Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC
Access Northeast Project - FERC Docket No. PF16-1-000
FERC Pre-Filing Process
MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORT
Period Ending: October 31, 2016 Report No. 11
By letter order dated November 17, 2015, Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC (“Algonquin”) was
granted approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) to utilize FERC’s Pre-
Filing Review Process for the Access Northeast Project (the “Project”) with facilities proposed in
New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. The Project has been
assigned Docket No. PF16-1-000.
This Monthly Progress Report provides a brief summary of significant Project activities or changes
to Project facilities that have occurred from October 1, 2016 to October 31, 2016. Activities and
milestones covered in this report associated with the FERC Pre-Filing Review Process, landowner
survey permission, field surveys, agency and stakeholder outreach are also provided below.
1.0 FERC NEPA REVIEW
Algonquin is continuing its comprehensive analysis of the Access Northeast Project and remains
fully committed to providing a regional solution for more reliable and affordable energy service
for the benefit of New England’s consumers and to meet each state's energy and environmental
goals and policies. The Independent System Operator for New England (ISO-New England) who
is responsible for operating the electric grid frequently reiterates that pipeline capacity within the
New England region is a major concern, stating that “ultimately, improving the natural-gas
delivery infrastructure in New England… will have the most impact on addressing the reliability,
price volatility, and negative emission impacts during winter.” [1]
Additionally, Gordon van Welie,
President and CEO of ISO-NE, recently commented that New England’s power generation
situation is precarious during the winter time, ISO-NE is concerned that beyond 2019 it may
become unsustainable during extreme cold conditions. [2]
Algonquin believes it is prudent to take additional time to solidify the commercial foundation for
critically needed infrastructure and to complete its analysis of the Access Northeast facilities. As
such, Algonquin expects limited activity on the FERC docket while this evaluation is ongoing.
Algonquin will re-engage with FERC Staff, agencies and other interested stakeholders through
pre-filing activities during the first half of 2017. Algonquin anticipates filing draft Resource
Reports by mid-2017 followed by the FERC Application in late 2017. Algonquin appreciates the
diligent work that has been accomplished to date on the project through the FERC pre-filing
process by the FERC Staff, agencies and other interested stakeholders. Algonquin will resume
providing updates in the monthly progress reports in 2017 as the Project advances.

developing appropriate route variations and will provide the FERC with any alignment revisions
as they are developed.

Geotechnical reports and HDD feasibility analyses will be developed once the geotechnical data
has been collected and analyzed.
Access Northeast LNG Facility
FEED level geotechnical and seismic studies have been completed for the proposed LNG facility
site in Acushnet, Massachusetts. The results of these studies are discussed in Algonquin’s Pre-
Filing Draft Resource Report 13, which was submitted to the FERC on May 31, 2016.
Ongoing plot plan optimization efforts will likely result in modifications to the site plan
arrangement for the LNG Facility. Such modifications may result in a need for additional
geotechnical data to complete the FEED efforts and to finalize Resource Report 13. Algonquin is
working with its contractors at this time to determine any additional geotechnical investigations at
the LNG Facility site and will consult further with FERC and other participating agencies, as
appropriate, prior to executing such investigations.
Other Access Northeast Project Aboveground Facilities
Algonquin is currently preparing a geotechnical survey plan to document existing subsurface
conditions and bedrock properties at Project compressor and meter station facilities. As the plans
for these facilities are developed, an assessment as to the geotechnical surveys required at each
location will be developed and progress will be summarized in future monthly reports.
4.1.5 Rare, Threatened & Endangered Species Surveys
Algonquin has initiated informal consultations with federal and state resource agencies to identify
the known locations of federal- or state-listed threatened or endangered species and species of
special concern that could potentially be affected by construction or operation of the Project.
Algonquin is consulting with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries
Service, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, New York State Department of
7. 6
Environmental Conservation, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection,
Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection, and State Natural Heritage Programs regarding the presence of
protected animal and plant species, and their habitats. Algonquin has initiated field surveys for
rare, threatened, and endangered species as follows.
Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Species Survey Status
• Bald Eagle – 100 percent complete.
• Vernal Pools – 83 percent complete.
• Bog Turtle Phase 1 – 99 percent complete.
• Bog Turtle Phase 2 – 98 percent complete.
• Indiana/Northern Long-eared Bat – 100 percent complete.
• Timber Rattle Snake – 100 percent complete.
• Wood/Box Turtle – 100 percent complete.
• Plants – 100 percent complete.
Several potential vernal pools have been identified that will require surveys in April/May of 2017.
The remaining wetlands where bog turtle Phase 1 and 2 surveys are required are currently located
on parcels with no access permission.
5.0 STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH
Algonquin has been meeting with governmental stakeholders since June 2015 after the Access
Northeast Project Open Season was announced and before Algonquin commenced landowner
notifications in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts in August
2015. Algonquin has been interacting with and informing the public and receiving feedback on
the Project through public meetings, landowner informational meetings, one-on-one discussions,
written materials and other means of communication.
The following meetings were held during the period covered by this report: (October 2016):
Connecticut
• October 11, 2016 - Richard Kehoe, District Director to U.S. Senator Richard
Blumenthal.
Massachusetts
• October 4, 2016 – Grafton, MA Conservation Commission – Request for Determination
of Applicability hearing to conduct geotechnical investigation.
• October 18, 2016 – Shrewsbury, MA Conservation Commission – Request for
Determination of Applicability hearing to conduct geotechnical investigation.
No meetings are currently scheduled or anticipated to occur in the next reporting period (November
2016).
8. 7
Algonquin continues to work with stakeholders, including landowners, government agencies and
community leaders to refine the Access Northeast Project.
6.0 AGENCY CONTACTS
In addition to stakeholder outreach efforts with landowners and public officials, Algonquin has
been consulting with federal, state, and local regulatory agencies. Algonquin began contacting
federal and state regulatory agencies in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and
Massachusetts in July 2015 to discuss the relevant permitting requirements for the Project. Since
that time, Algonquin has continued its outreach efforts with the key permitting agencies. The
consultations involve briefings, meetings, letter requests for resource information, telephone
discussions, and emails.
In recognition of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) process
for review of design spill criteria associated with a proposed FERC-jurisdictional LNG facility,
Algonquin also has initiated consultation with the PHMSA regarding the Access Northeast LNG
Facility.
During the period covered by this report the following meeting was held with agencies in the
Project area:
• October 4, 2016 – Grafton, MA Conservation Commission.
The following meeting is currently scheduled or anticipated to occur in the next reporting period
(November 2016):
• November 15, 2016 – Shrewsbury, MA Conservation Commission.
