| The '''Appalachian Gateway Project''' is a natural gas pipeline and infrastructure project planned by [[Dominion Transmission Inc.]] to begin construction in 2011 and to go into service in 2012. The $600 million pipeline is to have a capacity of 484,260 dekatherms of nat gas/day and connect the [[Marcellus shale]] gas produced in Northern [[West Virginia]] and [[Pennsylvania]] to the gas storage fields and pipelines of Pennsylvania. The 110 mile pipeline is to run from northern WV to Dominion's jointly-owned Oakford storage facility with [[Spectra Energy]] in Delmont, PA. Delmont is a borough in Westmoreland County located about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh. The project also includes four new compressor stations along with upgrades to two existing ones. | The '''Appalachian Gateway Project''' is a natural gas pipeline and infrastructure project planned by [[Dominion Transmission Inc.]] to begin construction in 2011 and to go into service in 2012.
