Dominion said that they will not build at the Charles Station site but are actively looking for a new location and are obligated by legal agreement to inform the public when they choose a new site.


Eastern Panhandle Expansion Project

Fracked gas from Pennsylvania would be transmitted through Maryland, under the Potomac River and C & O Canal for distribution in West Virginia. The only known destination for the gas is the Rockwool Plant under construction in Ranson, WV where insulation would be manufactured. The proposed facility is directly upwind of Frederick, MD. The Federal Regulatory Commission has approved the Eastern Panhandle Expansion Project through Maryland.
