. The preferred alternative route for ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 11 CPL North would not change for the Western CPL South Alternative. Transco did not select this route due to the following constraints: The longer distance of this route would require more land than the CPL South route for construction and operation and may significantly increase impacts on land uses, especially on forest lands, agricultural lands, wetlands, and waterbodies. Transco was unable to identify a suitable location to install the pipeline across the Susquehanna River that would be necessary to interconnect with the southern endpoint on the Transco Mainline system. The route is in proximity to Harrisburg and Hershey, Pennsylvania, resulting in significant impacts to residential and other developed areas. The route is also in proximity to the Three-Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. 6.4 MINOR ROUTE ALTERNATIVES At this time, Transco is considering five minor route alternatives, two on CPL North and three on CPL South (see Figure 6.4-1). Transco will develop and evaluate additional route alternatives, as necessary, to address site-specific conditions encountered during the field siting process, and to address concerns raised during the public scoping and agency review processes. (Draft Resource Report 10, which Transco anticipates submitting in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2014, will present a quantitative comparison of the CPL North and CPL South routes and minor route alternatives both in narrative and in tables similar to the example provided below.)

Following is a brief overview of each minor route alternative Transco is considering at this time for CPL North and CPL South. 6.4.1 CPL North Alternative 1 CPL North Alternative 1 is under consideration as a possible crossing of the Susquehanna River. The alternative route diverges from the primary route near MP 33.6 in Wyoming County, extends 6.1 miles to the northeast, and intersects the primary route near MP 38.4 in Wyoming County. This segment is 1.3 miles longer than the corresponding segment of the primary route. Transco is reviewing CPL North Alternative 1 to determine if a crossing, including the possibility of a horizontal directional drill (HDD), of the Susquehanna River is feasible at this location.

Transco is also reviewing the viewshed and environmental considerations for this alternative. Transco will consult with the National Park Service (NPS) and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy for primary and alternative crossings of the Appalachian Trail. (Transco will provide correspondence with the NPS and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy to the Commission upon receipt.) 6.4.4 CPL South Alternative 2 CPL South Alternative 2 is under consideration to maximize co-location with an existing electric transmission line. The alternative route diverges from the primary route near MP 73.9 in Schuylkill County, extends about 17 miles to the north, and rejoins the primary route near MP 91.1 in Columbia County. This segment is approximately 1 mile longer than the corresponding segment of the primary route. Transco is reviewing CPL South Alternative 2 to determine if co-location with the electric transmission line is feasible. 6.4.5 CPL South Alternative 3 CPL South Alternative 3 is under consideration to maximize co-location with an existing interstate pipeline and electric transmission line. The alternative route diverges from the primary route near MP 103.5 in Columbia County, extends 19.4 miles to the north, and ends at the terminus of the primary route. This segment is about 1.5 miles longer than the corresponding ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 16 segment of the primary route. Transco is reviewing CPL South Alternative 3 to determine if co-location with the existing interstate pipeline and electric transmission line is feasible. 6.5 ROUTE DEVIATIONS Transco is currently evaluating localized route deviations for CPL South and CPL North based on landowner and stakeholder comments and review of engineering and environmental field survey data. (Draft RR 10, which Transco anticipates submitting in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2014, will include a summary of quantitative comparisons of route deviations identified during the scoping period.) The Tucquan Glenn route deviation is under development and consideration by Transco and is located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (see Figure 6.5-1). Transco has received public comments expressing concerns regarding the proposed pipeline crossing of the Tucquan Glenn Nature Preserve near approximate MP 5.0. This preserve is owned by the Lancaster County Conservancy and covers 336 acres within the Tucquan Creek watershed. A publically accessible hiking trail runs through the preserve. Transco will consult with the Lancaster County Conservancy on the Tucquan Glenn route deviation and any other proposed crossings of lands managed by the Lancaster County Conservancy. (Transco will provide correspondence with Lancaster County Conservancy to the Commission upon receipt.) The Tucquan Glenn route deviation would avoid crossing the preserve. It diverges from the CPL South route near MP 4.4 in Lancaster County, extend about 2.7 miles to the northwest, and intersects the primary route near MP 6.7 in Lancaster County. This route deviation is approximately 2.4 miles longer than the corresponding segment of the primary route. (A complete analysis of environmental impacts for the Tucquan Glenn route deviation, as well as evaluation of additional route deviations, will be provided in draft RR 10 which Transco anticipates submitting in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2014.) 6.6 ADDITIONAL REFINEMENT OF CPL NORTH AND CPL SOUTH ROUTES At this time, Transco has identified a 600-foot-wide study corridor along the greenfield portions of the CPL North and CPL South routes. Through its stakeholder outreach process, Transco is seeking specific input on the primary routes principally within the study corridor. In addition, Transco is undertaking rigorous field surveys and research to identify a constructible pipeline centerline within this 600-foot-wide corridor that would have the least impact on the environment and landowners while maintaining constructability and safety. Transco is seeking, DRAWING NUMBER: DATE: t F-FQ-CPLS-Tucquan Glen Deviation 12:41 PM 4/28/2014 Z:\101769\6_Users\cnc\PreFile\TucquanDeviation.mxd FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY SUBJECT TO REVISION PRELIMINARY 4/28/2014 DRAWN BY: CNC BE CHECKED BY: WO: APPROVED BY: DATE: ISSUE FOR CONSTRUCTION: ISSUE FOR BID: SCALE: NOTED W.O.

