Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Site Visit

March 8, 2005.
    On March 21 and 22, 2005, the Office of Energy Projects (OEP) staff 
will conduct a pre-certification site visit of Eastern Shore Natural 
Gas Company's (ESNG) planned expansion project. The project consists of 
4 segments of loop.\1\ Segment 1 consists of 1.4 miles of 16-inch-
diameter loop in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Segment 2 consists of 
3.2 miles of 16-inch-diameter loop in New Castle County, Delaware. 
Segment 3 consists of 10.3 miles of 6-inch-diameter loop and Segment 4 
consists of 6.0 miles of 10-inch-diameter loop, both in Sussex County, 
Delaware. These loop segments were described in more detail in our 
Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the 
Proposed Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company's Amended 2003-2005 
Expansion Project.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A loop is a segment of pipeline installed adjacent to an 
existing pipeline and which connects to the existing pipeline at 
both ends of the loop. The loop allows more gas to be moved through 
the system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We will view the proposed route and variations that are being 
considered for the planned pipeline. Examination will be by automobile 
and on foot. Representatives of ESNG will be accompanying the OEP 
staff.
    All interested parties may attend. Those planning to attend must 
provide their own transportation. ESNG will be holding a short Open 
House at the meeting sites in Delaware prior to the site visit for 
those landowners that may have questions about the project. Those
