There will be a public meeting, hosted by the Bureau of
Land Management, at Juab High School next Tuesday, March 27,
at 7 p.m.
The meeting will be held to take comment concerning the
environmental impact the Williams Pipeline Project may have
on the area.
A terminal, consisting of tanks and loading racks for
trucks, is planed for construction near Interstate highways
in Nephi. Construction on the site is planned for 2002.
"The proposal is to convert an existing 220-mile 10- and
12-inch diameter natural gas liquids pipeline that extends
from Bloomfield, New Mexico, to the vicinity of Crescent
Junction," said Wm. Boyd Howarth, commission chair.
"A new section of 12-inch diameter pipeline would be
constructed from Crescent Junction to the vicinity of North
Salt Lake City," he said. "At Nephi, the location they are
proposing for the terminal will be south of the new public
safety building."
The location would provide the trucks traveling to and
from the facility to access SR 28 for a short distance, less
than one mile, directly to the Interstate 15 off and on
ramps in south Nephi.
All interested persons should attend this meeting.
