pipeline facilities, which provide firm transportation service to two

pipeline parallel to and looping the existing 10- and 12-inch diameter
mainline and approximately 1.71 miles of additional 16-inch diameter
pipeline to provide firm transportation service to a third power plant

County, New Mexico. MarkWest asserts that the expansion facilities will
increase the maximum capacity of MarkWest's system from 166 MMcf/d to
276 MMcf/d and will include the construction of a new interconnection
with Northern Natural Gas Company. MarkWest estimates the cost of
construction to be $3.2 million.
