Natural gas could begin flowing Saturday in Schuylkill County as Williams puts its Atlantic Sunrise pipeline project into full service.
According to the Republican Herald, construction on the Pennsylvania section of the Transco pipeline, which has the largest- volume design capacity for a natural gas pipeline system in the U.S., began in September 2017.
The 186- mile Greenfield portion of the pipeline runs through the county and connects the Marcellus gas supplies with markets as far south as Alabama.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the company’s request to put the system into full service, effective Saturday.
