What’s going on at the end of Sabal Trail’s Citrus County Line
at Duke’s new natural gas plant in Crystal River, Florida?
The End of Line is the square in the upper left of the picture.
But what’s all that equipment just east across the access road at
14001 West Power Line Street, Crystal River, FL, 28.963298, -82.667413?
According to the Citrus County Property Appraiser,
that other property is one small corner of a huge tract owned by
HCR LIMESTONE INC,
ATTN HOLCIM TAX DEPARTMENT,
201 JONES RD,
WALTHAM MA 02451.
Meanwhile, there’s no activity at
the official location of Strom Inc.’s
Crystal River LNG export operation, at
6700 N Tallahassee Rd, Crystal River, FL 34428.
Strom’s 2014-10-21 LNG export approval from the U.S. DoE Office of Fossil Energy (FE) says:
“According to Strom, the Project will be constructed on a property
site approximately 15 acres in size. Strom states that it is
engaging in a purchase agreement to acquire the property, and
possibly to acquire neighboring properties.”
The
1600 N. Tallahassee Road location is about 15 acres,
but so is that plot just across from the Citrus County End of Line,
which could be considered “neighboring”.
Also, until I saw
the aerial below across Duke’s plants down the two canals to the Gulf,
I had not realized how convenient that would be for an LNG export operation like
Strom.
Below are some aerial pictures taken by
Mark Skogman on a Southwings flight piloted by Roy Zimmer of Southwings
for WWALS.
Also on the flight and sending back other pictures were navigator
Andrea Rea and Jim Tatum.
And there’s a Google map showing the locations.

All the photographers just missed getting a picture of the Strom, Inc. site
(it happens).
Here’s a map of where Strom is located a bit west of US-19,
along W. Power Line Road, which continues down to the location
of Duke’s new natural gas plant and then Duke’s nuke and coal plant,
according to the Citrus County Property Appraiser:
Duke nuke and gas plant down Power Line Road from Strom location (the blue box).