The preferred alternatives developed during pre-filing will be Transcos proposed routes when Transco files its application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity with the Commission in March 2015. 7 PIPELINE LOOPS AND PIPELINE REPLACEMENT As part of this Project, Transco is also proposing two pipeline loops and pipeline replacements: Grugan Loop, Unity Loop, and Mainlines A and B Replacements. 7.1 PRIMARY ROUTE IDENTIFICATION AND SELECTION Transco identified the start and endpoints of the proposed new looping facilities to meet its stated purpose and need of the Project while maximizing existing Transco infrastructure for efficiency and reliability and minimizing the amount of incremental facilities required. As previously discussed, Transco is designing its Project to have the capacity to receive up to 850,000 Dth/d of natural gas at the existing Williams Zick Compressor Station in Susquehanna County and up to 850,000 Dth/d of natural gas from various receipt points on Transcos existing Leidy Line system, which together constitute the 1.7 MMDth/d for which Transcos customers have subscribed. Transco determined that the optimal location for these gas flows to be aggregated will be at a point on the Leidy Line system east of and in proximity to the existing Transco Compressor Station 517 in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. This location is the most efficient location to take gas flows from the Leidy Line system because the Project will be able to receive gas flows from three existing Leidy Line pipelines at this location, which reduces the amount of looping pipelines required along the Leidy Line system for the increased gas supplies. Consequently, Transco determined the first segment of the pipeline route must start at Williams Zick Compressor Station and extend to a location along the Transco Leidy Line system in proximity to Compressor Station 517. The primary Grugan and Unity Loops routes, as discussed below, are required to facilitate the transportation of incremental volumes from receipt points along the Leidy Line system to the CPL South interconnect near MP L113.8. 7.1.1 Grugan Loop The primary route of the Grugan Loop consists of approximately 5.5 miles of 36-inch pipeline parallel to the existing Leidy Line system in Clinton County, Pennsylvania. This loop ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 19 extends from MPs L171.8 to L177.3 on the existing Transco Leidy Line system. The Leidy Line system between these MPs currently has four pipelines within the existing permanent easement. Once constructed and in operation, Transco will refer to the Grugan Loop as the Leidy Line E pipeline. 7.1.2 Unity Loop The primary route of the Unity Loop consists of approximately 9 miles of 42-inch pipeline parallel to the existing Leidy Line system in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. This pipeline loops the Leidy Line system from MPs L119.9 to L128.9. The existing Leidy Line system between these MPs currently has three pipelines within the existing permanent easement. Once constructed, Transco would refer to the Unity Loop as the Leidy Line D pipeline. 7.1.3 Mainline A and B Replacements The Mainline A and B replacement segments consist of replacing a total of approximately 2.5 miles of Transcos existing 30-inch Mainline A pipeline and 30-inch Mainline B pipeline between MPs 1578.7 and 1583.0 in Prince William County, Virginia. 7.2 MAJOR, MINOR AND ROUTE DEVIATION ALTERNATIVES: PIPELINE LOOPS AND PIPELINE REPLACEMENT The primary routes of the loops and replacements are fully co-located with existing Transco pipeline rights-of way. As previously discussed, co-location has several inherent engineering, long-term operations, maintenance, and environmental advantages. Typically, alternatives deviations from the corridor result in additional construction impacts, additional installation costs, and additional operating costs (two separate rights-of-way to maintain instead of one). Pipeline loops are usually shorter and more efficient hydraulically than deviations because of their placement adjacent to the existing pipeline. At this time, Transco is considering one major route alternative to the Grugan Loop. Transco will develop and evaluate additional route alternatives for the Grugan and Unity Loops as necessary to address concerns raised during the public scoping, agency review processes, and field surveys. Because the Mainline A and B replacement segments will be located within areas where Transco currently holds easements and limited construction workspace is required, Transco does not anticipate any route alternatives for these facilities. (Evaluation of any additional route alternatives along the loops will be included in draft RR 10, which Transco anticipates submitting in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2014.) ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 20 Grugan Loop Alternative 1 Grugan Loop Alternative 1 is under consideration to reduce the overall loop length (see Figure 7.2-1). The alternative looping route originates west of the primary route near MP L188.9 in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, and extends about 3 miles to the east, ending near MP L185.9. This segment is about 2.5 miles shorter than the corresponding segment of the primary route. Transco are reviewing Grugan Loop Alternative 1 to assess the impacts and constructability of this alternative to determine if the loop can be moved and reduced in length. 8 COMPRESSOR STATION ALTERNATIVES Transco conducted a hydraulic analysis to determine the optimum hp and compression required for the Project to provide the volumes of natural gas necessary to meet market demand. As a result, Transco identified the need for two new compressor stations: one on CPL North (Compressor Station 605) and one on CPL South (Compressor Station 610). While the availability of land for purchase is an obvious limiting factor in the site selection process, the following considerations will also influence Transcos determination of site suitability for the new compressor stations: Engineering Design and Construction: Pipeline companies consider several engineering design and construction factors when selecting a compressor station site, including facility and workspace requirements, topography, elevation, road access, and noise sensitive receptors. Hydraulics limitations: hp requirements for Compressor Stations 605 and 610 may increase if station sites move farther downstream of the aggregated receipt points. Land/workspace requirements: Transco undertook a detailed analysis to select a 30-acre or larger property for each site to install the new compressor stations. Site elevation: Transco sought out land parcels featuring topography that minimizes the extent of fill or excavation of soil required during construction of the new facility, including workspace needs. Road access: Transco sought to maximize proximity of the new compressor stations to the nearest public road, thereby minimizing the need for new access roads, as well as minimizing the need for modifications or improvements to existing roads.

