1 NEXUS GAS TRANSMISSION, LLC 5400 Westheimer Ct. Houston, TX Ms. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First, N.E. Washington, D.C December 30, 2014 Re: Request for Approval to Use the Pre-Filing Process NEXUS Gas Transmission, LLC NEXUS Gas Transmission Project Docket No. PF Dear Ms. Bose: Pursuant to Section (b) of the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ( FERC or Commission ), 1 NEXUS Gas Transmission, LLC ( NEXUS or Applicant ) hereby requests that the Commission initiate a National Environmental Policy Act ( NEPA ) environmental review under the Commission s Pre-Filing Process for a proposed greenfield natural gas pipeline and related facilities, herein referred to as the NEXUS Gas Transmission Project or Project. The NEXUS Gas Transmission Project is designed to deliver incremental production from the Utica Shale and Marcellus Shale plays to growing demand for natural gas by gas distribution and end use markets in the Upper Midwest and Canada. The scheduled in-service date of the Project is November 1, Representatives of NEXUS met with Commission Staff on December 17, 2014 to discuss the Project and NEXUS s use of the Pre-Filing Process. NEXUS plans to file a certificate application with the Commission for authorization of the Project under Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act ( NGA ) following completion of the Pre-Filing Process. Project Overview DTE Energy Company and Spectra Energy Partners, LP are lead developers of the proposed Project, a project designed to transport growing supplies of Appalachian Basin gas to customers in the U.S. Midwest and Ontario. The Project will create, through the use of greenfield pipeline and capacity on existing systems, a new path to deliver gas from the prolific Marcellus and Utica shale plays to markets in the Upper Midwest and Ontario, Canada, specifically delivering gas into existing infrastructure in Michigan and in Ontario. NEXUS held an open season for the Project from October 15, 2012 to November 30, 2012 and a supplemental open season from July 23, 2014 to August 21, NEXUS has signed precedent agreements for the majority of the capacity to be created by the Project C.F.R (b) (2014).

2 Ms. Kimberly D. Bose Page 2 Placing the Project facilities in service by the scheduled in-service date of November 1, 2017 is required to meet the firm transportation service requirements of the Project shippers. As proposed, the Project includes both new pipeline construction ( Greenfield construction, as described more fully in Section 3, below) and, to minimize environmental disruption and optimize project efficiencies, contracting for existing and expanded capacity on existing pipeline systems. The Greenfield pipeline will create a new pipeline system necessary to transport 1.5 billion cubic feet ( bcf ) of natural gas per day. It will be constructed, owned and operated by NEXUS and will extend from Kensington, Ohio to the DTE Gas transportation system west of Detroit, Michigan. The Project will also comprise contracted firm capacity existing on, and created by the expansion of, (1) the Texas Eastern Transmission, LP ( Texas Eastern ) system in Ohio and Pennsylvania to allow shippers to access gas supplies south of the Kensington, Ohio point where the NEXUS Greenfield system commences, (2) the DTE Gas Transportation ( DTE ) system in eastern Michigan and extending to the U.S. / Canada border, and (3) the Vector Pipeline ( Vector ) system in southern and eastern Michigan, northern Indiana, and eastern Illinois, and then across the U.S./Canada border into western Ontario. In this way, the Project will provide a connection between Appalachian shale gas supplies and markets in the US Midwest, including Ohio, Michigan, Chicago, and Dawn Ontario in Canada. Please see Attachment 1 for a Project Overview map of the route depicting the Project location. NEXUS understands that Texas Eastern will be separately submitting a Pre-Filing request for its expansion project in the near future, and ultimately will file its own certificate application with the Commission for approval of its expansion project. NEXUS further understands that Vector, if required, will be separately submitting a Pre-Filing request for its expansion project in the near future, and ultimately will file its own certificate application with the Commission for approval of its expansion project. The DTE expansion project will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Michigan Public Service Commission, as DTE is a state-regulated gas utility, and the service that DTE will provide to NEXUS by contractual arrangement will be pursuant to DTE s limited authority to provide service in interstate commerce. While each project would have separate applications, NEXUS understands that the Commission may prepare a single environmental impact statement to review the environmental impacts associated with all of the projects. As demonstrated herein, NEXUS has engaged in extensive efforts in anticipation of filing its certificate application to meet the Project s timeline and the November 1, 2017 in-service date. To further support the request, NEXUS submits the following in compliance with Section (d) of FERC s regulations and FERC Staff s guidance for initiating pre-filing review. 1. A description of the schedule desired for the project including the expected application filing date and the desired date for Commission approval. To meet the target in-service date for the Project of November 1, 2017, NEXUS requests that the Director of the Office of Energy Projects issue a notice approving use of the Pre-Filing Process by January 9, 2015.

