Gas Transmission Northwest LLC Files Application for Carty Lateral Project
Boardman
Conservation Area
On July 31,2012, Gas Transmission Northwest LLC (GTN) filed an
application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
requesting authorization to construct a natural gas transmission pipeline
in Morrow County, Oregon. This project, called the Carty Lateral Project, is
subject to the jurisdiction of FERC under the Natural Gas Act. On August 7,
2012, FERC assigned Docket No. CP12-494-000 to this application.
Specifically, GTN proposes to install:
• Approximately 24.3 miles of 20-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline
extending north from GTN's existing Compressor Station 9 near lone,
Oregon, and terminating at a connection with the proposed Carty
Generating Station to be owned and operated by Portland General
Electric Company (PGE).

• Various aboveground facilities associated with pipeline operation, safety
and natural gas measurement.
The proposed project has a design capacity of approximately 175,000
dekatherms per day. Pending receipt of regulatory authorizations, pipeline
construction and completion is scheduled to take place in 2014.

The Carty Lateral Project would benefit PGE customers with added reliability
provided by additional natural gas-fired generating capacity. The project
will be designed and constructed to meet or exceed the safety standards
established for natural gas transmission pipelines by the U.S. Department of
Transportation.
The FERC's Notice of Application (NOA) and pamphlet for landowners
entitled, "An Interstate Pipeline On My Land? What Do I Need to Know?"
are available at the FERC website at www.ferc.gov FERC's Office of External
Affairs may be reached by telephone at 202-502-8004 or toll-free at 800-
208-3372.
GTN has mailed the NOA and an information packet about the project to
affected landowners and governmental entities If you wish to review the
