Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, L.L.C.

is proposing to expand its natural gas pipeline system to transport new natural gas supplies from EnCana Corporation's proposed Deep Panuke project to markets in Atlantic Canada and the Northeast United States. The proposed expansion, known as the Phase V Project, will continue Maritimes' efforts to add incremental supplies from diverse sources to enhance supply reliability and security to the region.

Maritimes is proposing to install additional compression and make modifications at its existing compressor stations in Baileyville and Richmond, Maine, and at its compressor stations in Woodchopping Ridge, Brewer, Searsmont, and Eliot, Maine, that will be placed into service this year. Minor modifications are proposed at existing meter stations in Westbrook, Maine, and Dracut, Massachusetts.

In addition, Maritimes is proposing to construct and operate approximately four (4.0) miles of 36-inch diameter pipeline loop in Richmond, Maine, generally adjacent to its existing pipeline, and to integrate the uprating of the operating pressure of its mainline facilities from Baileyville to Westbrook, Maine, as approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation in 2006.

To provide information on the Phase V Project, Maritimes is holding
