41.3‑Mile Pipeline May Affect Local Safety

Eleven landowners commented that the Project raises water quality, pipeline leak, community health and safety, and natural resource impact concerns; the EA will address those issues.
EA Issued June 22; 30‑day Comment Window
FERC will issue an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Pulaski Project on June 22, 2026. The EA will be released for a 30-day public comment period, so you can review and submit comments during that window.
