6 10.0 PennEast Pipeline Company, LLC (PennEast) has prepared this Resource Report to support its application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate) for the PennEast Pipeline Project (Project). PennEast designed its Project to provide a direct and flexible path for transporting natural gas produced in the Marcellus Shale play in northeastern Pennsylvania to growing natural gas markets in New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, southeastern Pennsylvania and surrounding states with the capability of providing approximately 1.1 million dekatherms per day (MMDth/d) of year-round natural gas transportation service. This Resource Report focuses on the Project facilities and locations that PennEast selected as of September, The Project consists of the following primary components: 114 miles of new 36-inch diameter mainline pipeline extending from Dallas Township in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania to Hopewell Township in Mercer County, New Jersey; 2.1-miles of new 24-inch diameter lateral near Hellertown, Northampton County, Pennsylvania to transport gas to an interconnection with Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC (Columbia Gas) and UGI Utilities, Inc. (UGI Utilities); 0.6-miles of new 12-inch diameter lateral near Holland Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey to transport gas to Pivotal Utility Holdings, Inc. (d/b/a Elizabethtown Gas) (Elizabethtown Gas) and NRG REMA, LLC s Gilbert Power Station; 1.4-miles of new 36-inch diameter lateral in West Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey to transport gas to an interconnection with Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC (Algonquin) and Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern); One new compressor station in Carbon County, Pennsylvania; and Various associated aboveground facilities including interconnects, launchers, receivers, and mainline block valves to support the pipeline system. The Project will be rated for a maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of 1,480 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). Figure in Resource Report 1 provides a Project Overview Map showing the locations of the proposed pipeline route and associated facilities. This Resource Report discusses the alternatives identified and evaluated during the development of the Project and effects on the desired benefits of the Project. Four principal types of alternatives are evaluated in the following sections: No-action alternative; System alternatives; alternatives; and Aboveground site alternatives. PennEast designed the Project to reflect both customer need and siting requirements. Initially, PennEast identified a potential market need for the transportation of 800,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of new natural gas supply to its customers in eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and surrounding states. PennEast held an open season between August 11, 2014, and August 29, Following the open season, PennEast executed precedent agreements with 12 shippers for 990,000 Dth/day of capacity. As a result of this increased demand, PennEast resized the proposed mainline pipeline from 30-inch to 36-inch diameter. FINAL 10-1 FERC Section 7(c) Application

7 PennEast evaluated the Project s siting options using a variety of criteria, including environmental and stakeholder impacts, economic benefits and costs, Project timing, operational parameters and engineering and technological parameters. The primary objective in evaluating alternatives for siting was to avoid, minimize, and, if necessary, mitigate adverse effects while satisfying the customer need discussed above. A Critical Issues Analysis (CIA) was conducted as an initial step in assessing the feasibility of the overall Project. This assessment focused on a Project initiation point at an existing pipeline facility in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania at Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. s (formerly known as Regency Energy Partners LP) (Regency) Wyoming Pipeline interconnect to an end point in Mercer County, New Jersey at an interconnect with Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Company, LLC (Transco). PennEast identified two preliminary routes through the initial screening. Initially, PennEast estimated that the proposed Project would be approximately 100 miles in length with a study corridor of 400 feet in width. For the initial CIA, PennEast performed a desktop analysis across an area of consideration approximately one-half mile in width along the corridors. This allowed PennEast to get a clear understanding of potential engineering and environmental constraints within the Project area and the expanded geography encompassed the necessary area for access roads and staging areas. Desktop Analysis For the Pennsylvania portions of the Project, PennEast utilized resources such as the Pennsylvania Spatial Data Access, Pennsylvania Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Mapping Directory and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) map viewer. These geospatial information clearinghouses allowed PennEast to gather relevant GIS data and filter on over 1000 data categories. Similarly, for the New Jersey portions of the Project, PennEast utilized resources such as the New Jersey Geographic Information Network (NJGIN) and the i-map New Jersey DEP application. Table 10-1 provides an overview of the data resources that were used for desktop analysis. PennEast exported data from various geospatial repositories and mapping applications into a kmz file for it to review with internal software such as Google Earth. In addition, PennEast assigned mile posts to the pipeline from the Wyoming Interconnect in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania to the terminus at Transco in Mercer County, New Jersey. Mile postings were to the nearest tenth of a mile and facilitated the tabulation and analysis of critical issues.

