The Houston Chronicle is reporting on a condemnation suit filed by Dominion Transmission to expand a West Virginia storage field. The reason - gas migration, of course. "Federal regulators approved the expansion, calling the reservoir 'a matter of public convenience and necessity,' but required Dominion to obtain rights to both the storage area and the protective areas around the reservoir. That includes easements in the Gantz sandstone, and 300 feet above and below the Gantz."
