Bison Pipeline Project
Bison Pipeline LLC (Bison), wholly owned by a subsidiary of TransCanada Corp. (TransCanada), is proposing to construct the Bison Pipeline Project (Project), an interstate natural gas pipeline designed to transport gas from the Powder River Basin to the Midwest market. The Project is being proposed to provide producers in the Powder River Basin with additional natural gas pipeline capacity to access and meet the increasing natural gas demand of the Midwest market.
The Project will consist of approximately 302 miles of 30-inch diameter natural gas pipeline and related pipeline system facilities that will extend northeastward from the Dead Horse Region near Gillette, Wyoming through southeastern Montana and southwestern North Dakota where it will interconnect with Northern Border Pipeline Company's (Northern Border) pipeline system near Northern Border's Compressor Station No. 6 in Morton County, North Dakota.
The Project's design capacity is approximately 477 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) with potential expandability of up to approximately 1,000 MMcf/d.
Future expansion and extension
TransCanada recognizes the opportunities for future growth in the Midwest and has designed Bison to be expandable to one billion cubic feet/day (Bcf/d). Future development plans include the expansion and extension of the Bison pipeline into the U.S. Rockies basin.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approves and regulates interstate natural gas pipelines such as Bison's Project. Bison has secured natural gas shipper's support and is proceeding with the necessary regulatory applications. Input from stakeholders and participating agencies is being sought as a part of the regulatory process. The company is also conducting an extensive public consultation process.
Bison has filed an application with the FERC for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate) which will grant Bison the right to construct, own and operate the pipeline. FERC will review the application, potential environmental impacts as well as landowner and other stakeholder concerns prior to issuing the Certificate.

We recognize the importance of incorporating public input into our project plans. We believe that through consultation with landowners, Native American tribes, communities and other interested stakeholders, we can address questions and concerns and integrate important public input into our activities.
We share project information and gather input throughout the planning phase and incorporate feedback into our project design and implementation as appropriate. More information regarding energy regulations and how stakeholders may become involved in this process is available on FERC's website.
Input from stakeholders will be sought through the regulatory process, as well as an extensive engagement process.