Interconnecting pipe: To minimize the impact on the surrounding community, Transco favors siting the new compressor stations on properties closest to the proposed rights-of-way so that they would not require pipeline extensions for the suction and discharge piping. This approach also minimizes the land requirements for the Project, thereby minimizing the number of affected property owners. Transco has identified three locations that meet the requirements for Compressor Station 605 and three locations that meet the requirements for Compressor Station 610 (see Figures 8-1 and 8-2). Transco is currently evaluating environmental impact parameters for the alternative compressor station sites based on desktop resources, such as 7.5-minute USGS topographic maps, aerial photography, and available literature on environmental resources. Several environmental characteristics are being evaluated using these resources. (Draft RR 10, anticipated to be submitted in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2014, will include a quantitative comparison of the compressor station site alternatives both in narrative form and in tables similar to the example provided below.)

The following is a brief overview of each compressor station site alternative Transco is considering at this time for Compressor Station 605 and Compressor Station 610: Compressor Station 605, Option A (CS 605 A) A 30-acre or larger parcel located in Lenox Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The site consists entirely of agricultural land. ATLANTIC SUNRISE PROJECT SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 23 Compressor Station 605, Option B (CS 605 B) A 30-acre or larger parcel located in Lenox Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The site is a mixture of agricultural and forest land. Compressor Station 605, Option C (CS 605 C) A 30-acre or larger parcel located in Clinton Township, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania. The site consists entirely of agricultural land. Compressor Station 610, Option A (CS 610 A) A 30-acre or larger parcel located in Hemlock Township, Columbia County, Pennsylvania. The site consists entirely of agricultural land. Compressor Station 610, Option B (CS 610 B) A 30-acre or larger parcel located in Hemlock Township, Columbia County, Pennsylvania. The site consists entirely of agricultural land. Compressor Station 610, Option C (CS 610 C) A 30-acre or larger parcel located in Mt. Pleasant Township, Columbia County, Pennsylvania. The site consists entirely of agricultural land. Gas Turbine Design Alternative Transco is proposing electric motor drives for Compressor Station 605, Compressor Station 610, and Compressor Station 190. However, if Transco cannot obtain access to reliable electricity, or if routing power to the compressor stations causes more substantial cumulative impacts to the environment, Transco will evaluate the use of gas turbines. Further evaluation will consider the following gas turbine components at the proposed new compressor stations: Compressor Station 605 Two Solar Mars 100S 15,000 hp each; and Compressor Station 610 One Solar Titan 250S 30,000 hp and one Solar Titan 130S 20,500 hp.