3 Ms. Kimberly D. Bose Page 3 NEXUS intends to submit an initial draft of Environmental Resource Report No. 1 and a draft alternatives analysis within 30 days after issuance of the Pre-Filing docket number, a first draft of all Environmental Resource Reports by June 2015 and, if required, a second draft by September NEXUS commits to working with FERC Staff to provide Environmental Resource Reports earlier than June 2015, if possible, with all environmental reports to be provided by June Filing of the certificate application is anticipated in November NEXUS is committed to addressing environmental and landowner concerns throughout the Pre- Filing Process and requests issuance of a certificate order by November Meeting this timeline will allow for receipt of any remaining applicable permits and authorizations necessary for NEXUS to begin pre-construction activities, including the orderly mobilization of contractors and materials and the resolution of any outstanding landowner issues, and allow for commencement of construction in the first quarter of Timely commencement of these activities is critical to meet the Project s in-service date of November 1, 2017, which, as noted earlier, is needed to meet the firm transportation service requirements of the Project shippers. 2. Explain why the project applicant is requesting to use the pre-filing process. NEXUS is seeking authorization to use the Pre-Filing Process to provide the necessary environmental information to FERC Staff for review at the earliest practicable time to expedite the processing of its certificate application. In addition, use of the Pre-Filing Process will provide interested stakeholders with an opportunity to review and comment on environmental issues at the beginning of the environmental review process, facilitate timely resolution of any issues and develop a complete record. To meet the requirements of NEPA within the proposed timeline, NEXUS recognizes the need for close coordination among all interested federal, state, and local agencies, elected officials and other stakeholders. Early review of the environmental documentation required to comply with the NEPA Process and implementation of the Public and Agency Participation Plan prepared by NEXUS will facilitate the development of a complete public record, support the conclusion that the Project is in the public interest and allow the Project to receive all approvals necessary to implement the requested service by November 1, Use of the Pre-Filing Process will benefit NEXUS, interested federal, state, and local agencies, elected officials and other stakeholders by: Assisting in the development of initial information about the Project and identifying affected parties; Facilitating issue identification and resolution; Providing a process that accommodates site visits, meetings with federal, state, and local agencies, elected officials and other stakeholders, participation in public information meetings (e.g., open houses), and the examination of alternatives; Providing interested federal, state, and local agencies, elected officials and other stakeholders with access to draft Environmental Resource Reports and other Project-

18 NEXUS Project Public and Agency Participation Plan 1. Plan Purpose The purpose of this Public and Agency Participation Plan is to identify stakeholders and potential issues related to the proposed NEXUS Gas Transmission Project (NEXUS Project or Project) early in the development process; determine appropriate and effective methods of communication with stakeholders; identify responsible parties and adhere to communication protocols, and document the public consultation process. NEXUS Gas Transmission, LLC (NEXUS) is dedicated to seeking greater involvement from affected stakeholder groups early in the planning process so those who are interested may participate in the decision making process throughout development of the Project. Our goal is to achieve consensus and agreements among the stakeholders reaching mutually acceptable project designs. We believe early and collaborative stakeholder involvement leads to project designs that minimize impacts to landowners, communities and the environment while enabling us to develop more comprehensive and complete applications submitted to regulatory agencies and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Project Description The NEXUS Project will create, through the use of greenfield pipeline and capacity on existing systems, a new path to deliver gas from the prolific Marcellus and Utica shale plays to markets in the upper Midwest and Ontario, Canada, specifically delivering gas into existing infrastructure in Michigan and in Ontario. The NEXUS Project will create a new pipeline system and additional firm pipeline capacity necessary to transport 1.5 billion cubic feet ( bcf ) of natural gas per day. The NEXUS Project will provide the U.S. Midwest and eastern Canadian regions with a unique opportunity to secure a cost effective, domestically produced source of energy to support both current demand and future growth, for clean burning natural gas. It will allow abundant regional natural gas supplies from the Appalachian basin to flow reliably into Ohio, Michigan, Chicago and the Dawn Ontario markets, helping to meet the increasing demand while lowering energy costs. The NEXUS Project's proposed facilities consist of construction of approximately 250 miles of up to 42-inch diameter natural gas pipeline; installation of up to four new compressor units; construction of four new meter stations; and installation of new launcher and receiver facilities. 1

