The energy companies planning to build a 550 mile-long natural gas pipeline from West Virginia through Virginia and eastern North Carolina are launching a series of public meetings this week to discuss the project while hundreds of landowners along the route are refusing to grant surveyors access to their land. In September, Dominion Resources of Virginia, Duke Energy and Piedmont Natural Gas of North Carolina, and natural gas distributor AGL Resources of Atlanta announced they were forming a joint venture to build and own the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline to transport gas from the Marcellus and Utica shale basins of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
