 The 2008 Core Zone Pipeline project consists of operating and maintaining approximately 11.8 miles of previously constructed pipeline within Dimock and Springville Townships, Susquehanna County. The unpermitted Chapter 105 crossings resulted in the impact of 1,253 lineal feet of stream impacts and a total of 1.58 acres (68,825 square feet) of wetland impacts, of which, 0.73 acre (31,767 square feet) are permanent wetlands conversion impacts. The project was installed for the purpose of providing safe and reliable conveyance of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale formation to market.
