Dear Landowner,
Northwest Pipeline LLC (Northwest) plans to begin construction of its 2024 LINE 1400/1401 INTERMOUNTAIN PIPE
REPLACEMENT PROJECT in April 2024. On most properties involved in this project, including yours, Northwest has a 75-foot-
wide pipeline easement,with rights included to remove and replace a pipeline or pipelines. Accordingly, Northwest plans to
compensate you for surface damages related to crops, pasturage and landscaping. Said surface damages will need to be
discussed and assessed with you to identify and agree upon together.
Compensation for surface damages will be made once calculated and agreed upon together.Any payment will also require
the completion of a Request for W-9/Taxpayer Identification Number Information form.
Northwest, by this letter and landowner binder, is attempting to provide a concise source of information related to its
construction and compensation plans and hopes the information will assist you in understanding the project. We appreciate
your patience and cooperation as we go forward with this uncommon inconvenience. Also attached to this letter is a list of
mutually agreed upon Construction Stipulations that will memorialize and help govern our construction activities on your
property and to limit the impacts as much as possible.You may reach me directly with any questions at(480)819-2299.
Sincerely,
RiAnn Holsonback
