(1) Reflects the removal of amounts related to Crossroads Pipeline Company, which was included in the Predecessor but was not contributed to the Partnership.
The asset retirement obligations above relate to obligations related to the modernization program of pipelines and transmission facilities, the retiring of offshore facilities, PCB remediation and asbestos removal at several compressor and measuring stations. The Partnership recognizes that there are obligations to incur significant costs to retire wells associated with gas storage operations; however, the lives of these wells are indeterminable until management establishes plans for closure.
