Iroquois Pipeline Operating Company operates and maintains a natural gas pipeline to bring clean, safe and reliable energy to your area.
If you are a landowner, there may be pipeline facilities on or near your property. The purpose of this message, and the information on the back cover,
is to make you aware of our pipeline and what to do in the event of an emergency.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
I am pleased to present the 2020 edition of the Iroquois calendar, a long-standing annual tradition of our
company. This year’s calendar showcases many species of insects and birds, including the eye-catching
Monarch Butterfly and the energetic Ruby Throated Hummingbird, that pollinate plants and flowers
along the 414 miles of the Iroquois pipeline during the warmer months.
In addition to highlighting the important role these pollinators play in our ecosystem along the pipeline,
the calendar also serves as an integral part of our Public Awareness and Education program. The safety
of our pipeline personnel and the people who live and work near the pipeline has always been, and
continues to be, our number one priority. It is critically important that the communities that host our
pipeline be informed about its location and what to do in the event of an incident.
While accidents are very rare, safety is a shared responsibility among pipeline personnel, federal and
state agencies that provide oversight, public safety officials and our neighbors living and working near
our pipeline.
Please take the time to review and understand all the facts provided in this calendar related to pipeline
safety in general and those specific to Iroquois.
I hope you enjoy viewing the beautiful wildlife featured within this calendar and keep it on display
throughout the year as a convenient reference to Iroquois’ emergency and non-emergency numbers
in the event you need to contact us.
Jeffrey A. Bruner
President
Further information on Iroquois’ safety, integrity and public awareness programs is available on our website at www.iroquois.com.
Honey Bee
As honey bees gather pollen and nectar for their survival, they pollinate crops such as
apples, broccoli and blueberries, some of which would not exist without the honey bee at bloom
time. With over 20,000 different types of bees, the honey bee is recognized as the most
charismatic representative of the species.

White-lined Sphinx Moth
The white-lined sphinx moth is found throughout most of North America. With a wingspan
of two-to-three inches, the adults are primarily nocturnal fliers and are especially attracted
to scented flowers. They use their long proboscis to sip nectar while flying from
flower-to-flower, pollinating as they go.

Monarch Butterfly
The monarch butterfly is renowned for its striking orange and black colors and
is considered by many as the king of butterflies, hence its name “monarch.” While
feeding on nectar, these eye-catching creatures pollinate clusters of brightly colored
wildflowers that have flat surfaces and stay open during the day.

The yellow jacket wasp is identified by its distinctive combination of black and yellow color,
and small size. In early summer, the yellow jacket wasp pollinates plants and flowers as
they feed on nectar. They are also beneficial to the ecosystem as they prey on flies,
caterpillars and young insects that damage crop plants.

Bumble Bee
A bumble bee places its upper body close to the anthers of a flower and vibrates
its wings, shaking the pollen loose and coating its fuzzy body. The bumble bee then grooms
its body, storing the pollen in sacs on its legs. Any pollen left on the bumble bee
falls off its body when landing on another flower.

Ant
Ants turn and aerate the soil allowing water and oxygen to reach plant roots.
They also invade flowering plants in search of sweet nectar and in return for the nourishment,
they help plant reproduction. Plants that benefit from ant pollination grow low to the
ground and have flowers that grow close to the stem.

such as clove currant and columbine.

wanders between plants.

Public Awareness MessageNatural gas has an excellent safety record, but like all forms of energy, it must be handled properly.
It is important for everyone to be familiar with the characteristics of natural gas and be prepared
to react properly to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
What To Do If You Suspect a Natural Gas Leak
1 Move to a safe location.
2 Call 911 and Iroquois’ Gas Control at 1 800.888.3982.
Do not strike a match; use telephones; operate engines and motors; or switch
on/off appliances, lights, or even a flashlight in the area where you smell gas.
These items can produce sparks that might ignite the gas and cause an explosion.
How To Detect a Natural Gas Leak
Smell
Natural gas is a colorless, odorless gas. Some pipelines are “odorized”
with a smell similar to rotten eggs to aid in detection of a leak. Iroquois
Unodorized Natural Gas has both odorized and unodorized pipeline segments. See box at left.
