Published Date: 1/2/2026
Notice
Summary
Columbia Gas Transmission wants to build two new storage wells and some pipeline lines in Medina County, Ohio, to make their gas storage work better. This $14 million project won’t change the size of the storage field but will help them use more of it efficiently. If you’re interested, you have until a set deadline to speak up or protest before the project moves forward.

New Storage Wells Planned in Medina County
Columbia Gas Transmission proposes to construct two new injection/withdrawal storage wells (wells 12651 and 12652), two associated storage field lines, and appurtenant facilities in the Medina Storage Field in Medina County, Ohio. The project is estimated to cost approximately $14 million, will allow use of a larger area of the storage reservoir and improve operational efficiencies, and will not change the certificated physical parameters of the storage field.
