Relocating storage wells to avoid floods
Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC will close four old injection/withdrawal wells and drill two new replacement wells at the Columbus City Gas Storage Field in Louisa County, Iowa. The project (plugging/abandoning laterals and appurtenances, plus new surface and subsurface connections) is estimated to cost $7,000,000 and is intended to move wells outside a flood-prone area to keep gas flowing safely and reliably for customers.
Public filing deadline and legal effects
The deadline to file protests, motions to intervene, or comments is May 9, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time; there is no fee to file. If no protest is filed within the allowed time or a protest is withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time, the proposed activity will be deemed authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest; only intervenors may request rehearing or later challenge Commission orders in court.
