Challenges in Transmission

2 Environmental and Public Affairs Consulting for the Energy Industry Energy Sectors  Oil & Gas  Pipeline  Storage  LNG  Electric Transmission  Construction, Operation & Maintenance  Existing Oil & Gas Pipeline  Construction Compliance  Facility Compliance  Air Quality Monitoring

3 A Few of Our Clients

4  Feasibility Studies and Routing  GIS & Data Management  Permitting & Field Surveys  Public Affairs  Construction and Operational Compliance Client Services

5 Federal Agency Work  Primarily 3rd Party NEPA Reviews  Federal Energy Regulatory Commission  US Forest Service  Bureau of Land Management  California State Lands Commission

6  Zephyr Transmission Line Project o (500kV HVDC – Duke Energy, American Transmission Co.)  Skiffes Creek Transmission Line Project o (500/230kV – Dominion Virginia Power)  Blue Grass Pipeline Project o (1,100-mile liquids pipeline - Williams and Boardwalk Pipeline Partners) Some Recent or Current Projects

7 Barriers for Projects Requiring Federal Authorizations  Identification of NEPA lead (if needed)  Application may be needed to begin consultation  Interagency coordination during consultation  Long and uncertain regulatory schedule  Lower predictability  Higher project risk for meeting commercial targets  Higher project cost Siting and Permitting Large Interstate Projects

8  Coordinates Pre-Application Activities – proponent and agencies, tribes, and non-federal entities  Requires federal agencies to participate in pre- application consultations  Focuses on project siting (study corridors, routing) and public outreach process  Forces proponent to do its project planning  Identifies the NEPA lead agency  Sets the stage for faster NEPA review and greater project predictability DOE Integrated Inter-Agency Pre-Application (IIP) Process

9  Committing the agencies to a defined NEPA review schedule  Initiating NEPA review earlier FERC’s typical major pipeline EIS schedule months  Includes FERC’s pre-application process  Proponent planning and pre-application process overlaps NEPA review What IIP Does Not Address
