PA DEP Ready to Issue Permits for EGTS Pipe Project from PA to OH

Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage (EGTS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company (Warren Buffett’s company), filed a new project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in July (see Eastern Gas Files with FERC to Expand Pipe Flows from PA to OH). The project, called the Appalachian Reliability Project (ARP), is designed to move more natural gas from Pennsylvania to Ohio. ARP will leverage existing EGTS pipeline infrastructure while increasing its system capacity through pipeline additions (4 miles of new pipe) and station upgrades. Over the weekend, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) published a notice in the PA Bulletin looking for comments on the department's plan to issue three permits related to the project.
