Monday, January 14, 2019 by Sara Welch

Last month the $86 million Risberg Line project received approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, according to the Star Beacon.

The project is a 28-mile natural gas pipeline addition to an existing 32-mile pipeline in Pennsylvania. The addition will go from Meadville, Pennsylvania up through northwest Ashtabula County. About 16 miles of pipeline will be added in Pennsylvania and 12 miles will be added in Ohio.

The project is expected to increase job opportunities and tax revenue for the surrounding areas.

Shale FAQ

What are mineral rights?

Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.

Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?

Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
