Docket No. CP15-17-000
Docket No. CP14-16-000
Docket No. CP14-554-000Dear Secretary Bose:
We wish to point out a special feature that would justify FERC to deny use of the preferred route. Please accept this as formal expression of our concern for the City’s water supply. The close proximity of Sabal Trail’s preferred route to City’s well field is a risk to the citizens of Albany and Dougherty County. To deny the preferred route is the only way to protect the City’s water supply. We know of no detriment to Sabal Trail to use another route. Rather, use of another route would off-set harm to the City’ s water supply. In the end, the balance of interests clearly favors denying Sabal Trail’s preferred route. With respect, we feel it would be a misguided decision if Sabal Trail is allowed to use its preferred route.
