Environmental Proceedings

Rager Mountain Storage Field Venting, Jackson Township, Pennsylvania

On November 6, 2022, Equitrans Midstream Corporation (Equitrans Midstream) became aware of natural gas venting from one of the storage wells, well 2244, at Equitrans, L.P.'s Rager Mountain natural gas storage facility (the Rager Mountain Facility), located in Jackson Township, a remote section of Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Venting at the Rager Mountain Facility was halted on November 19, 2022. Since the time of the incident, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (the PADEP) has concluded its investigation and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (the PHMSA) and other investigators are continuing to conduct civil and criminal investigations of the incident, and we are cooperating in such investigations.

On December 29, 2022, the PHMSA issued Equitrans Midstream a Notice of Proposed Safety Order that included proposed remedial requirements related to the Rager Mountain Facility incident, including, but not limited to, completing a root cause analysis, and subsequently, on May 26, 2023, the PHMSA issued a consent order to Equitrans Midstream requiring the completion of a root cause analysis and a remedial work plan and providing that Equitrans Midstream may not resume injection operations at the Rager Mountain Facility until authorized by the PHMSA. In August 2023, Equitrans Midstream submitted a root cause analysis to the PHMSA and later submitted a remedial work plan and injection plan seeking authority to resume injections at the Rager Mountain Facility using all wells in the facility except three, which remained disconnected from the storage field. On October 2, 2023, the PHMSA approved Equitrans Midstream's injection plan and Equitrans Midstream restarted injections at the Rager Mountain Facility on October 5, 2023, subject to certain pressure restrictions and other requirements in the PHMSA consent agreement. On November 16, 2023, the PHMSA issued a letter to Equitrans Midstream approving Equitrans Midstream's request to remove all pressure restrictions at the Rager Mountain Facility. On May 30, 2024, the PHMSA approved resuming operations for one of the three remaining wells excluded from the injection plan. The corrective measures in the May 2023 consent order with the PHMSA have been completed, all wells at the Rager Mountain Facility have returned to service, and on January 9, 2026, we submitted a request to the PHMSA that the consent order be terminated.

On October 17, 2025, the PHMSA issued a Notice of Probable Violation and Proposed Civil Penalty pertaining to this matter, pursuant to which the PHMSA recommended assessing a civil penalty. On April 21, 2026, the PHMSA issued a consent order incorporating the terms of a consent agreement we entered into with the PHMSA (the Rager Agreement). The Rager Agreement resolved the allegations pertaining to this matter and set the civil penalty amount at $466,550. We expect that the resolution of this matter, including the payment of the civil penalty, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Additionally, on July 24, 2025, the Pennsylvania Fifty-First Statewide Investigating Grand Jury returned four criminal charges against Equitrans, L.P., consisting of one violation of the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. 4009(b)(1)) and three violations of the Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. 691.602(b); 35 P.S. 691.401; and 35 P.S. 691.611). All charges are second degree misdemeanors. In its complaint (the Rager Complaint), the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania alleges that from November 6, 2022, to November 19, 2022, Equitrans, L.P. negligently caused air pollution and brine water to emit and discharge into the air, groundwater, and wetlands around the George L. Reade #1 Well, without first obtaining a permit from the PADEP. The Rager Complaint carries the possibility of a monetary sanction, that if imposed could result in a fine in excess of $300,000; however, we expect that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
