  3. North Star Project Overview  Total Feet of Pipe Installed: • approx. 12,255’ of 2” • approx. 750’ of 4” • approx. 465’ of 6” • approx. 8,135’ of 8”  Customers in project area: • 210 directly impacted  Customers signed up for gas service line: • 87 customers or 41% of neighborhood • We are in need of additional applicants based on project bids received  Size of PY pipe to be installed: • 2 ” , 4”, 6” & 8” 3

  4. Preliminary Design – North Star 4

  5. North Star Construction Timeline  Construction Schedule: • Begin construction – Late March • Complete main installation – Late July • Complete final restoration – 10/31/2017  All work is weather dependent  Scope of work may change daily due to unforeseen conditions  The intent is to complete final restoration once all main and services are complete.  Temporary restoration will be done at the end of each task or week. 5

  6. Natural Gas Expansion Project  Project scope involves: • Marking of utility lines – 8-1-1 • Awarding bid contractor will test hole over main • Set up of the directional drill • Excavation of the receiving pits, etc. • Boring of the main • Gas main will be tied-in (energized) • Installation of service lines to applicable locations (bore) • Restoration will occur once all main and services are complete 6

  7. Installation of Natural Gas  Preliminary order of Gas Main installation by street for North Star 1. Polaris Dr 2. Meteor Ct 3. Mercury Rd 4. Jupiter Rd 5. Neptune Dr 6. North Star Rd 7.

  8. Service Installations  Services will be installed to each applicant when the customer is ready to start receiving natural gas  Each applicant will have an on-site meeting with the field technician and during those on-site meetings it will be determined if the customer is ready to receive a natural gas service line during this project.  Applicants are refunded their $200 security deposit when natural gas is flowing to the residence for a gas-fired appliance. Customer Converts & Gas meter is installed Security deposit refunded 8

  9. Gas Conversion Projects: Staging of Material  Locations in neighborhood that have been identified as low traveled areas are used for the staging of materials. Material is coned off for safety and kept to minimum level of encroachment into roadway. 9

  10. Gas Expansion Projects: Test Holes  Test holes may be performed prior to main installation by either hand digging or possibly vacuum excavation 10

  11. Gas Conversion Projects: Test Holes  Left: Test hole areas left safe with proper coverage until temporary restoration  Right: Completed temporary restoration with backfill 11

  12. Gas Conversion Project: Main Installation  Install new main throughout neighborhood in the state right-of- way at the curb line utilizing a directional bore technique. Equipment may need to encroach on private property for perpendicular main alignments 12

  13. Gas Conversion Project: Main Installation  Right: temporary restoration on a driveway that was open cut due to unforeseen underground conditions  Left: temporary restoration on large section of receiving pit for main 13

  14. Gas Conversion Project: Main Installation Final Restoration On Driveway 14

  15. Gas Conversion Project: Main Installation - Temporary Restoration  Left: temporary restoration of test hole in roadway  Right: temporary restoration of disturbed area in right-of-way 15

  16. Service line, Riser, & Meter bar  When customer is ready to convert to a gas-fired appliance, they must: • Hire a licensed contractor to install fuel lines • Have NCCO inspect & tag fuel line • Private contractor ties fuel line into meter bar • Call Delmarva Power to schedule meter install 16
