Abut the Prject AGL Resurces; NJR Pipeline Cmpany; PSEG Pwer; Suth Jersey Industries; and UGI Energy Services (UGIES) cmprise Cmpany, LLC. Apprximately 100-mile, 30-inch pipeline frm PA t NJ Nearly $1 billin investment Delaware Twnship (apprximately six miles) $5.2 millin in prperty taxes in five years Deliver up t 1 Bcf f gas per day Enugh gas t serve mre than 4.7 millin hmes Will create apprximately 2,000 jbs during cnstructin The prpsed prject will bring lw-cst natural gas t custmers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. 2
Need fr New Infrastructure Lcally prduced, abundant supply f affrdable natural gas t serve New Jersey and Pennsylvania Infrastructure has nt kept pace with increased demand fr natural gas fr hme heating, industrial uses and electricity generatin Significant majrity f pipeline capacity will be used by lcal distributin cmpanies (LDCs) and pwer generatrs, nt exprted verseas New Jersey Energy Master Plan supprts the use f natural gas State s ecnmy benefits frm infrastructure investments U.S. manufacturers are leveraging affrdable natural gas t regain glbal cmpetitiveness and reduce perating csts New Jersey hmes and businesses increasingly are turning t natural gas fr their energy needs. 3
Prpsed Rute Frm Luzerne Cunty in nrtheastern Pennsylvania t the Transc Trentn-Wdbury intercnnectin in New Jersey Fur delivery pints in New Jersey Meet r exceed state and federal safety standards Minimize impact t the envirnment and cmmunities, which includes aviding densely ppulated areas 4
Federal Energy Regulatry Cmmissin (FERC) Interstate natural gas pipelines are apprved and regulated by FERC Pre-filing Prcess Gives landwners, fficials and thers time t review a prject befre a Certificate Applicatin is filed Open Huses Hsted by PennEast t prvide pprtunity fr landwners and thers t talk ne-n-ne with prject experts, ask questins and vice supprt r cncern Public Scping Meetings Hsted by FERC t prvide cmmunity additinal pprtunity fr input Certificate Applicatin Filing The frmal prject applicatin with FERC Permit applicatins fr ther federal, state and lcal agencies Envirnmental Impact Statement (EIS) FERC will engage a third-party cntractr fr this in-depth envirnmental analysis FERC Resurce: An Interstate Natural Gas Facility n My Land?

Prject Timeline Prperty wners cntacted FERC Pre-filing applicatin submitted (Octber) Open Huses Frmal applicatin fr PennEast Pipeline filed with FERC (July) FERC issues final decisin (December) Pending apprvals, cnstructin begins and is cmpleted, prviding lcal, affrdable natural gas t area custmers 2014 2015 2016 2017 6
First Steps Prcess Early stages f a multi-step, intensive prcess Rutes PennEast first evaluates several different pipeline rutes Surveys Cnducted t determine which rute will be least impactful t the envirnment and the lcal cmmunities and best suited fr cnstructin Land Agents Will talk with landwners abut accessing and surveying prperty if it is alng the prpsed pipeline rute Right-f-Way (ROW) Agreements If a prperty is selected fr the final rute, PennEast will ask the landwner t enter int a ROW agreement, which grants permissin fr PennEast t cnstruct the pipeline n a specified prtin f the prperty 7
Cnstructin and Restratin Cnstructin will begin nly after btaining FERC apprval Site preparatin typically cannt take place during critical migratry and breeding seasns and als can be affected by weather and material availability Field crews will stay within the agreed-upn ROW Cnstructin expected t last apprximately seven mnths Land can be used as it was prir t cnstructin, including farming activities, with the exceptin f building permanent structures r planting trees atp the ROW Wrk with landwners n site restratin plans ROW will be re-graded, seeded and temprary ersin cntrl devices installed Tpsil is remved, preserved and restred t the riginal grade 8
Pipeline Safety Less than.01 percent f all transprtatin accidents in the United States are related t natural gas pipelines, accrding t the Natinal Transprtatin Safety Bard (NTSB) Fr the last 20 years, third-party damage remains the primary cause f serius incidents invlving natural gas pipelines, accrding t the American Gas Assciatin: Cmmn Grund Alliance (CGA) seeks t imprve safety and reduce damages t undergrund infrastructure Rughly a 40 percent reductin in excavatin damages since its 2004 inceptin Primarily as a result f significant effrts by pipeline cmpanies t wrk with regulatrs, excavatrs and members f the public 9
Pipeline Safety There are many required measures fr safe pipeline peratins, but PennEast s cmmitment t safety will be demnstrated frm the start f the Prject thrughut peratin f the Pipeline: Adpting design features and perating practices that meet r exceed stringent regulatry and industry standards Use f thicker pipe than required The latest technlgy in crrsin cntrl, including a fusin-bnded epxy that prvides increased durability Placement f shutff valves a minimum f every 10 miles Use f X-ray during cnstructin t ensure jints are welded prperly Cnducting an integrity test f the entire line prir t placing it int service Mnitring gas pressures alng the pipeline 24/7 in real-time Cnducting annual leak surveys and walking surveys f the entire line 10
