an easterly direction for 3510 feet where it crosses the West Port Arthur Road 7760 feet
northwest of the intersection of the West Port Arthur Road and state highway 365. The
pipeline will be crossing state highway 365 at the Total Safety facility, going in a southeasterly
direction to cross Dorsey Street 3783 feet northwest of intersection of Dorsey Street and West
Port Arthur Road, 53rd street 480 feet northwest of intersection of Marian Anderson Ave. and
53rd street, and the intersection of Marion Anderson Avenue at 50th street. The pipeline will
cross H.O. Mills Boulevard and state highway 73, 1162 feet southwest of the intersection of
Houston Ave. and H.O. Mills Boulevard terminating in the Flint Hills facility. See Exhibit A for
GPS Coordinates. The purpose of the pipeline is to transfer natural gas from an existing 24 inch

The 16" OD, 0.375" W.T.,API 5L X70 pipe,coated with 30-40 mils ARO over 14-16 mils FBE will
be a cathodically protected pipeline and have a M.A.O.P. of 975 PSIG. The pipeline will be

to make the interconnect.
