Eastern Shore Natural Gas — 2017 Expansion Project

On May 12, 2016, the Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company ("Eastern Shore") began it's the pre-filing review process with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for its 2017 Expansion Project. The proposed project consists of: 1) approximately 33 miles of pipeline looping* in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware; 2) upgrades to certain existing metering facilities in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania; 3) installation of an additional compressor unit at Eastern Shore's existing Daleville Compressor Station in Chester County, Pennsylvania; and 4) approximately 17 miles of new pipeline mainline extension and two pressure control stations in Sussex County, Delaware. This project was completed in 2019.

* "Looping" refers to pipeline segments that will be constructed, to the greatest extent practicable, immediately adjacent to Eastern Shore's existing pipelines.
