The proposed project is targeting northeast US shippers seeking additional market supply flexibility and reliability, access to additional gas supplies in the market area, liquid points of sale for locally produced gas from the Marcellus Shale and Trenton-Black River plays, additional storage opportunities, and capture of pricing differentials between the various interconnected market pipelines. The anticipated in-service date is summer 2010.

The Marc-I hub line will include approximately 43 miles of lateral piping, compression and interconnect facilities connecting Inergy’s Stagecoach South Lateral to Transco. This open season will commence on June 12, 2008, and will close on July 11, 2008.

Inergy is expected to complete construction of its North Lateral connecting Stagecoach to the Millennium Pipeline later in 2008. The Marc-I hub line, when placed in-service, will allow Inergy to wheel volumes to and from Stagecoach’s South Lateral, TGP, Transco, and the Millennium pipeline.
