length, (3) two booster compressor units, 500 and 350 hp, and (4) 
certain auxiliary facilities. KMPXP will reimburse KMIGT for the costs 
associated with the construction of the new facilities. The total 
estimated construction cost of the proposed facilities is $56,605,800. 
KMIGT proposes in-service date of August 1, 2014.