Accordingly, this option would have adverse consequences on the markets they serve. An additional supply of natural gas to the region FINAL 10-3 FERC Section 7(c) Application

9 would provide a benefit to consumers, utilities and electric generators by providing enhanced competition among suppliers and pipeline transportation providers. Constructing the Project would satisfy the needs of shippers seeking (i) additional supply flexibility, diversity and reliability; (ii) liquid points for trading in locally produced gas from the Marcellus Shale and the Utica Shale; (iii) direct access to premium markets in the northeast and mid-atlantic regions; (iv) the ability to capture pricing differentials between the various interconnected market pipelines; (iv) enhanced natural gas transportation system reliability to the region with modern, state-of-the art facilities and (v) firm access to currently the most affordable long-lived dry gas reserves. These benefits would not be realized with the no-action alternative. The no-action alternative would avoid temporary and permanent environmental impacts associated with the Project. However, the Project shippers, including local distribution companies, power generators, marketers, producers and others, would likely pursue alternate natural gas transportation projects that could potentially result in similar environmental impacts. Potential examples of these impacts include the construction of additional or greenfield natural gas pipeline facilities in other locations, dependence on alternate higher emission fuel sources, such as coal or oil, and increased demand for already limited electrical resources. The winter season demonstrated that there were constraints in the Mid-Atlantic supply system, evidenced by the dramatic regional price impacts described in Figure of Resource Report 1. The lack of a new pipeline with access to supply sources in Pennsylvania will continue to create dramatic seasonal pricing fluctuations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with higher gas and electric rates and potential for energy shortages during peak demand, resulting in threats to business continuity, public safety and national security. While the extreme pricing events of the winter were not as significant in the winter for a number of external factors, such as lower oil prices, the sustained difference between natural gas prices in the northeastern Pennsylvania production region and the market regions served by the Project were significant and lasted longer. This is shown in Figure of Resource Report 1. Given the Project shippers need for additional pipeline capacity, the potential benefit to regional economic growth from the proposed Project, and the potential for significant increase in regional air emissions or similar or greater environmental impacts resulting from an alternate natural gas transportation project if the Project was not constructed, no further analysis of this alternative was conducted. Therefore, the no-action alternative is not considered a viable alternative to the proposed action, because it would not accomplish the stated Project purpose and need to provide the volumes of natural gas transportation services to the expanding mid-atlantic market to serve the long-term pipeline transportation needs of the companies that have subscribed capacity on the PennEast system Energy Conservation The energy conservation alternatives discussed in this section will not meet the needs of the Project shippers in the proposed timeline and, therefore, are not preferable to the proposed action. However, together with increased supply of natural gas, energy conservation will continue to contribute to meeting the overall future energy needs of the marketplace. The use of the energy conservation alternative for meeting the demands of PennEast s customers includes the following potential results: Potential for improvements in energy conservation in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors beyond the current energy conservation measures already being practiced; and FINAL 10-4 FERC Section 7(c) Application

10 Potential for increasing the efficiency of the existing natural gas transmission systems through system optimization, which includes the use of load management techniques at both the end-use consumer and utility level and the identification and elimination of bottlenecks in the existing gas transmission system that decrease the effective capacity of the system. Energy conservation has been successful in some areas, and it continues to be encouraged in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. However, natural gas continues to be considered the preferred non-renewable fuel because of its inherent clean-burning properties and, because it is produced and abundant in North America, it reduces reliance on foreign-produced oil. The implementation of air quality legislation enhances fuel conservation in numerous energy use sectors. In many cases, legislation encourages the use of natural gas over other more environmentally taxing fuels, such as oil and coal. Increases in population and commercial and industrial uses of natural gas have contributed to the increased demand for natural gas. The Project will help to increase the efficiency of the current natural gas transmission system by reducing bottlenecks in the system. Furthermore, this is primarily a market-driven project that is designed to provide a pipeline transportation solution to connect Marcellus Shale production located in close proximity to major growing natural gas markets. Programs designed to encourage fuel conservation are unlikely to eliminate the need to construct new pipeline infrastructure to serve this emerging production area. In summary, natural gas demand in the marketplace is continuing to grow despite programs designed to encourage fuel conservation. Conservation alone will not address the growing demand for natural gas in the relevant markets in the Project timeframe. Fuel conservation should continue to be an ongoing alternative used in concert with the development of additional, more efficient natural gas transportation and distribution systems. The modifications proposed by the Project can be considered steps to accomplishing this part of the energy conservation alternative Energy Alternatives The alternative energy sources discussed in this section would not meet the Project s purpose and need and, therefore, would not be preferable to the proposed action. Alternative energy sources used together with natural gas could contribute to meeting the overall future energy needs of the marketplace. Potential alternative energy sources include coal, oil, nuclear energy, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and electricity generated from these sources, as well as electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal energy. Coal, although an available option, does not burn as cleanly as natural gas, and its use may contribute to the formation/pollution associated with acid rain unless costly air pollution controls are applied to coal-burning power plants. Area states have stringent air quality regulations and thresholds for stack emissions, fugitive emissions, and particulate handling that likely preclude coal as a viable option. A large amount of oil consumed in the United States is produced and purchased from overseas sources. Therefore, the use of additional foreign oil supplies to meet future energy demands in the expanding mid-atlantic markets could further increase the reliance on overseas crude petroleum and petroleum products. This could subsequently increase the potential economic and national security risks in the event of an emergency or a supply curtailment. Moreover, if new or expanded refineries were required to process the crude oil, various additional environmental problems could result (e.g., air pollution, visual intrusion, and noise). Much of the region s oil supply is transported by rail, which is statistically not as safe as natural gas transported by pipeline. FINAL 10-5 FERC Section 7(c) Application

