Already under the Withlacoochee River in Georgia there’s been
a frac-out and
a sinkhole at a drilling site, upstream from the Suwannee River in Florida, under which
FDEP told us it couldn’t happen:
“ Well, the Suwannee River crossing doesn’t, in fact, have any impacts to an outstanding Florida water….”
“Well, any work within, or could have adverse effects on OFW,
is considered.
In this case, we determine that there would be no impacts to the
OFW.”
Apparently not only FDEP’s sole witness Lisa Prather believed Sabal Trail;
according to
a video yesterday by Cody Suggs at the Suwannee River,
Sabal Trail’s own workers seem to believe their company’s propaganda.
Much more about WWALS v Sabal Trail & FDEP is on the WWALS website, including videos and transcripts
of the landowners who also tried to warn FDEP that sinkholes happen like
they already have including under at least two public roads in Suwannee County, Florida.
And more about what already happened is on the WWALS website,
plus
things you can do to stop this $3 billion dollar fracked methane boondoggle.
For example, you may want to ask the permitting agencies some of the questions WWALS asked, including this one:
Which of FERC, FDEP, GA-EPD, USACE, SRWMD are working to protect the health, welfare and
safety of the communities surrounding this pipeline and how are they doing that?
Given that I asked them for a prompt answer and two weeks later have gotten no answer at all, it sure looks like we the people will have to
find and report violations
and use other methods to stop this pipeline.
The transcript questions quoted below are Continue reading →
It seems to me that investing in a highly risky pipeline company such as
Spectra Energy would be “contrary to [VA529’s] overall investment goals and mission”, at least if those goals include reliable investments for college,
and not stranded investments.
