    Pursuant to the settlement agreement between Algonquin and NSTAR

and to ensure reliability of service. The J-2 Loop will have a total 
design capacity of 140,000 Dth/d, and a maximum allowable operating 
pressure of 433 psi. Algonquin proposes to implement initial Section

pursuant to Rate Schedule AFT-CL and AIT-2. The entire capacity created 
by the J-2 Loop project has been subscribed by NSTAR under the J-2 
Facility Firm Service Agreement, which specifies a long-term firm 
commitment for 20 years from the in-service date of the project. 
Algonquin proposes a service date of September 1, 2009.