11 Although nuclear power is seen by some as a means of reducing GHG emissions in power plants, other stakeholders are concerned with the environmental and regulatory challenges concerning safety and security, the disposal of toxic materials, and alternations to hydrological/biological systems would need to be addressed before any new nuclear power generation facilities could be constructed. As a result, proposals and any subsequent plans to construct new or expand existing plants in the Northeast would likely involve prolonged review periods that would not meet the objectives and timing of the Project. Moreover, nuclear is not an alternative to all of the Project s shippers, which require natural gas for purposes other than power production. For these reasons, nuclear power is not currently a practicable alternative to the Project and was eliminated from further review. LNG is a developing energy alternative in the Northeast. Several LNG facilities are being proposed as a means of addressing some of the energy needs in New England, New Jersey, and New York. However, many of these projects are still in the developmental stages, and the timing for these projects to receive approvals and be constructed does not address the current purpose and need of the Project. An LNG system alternative would not only require the construction of a liquefaction and vaporization facility, but also transportation of the necessary volume of LNG to the delivery point by truck or train using existing road and railways. Given the requirement for the construction of two new facilities as well as the number of truck and train trips that would be required on a continuous basis, the transportation of the required amount of natural gas is not preferable to the proposed Project. Wind, geothermal, and solar power have not yet been developed in the eastern U.S. for large-scale application, partly because the energy sources associated with these forms of power are reliable in only certain parts of the country (such as solar and wind) or generally are not available (geothermal). These forms of energy, which usually are converted to electricity, may not substitute easily for natural gas in equipment and processes designed for using natural gas. In addition, once converted, the electricity must be transported to the consumer, which may require the addition of new power lines. Moreover, land required for wind and solar is considerably greater, and the vast majority required cannot be restored to its prior use in the same way that land used for natural gas pipelines can be restored. Given the pace of development for these resources in the eastern U.S., they will not meet the future demand for energy in the Project timeframe. Moreover, wind, geothermal and solar are not energy alternatives to all of the Project s shippers, which require natural gas for purposes other than power production. Therefore, these particular alternative energy sources do not represent viable options for replacing the natural gas that will be supplied by the Project System Alternatives PennEast investigated a number of system alternatives to the Project which are discussed below Transco Leidy Line Loop PennEast considered a loop of Transco s Leidy Line pipeline system as a system alternative to the proposed Project. A loop of Transco s Leidy Line could access the same production region that the Project accesses. However, the Transco Leidy Line does not offer the same access to specific delivery point locations provided by the Project. PennEast will offer direct delivery to UGI Central Penn Gas, Inc. and UGI Utilities, Inc., both in Pennsylvania, as well as the Gilbert Electric Generating Station and Elizabethtown Gas, both in New Jersey, that cannot be made by utilizing the Transco system. PennEast s proposed route is also uniquely capable of providing an interconnection with both Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC (Algonquin) and Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern) at one location, which will provide supply for growing markets served by each transmission system in the capacity constrained Northeast. FINAL 10-6 FERC Section 7(c) Application

