Northern Lights, Faribault Compressor Station, Air Emissions Permit
The Faribault Compressor Station consists of one 16,000 braking horsepower (BHP) natural gas turbine and one emergency generator. The turbine is subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. GG. The facility is considered not considered to be a major source under any air quality permitting regulations. The modification authorized by this amendment is to remove the 10,600 BHP limit on the natural gas turbine to allow operation of the turbine at full capacity of 16,000 BHP.

MILES OF PIPELINE 16,400 DESIGN CAPACITY Approximately 7.8 billion cubic feet per day COMPRESSION STATIONS 63 TOTAL SYSTEM COMPRESSION 1,002,362 horsepower The BHE Pipeline Group consists of Berkshire Hathaway Energy’s interstate natural gas pipeline companies, Kern River Gas Transmission Company and Northern Natural Gas Company. • Kern River’s 1,700-mile system is a direct link between the abundant Rocky Mountain natural gas-producing basins and western markets, including Salt Lake City, Utah; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Southern California. • Northern Natural Gas’ 14,700-mile system extends from southwest Texas to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. • Together, Kern River and Northern Natural Gas delivered approximately 7 percent of the natural gas consumed in the U.S. in 2015. OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE • The reliability of natural gas delivery is crucial to meeting our customers’ needs. In 2015, Kern River had a compression reliability rate of 99.87% and Northern Natural Gas had a compression reliability rate of 99.99%. Mark Hewett, 49, is the president and CEO of the BHE Pipeline Group, which consists of Northern Natural Gas Company and Kern River Gas Transmission. In 1987, he joined MidAmerican Energy Company and served in a number of management positions, most recently as vice president of energy trading. In 2002, Hewett was selected as president of Northern Natural Gas upon MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company’s purchase of the company. In 2007, he also assumed executive responsibility for Kern River. Under Hewett’s leadership, the companies have provided industry-leading customer service. For the last seven years, Kern River and Northern Natural Gas have held the top two spots in the Mastio & Co. customer satisfaction survey. Kern River owns and operates 1,700 miles of pipeline in Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California. The company is a direct link between the abundant Rocky Mountain natural-gas producing basins and western markets, including Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, and southern California. Kern River’s pipeline system has a design capacity of 2.17 billion cubic feet per day. Northern Natural Gas owns and operates 14,700 miles of transmission pipeline with facilities in twelve states and access to the major North American supply basins. Northern Natural Gas also owns and operates three underground natural gas storage fields and two liquefied natural gas storage facilities. Northern Natural Gas’ pipeline system has a design capacity of 5.7 billion cubic feet per day.

Kern River APEX Expansion Project
The Apex Expansion Project included the construction of 28 miles of 38in pipeline called the Wasatch Loop and other facilities in the Kern River interstate pipeline system. Owned and operated by Kern River Gas Transmission Company, the Kern River pipeline has been operational since 1992. The $373m expansion increased the natural gas transmission capacity of the pipeline system by 266mmcf/d.

Kern River Gas Transmission Company
Kern River Gas Transmission Company, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, operates an interstate natural gas pipeline extending from the oil and gas producing fields of southwestern Wyoming, through Utah and Nevada, to the San Joaquin Valley near Bakersfield, California. Kern River’s system totals approximately 1,700 miles of 36- and 42-inch diameter steel pipe. Kern River utilizes 12 automated compressor stations spread across four states. The compressor units at these stations have a total system compression of approximately 384,220 horsepower. The pipeline currently has a design capacity of 2.17 billion cubic feet per day. Kern River's fully automated real-time pipeline is controlled from the gas control center in Salt Lake City. Kern River's gas controllers can monitor what is flowing through the pipeline at the exact time it is flowing. Kern River is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy.

Northern Lights 2017 Expansion Project
Project Overview Northern Natural Gas Company has announced its intention to construct and operate certain pipeline facilities in support of its customer’s growth requirements for natural gas. The Northern Lights 2017 Expansion project is a part of Northern’s commitment to a multi-year expansion project for its customers through 2026. The 2017 expansion includes plans to construct approximately 4.8 miles of 8- and 12-inch-diameter branch line loop extensions in Sherburne and Isanti counties, Minnesota. Northern also will, as part of the Project, install and operate an additional 15,900-horsepower (hp) ISO-rated compressor unit at its existing Faribault compressor station in Rice County, Minnesota. Northern will also make modifications to its town border stations and ancillary and appurtenant facilities. The proposed facilities are required to serve markets for industrial, commercial, and residential use that cannot be met by Northern’s existing infrastructure. The Project, as proposed, will allow Northern to transport an incremental peak day firm service load of approximately 76,000 decatherms per day (Dth/day) through the addition of the pipeline and compression facilities on Northern’s existing system. An open season was held in October 2015 to affirm and quantify market growth opportunities, to solicit interest for firm transportation service, and to identify the need to construct facilities necessary to deliver firm transportation service to Northern’s system north of Ventura, Iowa, for service commencing on or after November 1, 2017. http://www.northernnaturalgas.com/expansionprojects/Pages/NorthernLights2017.aspx
