The purpose of the Rock Springs Expansion Project is to deliver natural gas from Transco's existing mainlines ''A'' and ''B'' to the proposed Old Dominion Electric Cooperative's (ODEC) Wildcat Point Generating Facility, located in Cecil County, Maryland, for power generation.
Modification to one existing compressor station, Compressor Station 200 in East Whiteland Twp., Chester Co., PA, is proposed to allow for bi-directional flow along Transco's existing mainline system.
The Rock Springs Expansion Project also includes various aboveground facilities, including pig launchers, piping, and valves that would be constructed to support the pipeline system expansion and compressor station modification in Pennsylvania.
