Dear Ms. Mann,
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.0 ("Tennessee"), a Kinder Morgan Company, has sought to meet
the increasing and changing needs for clean, reliable, and cost effective natural gas supply for the
northeastern United States for more than fifty years. As the demand for energy has increased in the
United States, so has the demand for natural gas. Recent development activity is increasing the nation's
ability to rely more on clean-burning natural gas supplies and less on coal and oil.
In response to the increasing demand for natural gas and related transmission services into the northeast.
Tennessee is proposing the Northeast Expansion Project to upgrade its existing pipeline system within
New York, Massachusetts. Connecticut and New Hampshire. As configured, the proposed project will
result in the construction of approximately 250 miles of new pipeline. Tennessee anticipates that it will
be able to locate a significant portion of the pipeline adjacent, or generally parallel, to existing pipeline
and electric utility corridors. Pending receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, the proposed project
is estimated to be placed in-service by November 2018. 1 have included a preliminary project overview
and map for your reference.
Tennessee plans to explore this effort with interested stakeholders, including landowners, elected
officials, and local governments and their residents, as well as the appropriate state and federal regulatory
agencies. Tennessee will begin to contact landowners along the proposed project route in the coming
weeks.
Please feel free to contact me if 1 can be of any assistance or provide additional information.
We look forward to working with you. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Allen Fore

Northeast Expansion Project
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
•
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company,
LI r. ( -Tennessee"), a subsidiary of
Kinder Morgan, Inc., proposes the
Northeast Expansion Project to
upgrade its existing Tennessee Gas
Pipeline system within New York,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire and
Connecticut.
•
The project, as currently configured,
would result in the construction of
approximately 250 miles of new
pipeline, additional meter stations and
modifications to existing facilities.
•
•
Tennessee anticipates that it will be
able to locate a significant portion of
the pipeline adjacent, or generally
parallel to, existing pipeline and
electric utility corridors
Northeast Expansion Project is
projected to create over 3,000 jobs
during the peak construction period.
•
This expansion project is developed
to meet increased demand in the
U.S. Northeast for transportation
capacity for natural gas - a clean,
environmentally friendly energy
source produced domestically.
Pending receipt of all necessary
regulatory approvals, the proposed
project is estimated to be placed inservice by November 2018, so the
additional gas supplies are available
for the winter heating season.