12 Because the Transco Leidy Line cannot make these direct deliveries to UGI Central Penn Gas, Inc., UGI Utilities, Inc., Gilbert Electric Generating Station and Elizabethtown Gas and Transco does not access Algonquin and Texas Eastern at one location, any Transco system alternative does not satisfy the purpose and need of the Project. In addition, if Transco were to loop its Leidy Line pipeline system as an alternative to the Project, there would not be an additional new pipeline in the region to deliver production from the nearby production region to the markets to be served by the Project, providing a further reason why this system alternative does not satisfy the purpose and need of the Project. In addition to the foregoing, a loop of Transco s Leidy Line is not a viable alternative in light of the current circumstances and the environmental impact associated with constructing the facilities. PennEast has performed an analysis of an alternative involving a loop of Transco s Leidy Line. PennEast agrees with Transco s own statement where it indicates that the existing line cannot be expanded: The existing Transco pipeline system is extremely capacity constrained in New Jersey and Southern Pennsylvania, operating in very densely populated areas. Because of encroachment of residential and commercial structures along the Transco system, certain areas would be nearly impossible to loop and would require other greenfield portions to be constructed, further increasing the overall impact of the project. (Transco Atlantic Sunrise FAQ at Encroachment is severe in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which would result in a considerable amount of greenfield construction.

16 Columbia Gas Columbia Gas owns interstate pipeline facilities in portions of eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. However, Columbia Gas lacks the capability to receive gas in the production region in which PennEast s receipt points will be located. In order to access the same production region that the Project will access and to deliver the production at all the same delivery points that PennEast proposes for the Project, Columbia Gas would be required to construct greenfield pipeline facilities nearly identical to the facilities that comprise the Project. Accordingly, Columbia Gas does not provide an alternative to the Project Texas Eastern Texas Eastern owns interstate pipeline facilities in portions of eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. However, Texas Eastern lacks the capability to receive gas in the production region in which PennEast s receipt points will be located. In order to access the same production region that the Project will access and to deliver the production at all the same delivery points that PennEast proposes for the Project, Texas Eastern would be required to construct greenfield pipeline facilities nearly identical to the facilities that comprise the Project. Accordingly, Texas Eastern does not provide an alternative to the Project. Figure shows the existing Columbia Gas and Texas Eastern pipeline systems relative to northeast Pennsylvania natural gas production in the PennEast Project area and illustrates that these existing systems lack the capability to receive and deliver gas in the production region in which PennEast s receipt and delivery points would be located.

18 10.3 Pipeline Key Alternatives and Pipeline Deviations PennEast carefully examined existing utility corridors (natural gas pipelines, liquid pipelines, electric transmission, water, and sewer) to identify potential areas where the proposed pipeline could parallel or be co-located within existing maintained ROWs. This assessment found that some of these ROWs had been encroached upon by residential and commercial development resulting in inadequate space for the staging and construction of an additional pipeline between the existing facilities and the neighboring developments. Where environmental impacts were not greater, PennEast has aligned the Project with as many existing utility corridors as possible, while ensuring a Project that can be safely constructed and operated, and satisfy the Project customers demands. PennEast worked with engineering and design to avoid and/or minimize potential direct impacts to environmental resources. The proposed construction work area has been reduced at wetland crossings to minimize impacts wherever feasible. In addition, ROW agents have worked and continue to work with individual landowners to avoid sensitive features on properties and address their concerns. The following sections address the key alternatives assessment and the more significant adjustments that have occurred Key Alternatives Since the Project was initiated in the spring of 2014, eight key alternative routes have been reviewed and evaluated using a Critical Issues Analysis.

24 Original The originally proposed Project alignment, or the Original, was designed to bring locally produced Marcellus Shale gas from UGI s gathering system in northeastern Pennsylvania, through 29 municipalities, to the proposed Transco Trenton-Woodbury interconnect in Mercer County, New Jersey, allowing PennEast to serve customers in metropolitan East Coast markets. PennEast considered multiple factors when evaluating potential alignments. The Original was aligned to avoid standing structures, densely populated areas and planned development projects thereby minimizing the potential cumulative impacts of the pipeline. The Original had a centerline of miles and crossed 165 streams. 214 acres of wetlands fell within 200 feet of the line, which equated to 11.1% of the total 400-foot corridor being considered a wetland.

