Analyzed Economic Effects

EA to Analyze Ecosystem and Farming Impacts
The EA will address environmental issues raised by the U.S. EPA and landowners, including water quality, dredge and fill impacts, biological resources, air quality, hazardous materials, Tribal coordination, and the National Historic Preservation Act. Landowners specifically raised potential effects on ecosystems, water resources, vegetation, migratory birds and waterfowl, threatened and endangered species, farming operations, crop growth, and soil compaction; those issues will be examined in the EA.
Landowners Question Eminent Domain Use
Commenters questioned whether public necessity for the Project has been demonstrated and questioned the validity of using eminent domain for private financial gain; the EA will address all substantive comments. This concern was raised by potentially affected landowners in the docket.
EA Issued Jan 16, 2026
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will issue an environmental assessment (EA) for the TTC Connector Project on January 16, 2026. The EA will be posted for a 30-day public comment period, so landowners, Tribal members, and community groups can submit comments during that window.
