A public open house was held recently at the Dillon High School library about Dominion’s Transco to Charleston project.
This is the line that will serve Wyman-Gordon.
The purpose of the open house was to explain and answer questions about the project and the environmental review process.
Dominion Carolina Gas Transmission, LLC (DCG) has announced its intention to construct and operate 55 miles of new 12-inch diameter natural gas pipeline (Moore to Chappells Pipeline) and 5 miles of 4-inch diameter natural gas pipeline (Dillon Pipeline), along with mainline valves and pig launcher/receiver sites.  
The Transco to Charleston Project (Project) would also include a new measurement station at the terminus of the Dillon Pipeline, upgrades to the Moore Compressor Station (CS), a new compressor station (Dorchester CS) about two miles northeast of St. George, South Carolina, and upgrades to the Charleston Town Border Station.  
The Dorchester CS would be equipped with three 1,050 hp centrifugal turbine-drive compressor units relocated from DCG’s Southern CS in Aiken County, South Carolina.
According to a fact sheet presented at the meeting, the following is the pertinent information:
Dominion Carolina Gas Transmission proposes to construct and/or modify and operate the Transco to Charleston Project, consisting of the following facilities:
-Moore to Chappells Pipeline
-Dillon Pipeline
-Moore Compressor Station
-Dorchester Compressor Station
-Southern Compressor Station
-Charleston Town Border Station
The purpose of the project is to help meet the growing need for cleaner, reliable, domestic natural gas in the region.  The component projects, shown on the adjacent map, are summarized under the Proposed Project Facilities caption to the right.
Dominion Carolina Gas Transmission is an interstate natural gas transportation company that delivers natural gas to wholesale and direct industrial customers throughout South Carolina, operating approximately 1,500 miles of transmission pipeline in South Carolina and Georgia.
These steel lines are between 2 and 24 inches in diameter and operate at pressures up to 1200psi to transport natural gas from other pipelines to local utility companies and major industrial facilities.  Dominion Carolina Gas Transmission is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