27 PennEast also conducted an aerial reconnaissance of the study corridor on May 20, 2014 to identify potential critical issues and risks, including stream and river crossings. The overflight allowed for a clearer understanding of possible engineering and environmental constraints. Following the aerial reconnaissance, site visits were performed at publically accessible, potential road and stream crossings as well as other critical areas along the proposed alignment. Both the aerial and ground reconnaissance highlighted areas of potential concern and allowed for further investigation into solutions, such as reroutes. The areas that were focused on in the reconnaissance included: Private and public roads, railroads, bridges and trail crossings; Road crossings; Waterbody and wetland crossings; Clearing requirements; Land use (including agricultural lands); Socio-economic issues; Commercial and industrial areas; and Infrastructure The findings of the aerial and ground reconnaissance were integrated and used to propose modifications that were incorporated into Alternative 1 to the Original with ETG Spur. Alternative 1 to the Original with ETG spur was preferable to the Original because it would result in fewer impacts to various resources. Specifically, the Alternative 1 reduced the total acreage of State Game Lands (Pennsylvania) within 200 feet of the centerline by 27 acres and also avoided 58 acres of wetlands within 200 feet of the centerline that would have been affected by the Original.

31 Alternative 2 Original with NJ Loop (Initial Preferred ) PennEast conducted further analysis of environmental constraints, resulting in Alternative 2 to Original with NJ Loop (Initial Preferred ). In order to reduce potential environmental impacts related to the ETG Spur, PennEast eliminated the Alternative 1 to Original with ETG Spur. This elimination avoided crossing the Delaware River a second time. Along with exclusion of the ETG Spur, Alternative 2 to Original with NJ Loop shifts the alignment from MP 70 to MP 90 from Bucks County, Pennsylvania to Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Alternative 2 to Original with NJ Loop (Initial Preferred ) is preferable to Alternative 1 to Original with ETG Spur because it traversed less densely populated areas, reducing both temporary and permanent impacts and, at the same time, continued to allow the Project to deliver to all desired interconnections. Further, because of the topography, and based on aerial imagery, it is estimated that Alternative 1to Original with ETG Spur would result in greater impacts to wetlands and waterbodies.

34 Preferred November 2014 Along the Alternative 2 to Original with NJ Loop, reroutes were considered that incorporated co-location opportunities. Along the alignment, the centerline was shifted to co-locate with various utility ROWs, including gas pipeline and electric transmission. Co-location reduces the amount of clearing and environmental impacts and concentrates them into a smaller area. Between MP 10 and MP 20, which is an area through which the pipeline traverses Pennsylvania State Game Lands, the alignment was moved to co-locate with Transco s pipeline ROW. This not only decreased the amount of new permanent ROW required throughout the entire route, but also reduced the cumulative land use impacts of the corridor. Other significant co-location segments fall between MP 20 and MP 40. ROW agents worked with individual landowners to avoid sensitive features on properties, which allowed the November 2014 Preferred to take into account all of these features, as well as cultural resources that were discovered through surveying. Multiple cultural resources, including sites with both historic and prehistoric components were located throughout the proposed route, and appropriate reroutes were implemented. The November 2014 Preferred also includes the addition of the Hellertown 24-inch Lateral. This lateral permits another interconnect into the PennEast pipeline.

40 Preferred Alternative January 2015 Following PennEast s filing of its initial draft Resource Reports 1 and 10 with FERC in November 2014, PennEast considered a number of additional alternatives based on input from local, county and township officials. PennEast also took into account numerous comments and concerns from individual landowners and members of the general public that were raised during Open Houses that were held by PennEast in November PennEast also made necessary adjustments to the route to account for engineering, environmental, and land use constraints that were identified during the environmental survey process. Most significantly, in New Jersey, the route was shifted for approximately 21 miles, from approximately MP 90 to the southern Project terminus near Pennington, Mercer County, New Jersey (MP 110). This new route followed existing powerline ROWs in an effort to maximize co-location opportunities. With the new route in New Jersey, the overall Project route increased in co-location from approximately 29% to 45%. The reroute in New Jersey necessitated a 1.3-mile, 36-inch lateral near Lambertville, New Jersey to transport gas to interconnections with Algonquin and Texas Eastern. In Pennsylvania, the route was shifted for approximately 2.5 miles to the north side of State 33 near Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to accommodate future expansion plans of the St. Luke s Hospital complex.

43 Preferred March 2015 Following feedback from FERC s scoping meetings held in February 2015 and numerous conversations with landowners, state and local agencies, and other various stakeholders, PennEast revised and refined various portions of the preferred alternative route in March The most significant variations to the route were related to the location of the crossing of the Bethlehem Authority water supply mainline (MP 44 and MP 45), Appalachian Trail crossing (between MP 46 and MP 55), and accommodating future subdivision and housing development plans. Additional field data gained during environmental surveys helped make smaller adjustments related to environmental constraints and individual discussions with landowners. With the new route alignment, an additional interconnect was needed for the Gilbert Power Generation facility in Holland Township, New Jersey, which is fed by a small lateral (12 inches in diameter) to supply natural gas to the facility.

