Williams owns and operates midstream gathering and processing assets, and interstate natural gas pipelines. • Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma • Founded in 1908 • Operates 3 major natural gas pipeline systems − Transco − Northwest Pipeline − Gulfstream • Delivers approximately 14% of the natural gas consumed in U.S. • 15,000 miles of interstate natural gas pipelines

3. Williams’ presence in New JerseyTranscontinental Gas Pipe Line • Williams operates the Transco pipeline, a 10,200-mile natural gas transportation system that extends from South Texas to New York City. Transco’s deliveries account for 8% of the natural gas consumed in the U.S. • The Transco pipeline has reliably served New Jersey for more than 60 years, providing service to major local distribution companies such as PSE&G, South Jersey Gas, Elizabethtown Gas and New Jersey Natural Gas. The pipeline transports about 60% of the gas used in New Jersey, with supplies originating primarily from the Gulf Coast and Appalachia. • New Jersey statistics • 534 miles of pipe • 4 compressor stations • 69 meter stations • 1 LNG facility • 101 employees

4. An overview of a portion of a recent project Northeast Supply Link • In New Jersey, the project included: • a 6.64 mile loop of 42” diameter pipeline in Hunterdon County • uprating of 25.5 miles of existing pipeline in Essex, Passaic, Bergen, and Hudson Counties • a 0.46 mile replacement of pipeline in Essex County • the construction of a new electric-powered compressor station in Essex County

5. Land’s Approach to an Expansion Project • Four main stages • Preparation • Acquisition • Construction • Restoration The Land Department is typically “the first one in and the last one out”

6. Preparation Create a budget Determine staffing needs Obtain a regional appraisal Create a line list and field files Update records (title, tax maps, etc.) Identify potential Land issues Assist survey and review plats Initiate landowner outreach Attend Open Houses

7. Acquisition • Formulate offers • Engage in negotiations • Order appraisals • Initiate condemnation where necessary • Special acquisition issues in New Jersey • Proximity of homes to pipeline corridor • Extreme environmental regulation • Green Acres, etc.

8. Construction Remain in constant communication with landowners Assist construction department where needed Handle the multitude of landowner issues that arise

9. Restoration Investigate/handle damage claims Settle outstanding damage payments/repairs

10. Obstacles & Challenges • Landowner fears • Safety concerns • Pipeline accidents • Fear of construction workers • Stigma • Impact on the ability to sell home • Possible loss of home resale value • Damage concerns • Damage to house foundation • Damage to well or septic system

11. Obstacles & Challenges (continued) • Negative publicity • Increased media coverage of industry • Environmental organizations • Landowner coalitions • Perpetuation of false information • Bad reputation • Frequent accusations of low-balling offers, using strong-arm tactics, and outright lying