20 Project Development Stakeholder Outreach NEXUS Project Public and Agency Participation Plan During project development, stakeholder consultation is critical because many people along the proposed and existing pipeline route may not be familiar with natural gas pipelines or our company. The key criteria inherent in implementing a successful stakeholder consultation plan are the ability and knowledge to explain a project s benefits and its potential impacts; to respond to questions, concerns and issues; and, whenever possible, to mitigate potential impacts. In order to sustain a successful program, we seek, involve, inform and respond to stakeholders by implementing the planning process early, with open and collaborative activities. We execute our plans by engaging in and sustaining understandable, accurate and timely dialogue with our stakeholders. This process guides us toward building and maintaining winwin relationships. The NEXUS Project has evolved as market demands and our customers needs change and will require Federal, state, and local regulatory reviews and will be subject to government approvals. Our mission is to work with Project stakeholders to define an acceptable project design. Our vision is to involve affected landowners, other interested citizens, public officials and government agencies early in the Project planning process to determine the proposed route. It is imperative to us that our employees and Project team understand the importance of public participation. The underpinnings of this plan are to inform, listen to, and record stakeholders ideas and knowledge of the area and environment. Our values and principles include a commitment to being honest and open and following through with stakeholders concerns and issues. We manage all projects and operations in a manner that protects the environment and the health and safety of employees, customers, contractors and the public. Protection of human life is of highest priority, and actions undertaken to protect the environment or our assets must reflect this philosophy. We rely on each employee and contractor to support and actively participate in our environmental, health and safety program. 2. Project Development The NEXUS Project team has been discussing the purpose and need for the Project with landowners, agencies, public officials and other stakeholders. We explain supply and demand, energy reliability, pipeline construction, operations and safety, and the need for the Project during opportunities such as voluntary landowner informational meetings, public open houses and other meetings that include all stakeholders (e.g., county commission meetings, home owner association meetings, etc.). In identifying issues important to landowners and other stakeholders, we seek assistance from federal and state agencies, commissions, the Energy 3

22 NEXUS Project Public and Agency Participation Plan 2.3. Route/Corridor Planning The proposed pipeline route/corridor is selected based upon engineering, construction, environmental and stakeholder considerations that include: Maximizing use of existing corridors Utilizing streets, industrial/commercial parking lots, edges of properties Minimizing residential and business impacts Minimizing interference with future development Minimizing disruptions during construction Avoiding environmental impacts where possible Minimizing unavoidable environmental impacts The pipeline facilities will be installed is in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation classifications and regulations Map A Project Overview Map is included in Appendix A. 3. Public Participation We believe public participation strengthens our connection with people living and working near the pipeline and is critical to the successful completion of the Project. During the early development stages of the Project we involve many landowners located within an initial 600-foot-wide study corridor comprising the preliminary and alternate routes. We landowners Project description letters and request survey permission; telephone landowners and follow up with face-to-face meetings. We hold voluntary landowner informational meetings; host public open houses and meetings with community and civic organizations; and will participate in FERC s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Scoping Meetings. We also contact and meet with local and state public officials. During these meetings, we respond to stakeholders questions and for those questions that require research, we commit to responding in a timely fashion. We are taking care to respond in easy to understand terms and to provide stakeholders with comprehensive answers to their questions. We provide a toll free number and invite stakeholders to call at any time throughout the development process if new questions arise. We also invite them to visit both the Spectra Energy and NEXUS Project websites for the duration of the Project: NEXUS Project website: 5

23 NEXUS Project Public and Agency Participation Plan Spectra Energy website: US/NEXUS-Gas-Transmission 3.1. Public Outreach NEXUS will be implementing and coordinating public outreach activities during the FERC Pre-Filing Process as well as following the filing of the Certificate application. There are a number of separate components to our stakeholder outreach efforts, including the following: Developing our philosophy of outreach and stating our commitment Ensuring landowner, government and agency participation Training company representatives and land agents Providing a toll free number and website for easy access Developing and implementing a Public and Agency Participation Plan Collecting data and responding to stakeholders Having a plan for potential mitigation and compensation Identification of Issues Landowner Throughout the development, construction and operation of the NEXUS Project, we emphasize the importance of landowner and community communications. We sent letters to landowners providing them with information on the Project and requesting permission to survey. We will also send letters to stakeholders informing them of the FERC Pre-Filing Process, including the assigned Project docket number, FERC Scoping Meetings and information on the Resource Reports, as well as the locations of libraries where the Resource Reports will be made available for viewing. This communication with affected stakeholders will continue once we submit our certificate application to FERC. Further, we held 9 voluntary Landowner Informational Meetings in October and November 2014 in communities with proposed facilities. To announce the Landowner Informational Meetings, we ed letters to landowners and public officials. Additionally, the Project has received coverage from local media outlets interested in the scope, schedule, permitting, potential stakeholder impacts and opportunities for engagement. Sample letters are included in Appendix G. 6

