clean, low cost natural gas supplies to premium East Coast markets and provide substantial benefits for both natural gas producers and consumers. We are equally excited to be joining such strong joint venture partners as Williams Part-ners and Cabot Oil and Gas, as both are outstanding com-panies and widely respected in our industry." An affiliate of Williams Partners will construct, operate, and maintain the new 30-inch, 121-mile long transmission pipeline that is being designed with sufficient capacity to transport 650,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day (a quantity of natural gas that can serve approximately 3 mil-lion homes) from established Marcellus production areas in Susquehanna County of northern Pennsylvania. The pipeline will connect with the Iroquois Gas Transmis-sion and Tennessee Gas Pipeline systems in Schoharie County, New York and is already fully contracted with long-term commitments from established natural gas pro-ducers currently operating in Pennsylvania; Piedmont will not be a customer of Constitution Pipeline. Williams Partners will maintain a 51 percent ownership share, Cabot Oil and Gas a 25 percent share, and Piedmont Natural Gas, through its wholly owned subsidiary, a 24 percent share in the pipeline venture. "Williams Partners enjoys a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship with Piedmont as a customer on our Transco pipeline system and as a joint venture partner in existing pipeline and storage infrastructure projects in North Caro-lina. We are delighted to expand that relationship with Piedmont as a new partner in the Constitution Pipeline," said Alan Armstrong, chief executive officer of Williams Partners. "Constitution is a key component of the Susquehanna Sup-ply Hub that Williams Partners is expanding to connect Marcellus Shale producers like Cabot and Southwestern Energy with the highest-value markets. "The Constitution Pipeline is a great example of the kind of leadership and investment –from energy-infrastructure providers like Williams Partners, utilities like Piedmont and producers like Cabot – that we believe is key to build-ing the foundation our nation needs to realize the full benefits of the new abundance of long-lived, clean-burning natural gas supplies in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale and elsewhere in North America." The Constitution Pipeline project was first announced in February 2012 by Williams Partners and Cabot Oil and Gas. Construction of the new pipeline is expected to begin in April 2014 with an in-service date of March 2015. Con-stitution Pipeline is currently in the pre-filing process with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency charged with the regulation of interstate pipelines. Constitution Pipeline plans to file a formal cer-tificate application with the FERC in the spring of 2013.

More information about the Constitution Pipeline project can be found at www.constitutionpipeline.com. INDUSTRY NEWS (Middlebury, VT) – Vermont Gas Sys-tems next month will ask the state utility regulator, the Public Service Board, to review plans for its proposed pipeline ex-pansion into Middlebury and Vergennes. In the meantime it will begin contacting the owners of around 200 parcels through which the new conduit would travel. Vermont Gas officials gave these and other project details to a crowd of more than 60 people who gathered recently at the Middlebury Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7823 to hear about how the estimated $70 million, 42-mile pipeline project might affect their heating bills, insurance rates, property values and safety. Using maps, charts and graphics, Vermont Gas spokesman Stephen Wark told the crowd that the proposed pipeline would all be placed underground in an environmentally sensi-tive manner in order to bring what he said are abundant Cana-dian natural gas reserves to the most densely occupied resi-dential and business sectors of Middlebury and Vergennes.
The company estimates that the project, if permitted and built out as planned will be in by 2015. But a lot of work will need to be done before the pipeline pro-ject can go forward, Wark stressed. “It will be an expensive and rigorous construction process,” he said. “We want to be good neighbors as we do this,” he added. “There is no place for shortcuts.” In serious planning for the past two years, the Addison Natural Gas Project will involve: Thoughts of the Day: “I hate turkeys.
