Florida Gas Transmission Mainline Hydrostatic Test From the intersection of Milam Dairy Road with NW 65th Street to the intersection of Galloway Road with North Kendall Drive Miami-Dade County

Today’s Outline Who is Florida Gas Transmission (FGT)? Why is FGT testing? What is the test exactly? When will the test occur? Where will the test take place? How will the test be conducted? How will the test affect me?

Florida Gas Transmission Company Natural gas transmission company operating a 5,000 mile pipeline system along the Gulf Provide all of the natural gas for power generation in Miami-Dade County 18-inch diameter Mainline in South Florida Customers include: Electric utility companies Local distributors Industrial clients

Need for the Test The U.S. Department of Transportation regulates all interstate pipelines Testing is federally mandated Best practice to confirm the safety and reliability of the pipeline Safety is our #1 priority Ensure continued superb customer service

Nature of the Test Hydrostatic Test Remove the natural gas from the line Controlled release vents harmlessly into atmosphere Service is maintain on another system Test the integrity of the pipeline by filling the line with water Put the water under pressure for a fixed period of time

Background Hydrotesting the 18-inch pipeline system Standard, common pipeline test procedure Recent, successful pipeline tests were completed in: Began Miami-Dade testing February 2011 Hillsborough Broward Martin Pinellas Palm Beach Miami-Dade Polk St. Lucie

Prepare System for Testing Project Process Begin Project Obtain Permits Prepare System for Testing Conduct Hydrotest End Project Public Awareness Campaign

Project Schedule Test window is set: Tuesday, 15 November 2017 TASK DATE Community Awareness May – December Permit Applications May – October System Preparation August – September Test Preparation September – October Conduct Hydrotest 15 November 2017 Test window is set: Tuesday, 15 November 2017 Early morning, midnight – 4:00 a.m. Coordinated with FP&L and regulators

Project Location Total Project Length = 11.2 miles Begin: NW 65th Street End: SW 88th Street (N Kendall Dr / SR 94) Generally follows 3 roadway alignments: Milam Dairy Road (NW 72nd Ave / SR 969) West Flagler Street (SR 968) Galloway Road (SW 87th Ave / SR 973) Unincorporated Miami-Dade County

Project Location (con’t) Project Limit Project Limit

How the Test is Performed Remove natural gas from 18-inch Mainline Completed the week before the hydrotest Fill the line with water Pressurize the system Normal operating pressure is 722 PSI Test pressure is up to 1,444 PSI Relatively short duration (approx. 30 minutes) Reduce pressure to 1,100 PSI Conduct 8-hour strength test

How the Test is Performed (con’t) De-pressurize the line Drain the water from the system If any integrity issues are found: They are corrected as soon as possible The hydrotest is performed again Any re-testing must be performed within the prescribed test window timeframe Resume normal natural gas service

Safety During the Test Safety is our #1 priority Performed extensive test preparations, including an inspection of the entire system Any pipe anomalies will be repaired in advance of conducting the hydrotest For the duration of the high pressure test, as a safety consideration, we plan to isolate the pipeline route from people and traffic

Conducting the Test Advance Preparations Make all key stakeholders aware Adjacent property owners Emergency service providers General driving public Announcements Flyers, newspaper, FL511, website, etc. Dynamic message signs 2 weeks in advance

Conducting the Test (Con’t) Night of the Test Begin at midnight Close cross streets with barricades Law enforcement support Confirm all-clear for 11.2-mile corridor Conduct hydrotest Reopen roadways at approximately 4:00 a.m.
