Kentucky Compressor Swap: Tell Us Your Eco Worries
Published Date: 9/17/2025
Notice
Summary
Texas Eastern Transmission wants to replace a compressor station in Lincoln County, Kentucky, and the government is asking the public for their thoughts on how this might affect the environment. People have until October 14, 2025, to share their ideas, which will help decide if the project moves forward. This could mean changes to local energy infrastructure and possibly some construction work soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Landowners May Face Eminent Domain
If you own land near the Danville Compressor Station in Lincoln County, Kentucky, the pipeline company may contact you to negotiate an easement. If you and the company do not agree, the company could initiate condemnation (eminent domain) proceedings and a judge would determine compensation under Kentucky state law.
Up to 40 Acres Needed; 8 Acres Permanent
Construction for the Danville Compressor Station Replacement would use up to 40 acres of land, including about 31.2 acres inside the existing fenced boundaries and about 8.0 acres of new workspace adjacent to the station. After construction, the 8.0 acres of workspace would be added to the permanent fenced compressor station footprint.
Project Could Affect Local Environment
FERC will evaluate possible environmental effects of the project on geology and soils; water resources and wetlands; vegetation and wildlife; threatened and endangered species; cultural resources; land use; air quality and noise; and reliability and safety in Lincoln County, Kentucky.
Public Must Submit Comments by Oct 14, 2025
The public may submit comments on the scope of environmental issues for this project; comments must be received in Washington, DC by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 14, 2025, and can be filed via FERC's eComment, eFiling, or by mail referencing Docket No. CP25-530-000.