24 NEXUS Project Public and Agency Participation Plan See Appendix H for a list of voluntary landowner informational meetings. We will continue to provide updates to the meeting information as necessary. Environmental Pipeline projects and its operations typically involve working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, state departments of environmental protection, state departments of natural resources and the State Historic Preservation Offices. Knowing that developing the NEXUS Project may result in impacts to resources, we engaged these and other federal, state and regional agencies seeking guidance on specific issues early in the development process. Appendix C provides a list of Federal, state, and local agencies contacted on the NEXUS project to date Resolution of Issues To date, stakeholder meetings and communications, which were designed to inform, communicate and listen to feedback, have resulted in several modifications to the proposed route. Resolutions of issues are documented in our database and updated on an ongoing basis Response to Comments Project Team representatives are documenting all comments and responding as appropriate Communication Protocol Pre-Filing and post-certificate application activities are part of a coordinated plan involving many facets of the Project and team. Stakeholder communication is coordinated on a weekly basis, or more frequently, as needed Access to Land Initial notifications to affected landowners were ed in August 2014, and were followed by subsequent letters requesting survey permission. Sample letters are included in Appendix G Land Agent Contacts Contacts have been made with more than 2,700 landowners living along the 600-foot wide study corridor of the preliminary route. This number is expected to be greatly reduced through the survey and route selection process. 7

Dissemination of Information 4.1. Website Development A targeted Project page on the Spectra Energy website was launched in June 2013, and a standalone website for the NEXUS Project was launched in July The websites provide visitors with a toll free telephone number to obtain information and/or ask questions about the Project. This website was designed to be more interactive and to provide easy to understand and frequent updates. Appendix F provides a sample of the NEXUS Project pages. 8

26 NEXUS Project Public and Agency Participation Plan Accessibility The NEXUS Project websites provide stakeholders with information about the company, as well as facts about the Project, regulatory process, virtues of natural gas, pipeline operations, safety and maintenance, and Frequently Asked Questions. A toll free telephone contact number was established to assist stakeholders with their questions and comments. In addition, we ensure information is disseminated, as requested by stakeholders, since not all stakeholders have access to the Internet Maintenance The webmaster maintains the website and manages web-based stakeholder inquiries Interactive Capabilities The website houses a "Contact Us" section, which includes a web/e form. This allows stakeholders to request information about the Project, and we will respond within three (3) business days Federal, State and Local Agency Communications Consultation letters were ed to the identified federal, state and local permitting agencies with jurisdiction over the Project. We maintain contact with the permitting agencies and respond to all requests for information we receive from them. See Appendix C for a list of agencies and Appendix G for sample letters Stakeholder Notification of FERC Pre-Filing Participation All stakeholders will be notified by letter in the event that FERC approves the NEXUS Project to participate in the Pre-Filing process. These letters will be signed by the NEXUS Project s team members accountable for specific stakeholder groups Voluntary Landowner Informational Meetings In October and November 2014, NEXUS conducted 9 voluntary Landowner Informational Meetings in convenient locations for affected landowners. NEXUS subject matter experts hosted meetings in Ohio and Michigan. At the voluntary landowner informational meetings and public open house meetings, information was available regarding all aspects of the Project, pipeline operations, safety and our company. Sign-in sheets documented the names and contact information for participants in order to allow for follow-up, as appropriate, with affected landowners. See Appendix H for a list of voluntary Landowner Informational Meetings. 9

27 NEXUS Project Public and Agency Participation Plan 4.5. Landowner Invitations to Voluntary Landowner Informational Meetings Letters inviting landowners to voluntary Landowner Informational Meetings were distributed prior to the meetings. See Appendix G for sample letters to landowners Public Libraries for Filings To ensure filings are accessible and convenient, we will place draft environmental resource reports in the public libraries of each community where proposed facilities are located. Routine checks of the libraries will be conducted to ensure the information remains available. The FERC certificate application along with final resource reports will also be filed in these public libraries Updates of Information Updates will be approved by our Project Manager and disseminated to stakeholders in a timely manner. Methods of dissemination of information to stakeholders include U.S., hand-delivery, e, Project website and/or telephone calls Filings with FERC The NEXUS Project Application will meet all FERC requirements. 5.
