				with field gathering systems;
(B)
				the technical and economic feasibility of providing connections with other
				field gathering systems at intermediate points along the proposed pipeline or
				the technical and economic feasibility of connections or interconnections with
				other pipelines at intermediate points along the proposed pipeline;
(C) the location, area and capacity of tank
				farms or other storage facilities;
(D) the location and description of any
