(08/21/2013) Antero Resources is moving forward with a major plan to built an 80-mile water pipeline to service its Marcellus drilling operations in Ritchie and Tyler County. The cost of the project is $524 million. The report says the pipeline would draw water from the Ohio River and run across Pleasants County, delivering about 4.8 million gallons of water a day. Antero already has acquired rights from property owners to install the line and is seeking a permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers. The company says the line will reduce the company's water handling costs while providing a reliable water supply. Millions of gallons of water are drawn from streams and impoundments for each drilling operation. The company says the water line will reduce truck traffic.
