Forza Pipeline LLC, Bull Run Pipeline LLC; Notice of Scoping Period Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed Forza Pipeline Project
Published Date: 2/2/2026
Notice
Summary
Forza Pipeline LLC and Bull Run Pipeline LLC want to build a new pipeline in parts of New Mexico and Texas. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is asking the public to share their thoughts on how this project might affect the environment before making a decision. If you care about local land, water, or wildlife, now’s the time to speak up—comments are due by February 27, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Landowners: Easement Negotiation and Eminent Domain
If you are a landowner in New Mexico or Texas, a pipeline company may contact you to negotiate an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the Forza Pipeline Project, but you are not required to agree. If FERC approves the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent domain to the company, and if a court condemnation occurs, compensation would be determined by a judge under state law.
Permanent Land Use and Construction Footprint
The project would install a 35.94-mile, 36-inch-diameter pipeline and associated facilities and would disturb about 738.6 acres of land during construction; about 473.2 acres would be maintained for permanent operation while the rest would be restored. These changes could reduce available land for prior uses on affected properties.
Public Scoping: Comment Deadline Feb 27, 2026
You can submit written comments about environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and ways to reduce impacts so FERC considers them in its NEPA review; submit comments so FERC receives them by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 27, 2026. Comments may be filed via FERC eComment, eFiling (create an eRegister account), or by mail referencing Docket No. CP26-34-000 and CP26-35-000.
Historic Preservation Consultation for Tribes
FERC is initiating consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act with the applicable State Historic Preservation Office(s) and is soliciting views of interested Indian tribes, government agencies, and the public about potential effects on historic properties; findings will be documented in the environmental document.
