More aptly named an environmental injustice project
Virginia Natural Gas (VNG) Header Improvement Project
The Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) has extended the comment period for the proposed Header Improvement Project (HIP), a proposal by Virginia Natural Gas for a pipeline expansion to serve a new power plant in Charles City, VA. The SCC held a May 12 webcasts hearing and has indicated an additional hearing will be scheduled, but no date has been set. More than 700 comments on the proposal have been filed so far with the SCC.
A virtual comment-writing party, organized by organizations opposing the HIP, will be held on Thursday, May 28 from 6 – 7 pm.

The Header Injustice Project: Virginia’s Latest Fracked Gas Threat
From the Chesapeake Climate Action Network
Virginia Natural Gas (VNG) calls it their “Header Improvement Project” — a horribly misleading misnomer. CCAN calls it the “Header Injustice Project,” and it’s the next big pipeline fight in Virginia. The proposal is for three new gas pipelines, totaling 24 miles, and three new or expanded gas compressor stations from Northern Virginia, through the middle of the state, and to the shore in Hampton Roads.
VNG wants this network of fracked gas infrastructure to be up & running by the end of 2022. CCAN and other members of the Stop the Abuse of Virginian Energy (SAVE) Coalition are fighting at each deadline to stop VNG from poisoning Virginians. Read on to learn how the Header Injustice Project would harm the health of your community and how you can stop it with us.
Charles City County is on the James River a few miles southeast of Richmond
§ Transco Interconnect Pipeline: 6.2 miles of steel pipeline connecting VNG’s existing Quantico pipeline with the Transco pipeline, cutting through Fauquier and Prince William counties (all pipelines will be 30 inches in diameter)
§ Quantico Parallel Pipeline: 3.3 miles of pipeline running parallel to VNG’s existing Quantico pipeline in Fauquier County
§ Mechanicsville Parallel Pipeline: 14.6 miles of pipeline running parallel to VNG’s existing Lateral Pipeline in Hanover, New Kent, and Charles City counties
§ Transco Interconnect Compressor Station: new compressor station in Prince William County
§ Ladysmith Compressor Station Expansion: expanding the footprint of the existing Ladysmith Compressor Station in Caroline County
§ Gidley Compressor Station: new compressor station in the existing Gidley Gate Metering/Regulation Station in the City of Chesapeake