46 Proposed During the period following PennEast s filing of draft Resource Reports in April 2015, PennEast has continued to evaluate potential alternatives to the proposed pipeline alignment based on comments received during the formal Scoping process, ongoing dialogue with federal, state, regional and local agencies, landowners, and the results of field surveys and engineering analyses. As the Project design became finalized, there was a significant effort to adjust the alignment within the 400 foot survey corridor to avoid and/or minimize impacts to wetlands and waterbodies, cultural resources, preserved agricultural lands and sensitive habitats. In Pennsylvania, two major reroutes and more than 40 minor reroutes have been evaluated. The major reroutes include an alternative route for crossing the Appalachian Trail and Pennsylvania State Game Land No. 168 in Carbon and Northampton Counties, Pennsylvania and a realignment to avoid active quarrying operations near Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The reroute associated with the Appalachian Trail includes a new delivery interconnection with UGI Central Penn Gas, Inc. This new delivery point is shown as the Blue Mountain Interconnect in Resource Report 1 and corresponding mapping. These new alternatives and reroutes have gone through the same detailed assessment as those assessed in the April 2015 filing. Table provides a Critical Issues Analysis for PennEast s Proposed.

65 Pipeline Deviations A range of deviations to the proposed route have been examined to date and were developed as survey access and additional engineering and environmental information became available. Table presents a summary of the major route adjustments that were adopted during PennEast s alternatives analysis and are contributing components to the Key Alternatives described in Section above. Table presents a summary of the minor adjustments to the proposed route that were adopted or considered and the justification for either implementing the adjustment or not implementing the adjustment. Appendix P includes details on the alternative assessment for the Proposed, Alternatives Rejected (the adjustments requested, evaluated and rejected) and Prior Alternatives (the segments of the prior alternatives that were superseded by the adjustment adopted into the Proposed ). Although there are several iterations of alternatives and deviations that have been considered, PennEast has endeavored to reformat for continuity of the naming convention in Appendix P.

102 New Compression As the Project has evolved, the need for compression has changed. Initially, PennEast considered a 30-inch pipeline with three compressor stations. With changes in location and pipeline coating, PennEast reduced the design to two compressor stations. The compressor options that PennEast initially evaluated with a 30-inch pipeline included the following: Compressor Station Option 1 o Available (ISO) = 26,733 HP o (3) Taurus 70s Compressor Station Option 2 o Available (ISO) = 7,224 HP o (2) Centaur 40s Following this analysis, as a result of the increased demand for natural gas transportation service resulting from the Open Season and the corresponding increase in the diameter of the pipeline from 30-inches to 36-inches, the requirements for compression changed and two compressor stations were no longer necessary. By installing a 36-inch mainline, only one compressor station is required to transport the gas from the major receipt interconnections Transco and gathering systems operated by Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. and UGI Energy Services, LLC, all in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, to the major delivery interconnections, including the following: UGI Central Penn Gas, Inc. in Carbon County, Pennsylvania; UGI Utilities, Inc. and Columbia Gas, in Northampton County, Pennsylvania; Elizabethtown Gas, Texas Eastern, Algonquin, and the Gilbert electric generation facility, all in Hunterdon County, New Jersey; and Transco, in Mercer County, New Jersey. PennEast evaluated two locations in Kidder Township, Carbon County, Pennsylvania for the proposed compressor station, and has identified a preferred location at approximate milepost The compressor station will include three gas turbine-driven Solar Mars 100 units rated at 15,900 hp each under ISO conditions (47,700 total ISO hp). The proposed site has been environmentally surveyed and there are no cultural or historic resources that would constrain use of the approximately 60-acre site. The latitude/longitude location coordinates for the proposed compressor station site are listed in Table (Resource Report 1). A complete alternatives analysis for the compressor station, including a map and an environmental and engineering comparison showing the two alternative compressor station sites considered can be found below. Kidder Compressor Station is the proposed location for the compressor station. Compressor Station Option 1 was an alternative site considered and not implemented. An alternate using electric compressors was evaluated (see Appendix L) but was eliminated from detailed consideration due to the greater impacts to air quality associated with generation of electricity as well as the need for backup generation should there be a power outage.
