Summary
Double E Pipeline wants to build a new compressor station in Loving County, Texas, and the government is asking the public for their thoughts on how this might affect the environment. If you live nearby or care about the area, now’s the time to speak up before November 27, 2026. This project could change the local landscape and impact landowners, so your input helps shape the final decision!
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Landowners face potential eminent domain
If you own land near the proposed compressor station, the company may ask you to sign an easement but you are not required to agree. If the project is approved, the Natural Gas Act gives the company the right to seek condemnation in court (eminent domain) if negotiations fail, and a judge would determine compensation under state law.
Construction will permanently use and disturb acreage
Construction of the proposed facilities would disturb about 17.87 acres of land, and Double E would maintain about 15.80 acres for permanent operation while the rest would be restored after construction.
Environmental review will consider air, noise, and land impacts
Under the National Environmental Policy Act review, FERC staff will evaluate impacts from the proposed project on geology and soils; vegetation and wildlife; threatened and endangered species; cultural resources; socioeconomics; land use; air quality and noise; and reliability and safety, and will consider reasonable alternatives and measures to avoid or lessen impacts.
You can comment by November 27, 2026
The Commission is accepting public comments on the environmental scope and must receive them by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 27, 2026. You may submit comments via the FERC website using eComment or eFiling, or by mailing a paper copy addressed to the Commission with docket number CP27-3-000.
