Sanford Bishop would like to hear from you about the Sabal Trail pipeline

The proposed Sabal Trail methane pipeline is number 1 on the topic rotation on Rep. Sanford Bishop’s Congressional (GA-02) website:

Sabal Trail Pipeline

We would like to hear from you about the proposed Sabal Trail Transmission Gas Pipeline project.

The links lead to a page that says:

The proposed Sabal Trail Transmission Gas Pipeline project would transport up to a billion cubic feet of natural gas each day through about 24 miles of Dougherty County on its 465-mile route from central Alabama to central Florida. The natural gas carried by the pipeline is intended to provide electricity for a large portion of the state of Florida.

You can voice your opinion about the proposed pipeline by mail, telephone or electronically:

EMAIL:

PHONE:

That contact information is all for contacting FERC. While no doubt Rep. Bishop himself is most interested in hearing from constituents, it doesn’t say just constituents, nor was his listening session in Albany limited to just constituents.

Congressman Bishop’s own own contact page does say he is only able to reply to e-mails from constituents.

Here’s how to find your own representative. And here are links to contact information for every Congress and statehouse member and county commission and city council of county seats of counties in all three states (Alabama, Georgia, and Florida) along the proposed pipeline path.

Subject: Sabal Trail Transmission
Gas Pipeline Proposed Project

The session is being held to allow citizens to provide feedback and share concerns with the Congressman on the proposed Sabal Trail Transmission Gas Pipeline Project. This is a very significant concern for a variety of reasons, among them public safety, environmental and economic impact.

Congressman Bishop’s district covers most of the path of the proposed pipeline, making him a key ally in Congress to oppose the pipeline, if he can be convinced to do so. Continue reading A Listening Session with Congressman Sanford Bishop
