New Special Permit Segment in Tennessee
If you live near the Columbia Gulf pipeline in Tennessee, the company has asked PHMSA to add a new 7,900-foot (about 1.496 miles) segment to an existing special permit (Docket PHMSA-2008-0066). The special permit allows deviations from parts of 49 CFR (192.611(a), 192.611(d), and 192.619(a)) where a pipeline location changed from Class 2 to Class 3; PHMSA says the expansion would not result in significant environmental impacts and will consider public comments submitted by October 27, 2025 before deciding.
