    In early 2012, Elkton Gas has determined that its Maryland LDC 
system includes 744 feet of pipe and appurtenant facilities crossing 
Maryland/Delaware border in order to reach a gate station owned and 
operated by Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company (Eastern Shore), known as 
the North Gate Station. Elkton Gas does not provide service in Delaware 
and is not subject to regulation by the Delaware Public Service 
Commission. Elkton Gas does not contemplate any changes in its 
operations as a result of this change in regulatory status. The purpose 
of owning facilities in Delaware is to bring gas to Maryland to serve 
Elkton Gas' customers in Maryland.
