Landowners May Face Easement Condemnation
If you own land near the project, the pipeline company may contact you to negotiate an easement to construct and operate facilities. If the FERC approves the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent domain to the company, and if you and the company do not agree the company could initiate condemnation proceedings with compensation determined by a judge under state law.
Project Will Use and Keep Specific Acreage
Texas Eastern says the project would temporarily use about 127.87 acres of land for construction and would permanently maintain 20.98 acres to operate the project. The notice also states that no new easement would be required for the Project.
Local Road Closures and Public Access Issues
Commission staff identified public access and road closures as issues to study during construction and mining-related work near Graysville in Greene County, Pennsylvania. You could experience changed public access, road closures, or public safety measures while work occurs between 2027 and 2029.
Historic Properties Will Be Reviewed Under Section 106
FERC is beginning consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and will solicit views from State Historic Preservation Offices, tribes, and the public on effects to historic properties. The environmental document will document findings on impacts to historic properties and summarize consultation status.
