Comments on the project
鶹ýӳEast Side is an important piece of our project backlog, which is designed to meet the needs of both producers and end-use markets over the next several years,鶹ýӳ said CPG President Glen Kettering. 鶹ýӳPlacing it in service is a testament to our team鶹ýӳs focus on executing CPG鶹ýӳs exciting growth plan on time and on budget.鶹ýӳ
The ESE project creates additional capacity of 312 million ft3/d on the Columbia system. It involves the installation of two natural gas pipelines, with approximately nine miles of pipeline in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and nine miles of pipeline in Gloucester County, New Jersey. The project also includes modifications and upgrades to certain compressor station facilities, including the installation of two new 4700 hp compressor units at Columbia鶹ýӳs Milford Compressor Station in Pike County, Pennsylvania, and two new 10 000 hp units at the company鶹ýӳs Easton Compressor Station in Northampton County, Pennsylvania.
Columbia worked extensively with residents of Pennsylvania and New Jersey 鶹ýӳ as well as federal, state and local agencies 鶹ýӳ to outline the pipeline project and share information about safety procedures and construction techniques for ESE. The project received its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on 18 December 2014, and construction began in the spring of 2015.
