Local air, water, and noise impacts
You live near Smith Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, this project could affect local air quality, water resources and wetlands, vegetation and wildlife, threatened and endangered species, cultural resources, land use, environmental justice, noise, and safety. The Commission will evaluate these impacts as part of its NEPA review for the Rover–Bulger Compressor Station and Harmon Creek Meter Station Expansion Project.
Land use and landowner impacts, including eminent domain info
Rover says the project would impact about 8.38 acres at the Bulger Compressor Station, including about 8.05 acres used for temporary workspace and about 0.33 acre of open space permanently converted to gravel by extending the fence line by 50 feet. Rover provided landowners a FERC fact sheet addressing topics including the use of eminent domain, and the environmental mailing list includes affected landowners whose property may be used temporarily or who may be potential right-of-way grantors.
