WRB 10-Q Quarter ended Sept. 30, 2011

Williams strives to preserve the environment for future generations by avoiding, minimizing, and mitigating potential impacts on biodiversity and land during the routing, siting, construction, maintenance, remediation, and retirement of pipelines and facilities. We conduct Geographic Information System (“GIS”) analyses, computer-based reviews, and site-specific surveys to pinpoint sensitive environmental, cultural, and historic areas. In addition to working with permitting agencies, Williams collaborates with interest groups, biodiversity and land mapping experts, community organizations, and land management agencies to develop appropriate impact minimizations, restoration, and offset plans. Williams is committed to strong landowner engagement and partnership, responsibly installing pipelines during construction, and, when assets are retired, restoring the land to its original state or beyond, while creating opportunities for beneficial reuse.
