Description:
Atlantic Sunrise (Docket No. CP15-138-000) would provide an additional 1.7 Bcf/d of natural gas transportation service through: (1) construction of 198.45 miles of pipeline in Pennsylvania and Virginia; (2) construction of natural gas compressor facilities in Pennsylvania and Maryland; (3) construction of two new meter stations and three new regulator stations in Pennsylvania; (4) various modifications at seven compressor stations in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina; and (5) modifications at 42 meter stations and 10 valve sites in North Carolina and South Carolina The Atlantic Sunrise amendment (Docket No. CP17-212-000) alters the pipeline route in Pennsylvania by shifting the centerline to the west to address landowner and Federal agency concerns, thereby adding approximately 1.6 miles to the route.
