Galesville

FERC has approved a project to increase storage capability at the Hersher Galesville (HG) aquifer storage field in Kankakee County, IL, proposed by Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of America.

FERC Friday issued a favorable environmental assessment for Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of America’s proposal to expand the working gas capacity at its existing Herscher-Galesville Gas Storage Field in Kankakee County, IL, by 10 Bcf. The project calls for the construction of 15 new water withdrawal wells; construction of 11 new water disposal wells; the addition of a new 8,180 hp gas-fired compressor unit within Compressor Station 201 at the storage field; and the replacement, looping or extension of pipe.
