impacting its market area and/or making landfall near Coden,
Alabama
Ê
Ê
Ê
Bonnie, Arlene and Dennis crossed our offshore pipeline
Charlie, Frances, and Jeanne crossed our market system
Ivan made landfall near Mobile Bay and our compressor operations
Gulfstream’s pipeline facilities sustained no material damage
Required surveys indicate offshore pipeline has not moved
Post 2004 Gulfstream purchased & installed additional emergency
generation at key communication points
Gulfstream’s electric generation at Coden, AL and Gas Treating
Facilities were critical components of reliable service
June 1, 2006 fuel retention reduced from 1.53% to 1.34%
