$40 M Natural Gas Pipeline Proposed

WESB News: 11/06/08 - Possible Gas Pipeline Through McKean Co.

Dominion Resources is asking federal regulators for permission to build a $40 million natural gas pipeline through the Big Springs area of McKean County, through the Allegheny National Forest in Elk County, into Armstrong County and ending at a compressor station in Westmoreland County.

The project includes natural gas measuring and regulating stations to be built in Elk and McKean counties.

The natural gas producing companies that have signed contracts to take all the project's available capacity are Equitable Energy Inc., Seneca Resources Corp., a unit of National Fuel Gas Co., of Williamsville, N.Y., Kittanning-based independent natural gas producer/marketer Snyder Brothers Inc., and Dominion companies Dominion Field Services and Dominion Peoples.

Dominion has asked regulators to issue a final order approving the project by June 1, so that the pipeline can come on-line no later than November 1, 2010.
