I am a landowner and taxpayer in close proximity to where the Sabal Trail Pipeline (Docket PF-14-1) will be put in place. I am opposed to this pipeline going in near my neighborhood. I am opposed to the pipeline on behalf of my neighbors. I think that alternate routes are available that will not impact this area in Lowndes County, Georgia.

The proposed natural gas pipeline by Sabal Trails/Spectra Energy is not in the interest of United States citizens much less the states that it crosses—Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Natural gas and fossil fuel companies are trying to force profits out of a dying industry at the expense of the communities and people’s health and livelihoods in their wake. Fossil fuels are dirty and dangerous sources of energy that FERC should not approve new projects for. We need to conserve our land and water for all people, instead of destroying them for money and profits that cannot replace diminished life.
I ask that docket # PF14-1 not be approved. Please protect the rights of the landowners affected by this pipeline route. Nobody should be forced to have a pipeline as large as 36″ with an explosion radius of 600′ on their land. There are as many as 80 explosions a year from natural gas pipelines causing injury and death to those unfortunate enough to be in the path of one. Natural gas is not a safe alternative fuel as the industry tries to paint the picture. We need focus on renewable energies that are safe for humans and the environment. Exploitation of the environment for corporate profits needs to become a thing of the past!

I am concerned on why the pipeline is only going to be buried 36″ deep? Should not this pipeline be required to be buried as deep as other pipelines in the area?

Watch out, Valdosta and Tifton! The Hillabee Georgia alternative route avoids Albany and Russell County, Alabama, by starting in Harris County, Georgia, passing through Muscogee, Talbot, Chattachoochee, Marion, Schley, Sumter, Lee, Worth, Turner, Tift, Cook, and Lowndes Counties before entering Florida in Hamilton County much like Spectra’s preferred route. This is the rest of the Option B that was first proposed to Lowndes County residents back in June.

The Florida Panhandle alternative route appears to cross several Georgia rivers by hugging the Georgia-Florida line to avoid the Apalachicola National Forest and the Lake Talquin State Forest in Florida. This looks like the route published in Florida newspapers back in June. It adds Choctaw, Clarke, Monroe, Conecuh, Covington, Coffee, Dale, Geneva, and Houston Counties in Alabama, and Jackson, Gadsden and Jefferson Counties in Florida.

They call this a “Permission Request” yet they say they intend “to enter upon your property”, citing a bunch of legal cases to try to scare you into agreeing. They also say this
But if they actually put a pipeline on your property they are taking your trees and numerous uses away from you and replacing them with a highway for trespassers and poachers and hazards.
Here’s the text of the letter from a PDF of a scanned copy forwarded by a landowner. -jsq
