Published Date: 9/16/2025
Notice
Summary
TTC Connector, LLC wants to build new energy facilities in Colorado and Wharton Counties, Texas, and the government is asking the public to share their thoughts on how this might affect the environment. People have until October 10, 2025, to send in comments that will help shape the environmental review. This project could impact local communities and the environment, and the feedback will guide important decisions about its future.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Landowners: Easements and Eminent Domain Risk
If you are a landowner, the pipeline company may contact you to negotiate an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the project. You are not required to sign, but if FERC approves the project the company could start condemnation (eminent domain) proceedings and a judge would determine compensation under state law.
Construction Will Disturb and Permanently Use Land
Construction of the project would disturb about 167 acres of land and the company would permanently maintain about 90 acres for operation. Landowners and nearby residents in Texas could see temporary construction impacts and permanent land-use changes.
Potential Air Quality and Noise Impacts Nearby
The project includes a compressor station (two units, each 5,500 hp) and pipeline operations; FERC will evaluate air quality and noise effects. People living near the project in Texas could be affected by increased noise and air emissions during construction and operation.
Public Can Submit Comments by Oct 10, 2025
You can submit written comments to FERC about environmental issues, reasonable alternatives, and ways to lessen impacts; comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 10, 2025. FERC offers eComment, eFiling, mail options, and assistance from its Office of Public Participation.
Historic Properties: Section 106 Consultation Started
FERC is starting consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and is asking State Historic Preservation Offices, Indian tribes, and other interested parties to provide views on potential effects to historic properties.
