Piedmont Natural Gas to conduct flaring maintenance near Grimesland in March and April
Piedmont Natural Gas will be performing routine infrastructure maintenance in Grimesland.
The maintenance will be performed near 6081 Leary Mills Rd in Grimesland. They expect the work to occur twice throughout March and April, barring weather events that may impact the project timetable, officials say.
The following are the project dates:
- March 17 – 25
- April 4 – 11
These operations will include the use of a flare stack, a large vertical pipe, which could produce loud noises and result in a tall flame, visible to nearby neighborhoods and businesses. People in the area may also notice a whistling sound or the smell of natural gas. Flare stack operation is a controlled process that will be managed and monitored by Piedmont Natural Gas personnel in cooperation with local fire department resources.
