Mississippi Compressor Swap: Tell FERC Your Eco Worries
Published Date: 12/22/2025
Notice
Summary
Texas Eastern Transmission wants to replace a compressor station in Attala County, Mississippi, and the government is asking the public for their thoughts on how this might affect the environment. If you live nearby or care about nature, now’s the time to speak up before January 15, 2026. This project could change local air and land conditions, so your input helps decide if it moves forward safely and smartly.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Eminent Domain Risk for Landowners
If you own land in Mississippi near the Kosciusko Compressor Station, the pipeline company may seek an easement to construct and operate the project. If the Commission approves the project, the Natural Gas Act gives the company the right to initiate condemnation (eminent domain) proceedings in court, and any compensation would be determined by a judge under state law.
Project May Affect Air, Water, Wildlife, Noise
FERC staff will evaluate effects on geology and soils; water resources and wetlands; vegetation and wildlife; threatened and endangered species; cultural resources; socioeconomics; land use; air quality and noise; and reliability and safety. The Commission requests written comments on these environmental issues by January 15, 2026 to help focus the review.
Construction Will Disturb 40.6 Acres
Construction for the project would disturb about 40.6 acres of land, including 36.6 acres inside the existing compressor station fenceline and 4.0 acres of temporary workspace. Nearby residents could experience land disturbance, increased noise, and changes in air quality during construction.
Temporary Workspace Will Be Restored
The project would use about 4.0 acres of temporary workspace during construction, and that temporary workspace would be restored and revert to former uses after construction. Also, operation of the project would not require new land outside the existing compressor station fenceline.
