Atlantic
Pipeline
From the Project Director
Our project team continues to work on adjusting the ACP
route to most effectively meet the needs of the project
while minimizing impacts to our environment. Several
significant route alternatives have recently been adopted,
as well as several smaller adjustments and variations.
You can learn more about these changes on page 2. You
can also check out our interactive map to see the changes
up close by visiting dom.com/acpipeline and clicking on
the link for Maps. The project is on track to begin
construction in 2017 and be in service by the end of 2018.
Project Update

i
We are conducting open houses in several areas affected
by recent changes to the proposed route. Specific
information about the open houses is available on the Open
Houses and Public Meetings page of the ACP website at
www.dom.com/ACPipeline.
The project team is also working diligently to respond to
information requests from the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC). FERC continues to work on the
environmental review of the project. The information
requests are an important and expected part of the
regulatory process.
Visit the ACP website at www.dom.com/ACPipeline FERC
Filings and Information page to view all of the project team's
submittals to FERC including our responses to information
requests and information about recent changes to the
proposed route. Visit the Maps page to see an interactive
map showing the proposed route as well as route
alternatives being considered.
Thank you for your continued interest in the Atlantic Coast
Pipeline.

ACP Route Continues to Evolve with New Information
Route selection for a project of this scope and scale is an
ongoing and consultative process. The process is designed
so we can work with landowners, agencies and many
others to improve the project as we continually learn more
about the areas we are evaluating. The challenge in making
adjustments always involves balancing the interests of
landowners with the input we receive from state and federal
agencies and the need to protect many different resources.
As one example, Atlantic has been working with the U.S
Forest Service for several months to identify a route that
meets that agency's requirements for protecting
sensitive species. A newly adopted route was
submitted to FERC in mid-February. The route
avoids Cheat Mountain and Shenandoah Mountain
and reduces the total mileage in the Monongahela
and George Washington National Forests by more
than one third, from 28.8 miles to 18.5 miles. The
route adds approximately 30 miles to the total
length of the pipeline.
About 250 new landowners in Randolph and
Pocahontas counties in West Virginia; and
Highland, Bath and Augusta counties in Virginia
have received notifications about this change.
ACP land agents are working directly with these
landowners for permission to survey this new
route. Residents in these areas will also have an
opportunity to attend open house events in their
area to learn more about the project and speak with
team members who are there to answer questions.
As survey work continues, additional route
adjustments may be necessary. The adoption of
this alternative route through the National Forests
— along with the hundreds of other adjustments
we've made based on public input — are evidence
that the process is working.
Stay up to date on the current proposed path of
the pipeline by visiting our website, dom.com/
acpipeline. From the Maps section, you can view
our interactive map and enter your address to go
directly to that area. The interactive map will always
be the most up-to-date way of viewing the ACP
route. We also have maps available by county, by
state, and by alternative — showing each of the
adopted alternatives since our original application
was filed with FERC in September 2015.
Overall, Atlantic has received permission for surveying
about 90% of the originally filed route. In areas where
Atlantic has adopted significant route alternatives since
filing, we have received permission to survey about 65% of
the new route so far. To date, more than 500 landowners
have already signed easement agreements and received
compensation.
The ACP project team remains committed to working with
landowners and finding the best possible route with the
least impacts.

Safety Focus: Is your car ready for spring?
Spring is nearly upon us, bringing with it intermittent
showers, slick driving conditions, and the ever-present
potholes. Is your car up for the challenge? Find out by
reviewing AAA's spring car maintenance recommendations.
1. Top off fluids: especially windshield wiper fluid
2. Check your spare: make sure you have one and that it is
properly inflated and free of rust
3. Check your alignment: potholes can push your wheels out
of alignment causing serious damage to tires over time
4. Check your tire pressure: temperature fluctuations can
affect tire pressure, which in turn affects your car's
handling, gas mileage, and tire wear
5. Change your wiper blades: clearing snow and ice all
winter long can leave blades damaged; properly working
blades should clean without leaving any streaks
6. Give it a thorough cleaning: get rid of all that salt residue
inside and out
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to co -locate the pipeline with
existing infrastructure easements?
Co -location is commonly misunderstood to mean sharing
the same space, which is almost never the case for right-
of-way easements. Co -location means "adjacent to," so a
co -located pipeline could run parallel to existing corridors, if
there is enough space next to or near the existing easement.
Typically, co -located easements can share about five feet
of space. Co -locating the ACP does not mean it would be
contained within an existing easement. Instead, Atlantic
would need to acquire an additional, parallel easement
from the owner of the property already containing existing
infrastructure.
Are there any public or private water wells that would
be impacted by the alternative route?
We are required by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission to document all public and private water wells
within 150 feet of the route, so we will gather that information
as we perform surveys on the alternative route in the coming
months. In areas with karst and shallow bedrock, we will
identify all wells within 500 feet of the route. We take a
number of precautions to avoid impacting water sources
during construction, but the first step is performing the
surveys so we can identify where those resources
are located. Because we are looking for wells as far as
U
500 feet away from the pipeline route, we will be contacting
landowners who may not have heard from us previously.
Again, this is a voluntary program to identify and record the
existence and performance of the wells today, so we can
understand if or how the construction may have any impact
in the future.

About Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC. Atlantic is a company formed by four major U.S. energy companies —Dominion (NYSE: D), Duke
Energy (NYSE: DUK), Piedmont Natural Gas (NYSE: PNY), and AGL Resources (NYSE: GAS) — to build and own the ACP. Through access to
multiple supply basins, ACP would be capable of delivering 1.5 million dekatherms (equivalent to 1.5 billion cubic feet per day) of natural gas. The
abundant supply of natural gas that would flow safely and reliably through this pipeline is needed by utilities within the project area to generate
electricity, heat homes and businesses, and meet a growing domestic demand for energy.
