**d. PROJECT PURPOSE:** Give brief written description of the project
purpose:

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  The project is needed to provide additional supply of clean, natural
  gas to the Mid-Atlantic Region to meet existing and growing demand for
  energy supply and infrastructure. Details of the market need for
  natural gas are described in Resource Reports 1 (Project Description)
  and 10 (Alternatives)
