HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--
Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP (NYSE: BWP) today announced that its Texas Gas
Transmission, LLC, subsidiary has completed remediation of the pipe anomalies on
its Fayetteville and Greenville Laterals and has received authorization from the
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to operate these

anomalies have been remediated on all of Boardwalk`s expansion pipeline projects
and all of these projects are now approved to operate at standard operating

order to obtain the authority to operate our projects at higher operating
pressures. PHMSA retains discretion on granting these additional approvals."

Texas Gas mainline in Coahoma County, Mississippi. The Greenville lateral
consists of 95 miles of 36-inch pipeline and originates at the Texas Gas
mainline near Greenville, Mississippi, and proceeds to Kosciusko, Mississippi.
