  • Public meeting on pipeline / loading terminal next Tuesday

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.
