How are the storage facility site and route of the pipeline chosen?
The selection process is designed to minimize the project’s impact on the environment, landowners and communities and is conducted in a deliberate and thoughtful manner. The storage field will be located in a depleted natural gas reservoir. This location is therefore fixed by geologic conditions. As we refine the pipeline route, we will consider a number of factors including landowner concerns, environmental issues, cultural resources and constructability. Wherever possible, we will parallel existing utility easements. We will work with all interested parties as much as we can, including our neighbors and local, state and federal agencies in selecting the preferred routing.
