Pipeline Project Asks Public for Environmental Input
Published Date: 6/24/2026
Notice
Summary
Rockies Express Pipeline and partners want to build and change parts of a big energy project in several Colorado counties. The government is asking people to share their thoughts on how this might affect the environment before making a final decision. If you live nearby or care about nature, now’s the time to speak up by July 17, 2026!
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Landowners: Easement and Eminent Domain Risk
If you own land in Weld, Adams, Arapahoe, Elbert, or El Paso counties, Colorado, the pipeline company may contact you to negotiate an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the facilities. You do not have to sign an agreement, but if the Commission approves the project the Natural Gas Act gives the company the right of eminent domain and it could initiate condemnation proceedings in court; compensation would be determined by a judge under state law.
Project Will Disturb 2,268 Acres of Land
Construction of the amended project would disturb about 2,268 acres of land and the Applicants would maintain about 1,068 acres for permanent operation. The amendment adds a net 20.4 acres to construction land needs and 69.8% of the route parallels existing rights-of-way in the listed Colorado counties.
Public Comment Deadline: July 17, 2026
You can tell FERC about environmental effects, alternatives, and ways to reduce harm by submitting comments that the Commission will consider. Comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 17, 2026, and can be filed using eComment, eFiling, or by mail referencing Docket No. CP25-539-000 or -001.
