Surprisingly, Sabal Trail has gone way past their deadline for completion of all phases of its pipeline.

The original deadline for Phase II Compressor Stations at Albany and Dunnellon was Feb. 2, 2018, but was extended to May 1, 2020.  As John Quarterman writes below, Sabal Trail’s request to FERC to extend that deadline again was met with a public comment opportunity, ending April 13.

Now is our chance for one last whack at Sabal Trail, which has imposed a threat and risk of spills, explosions and contamination of our rivers and ground water, and at the same time bullied its way into delaying our inevitable shift from dirty fossil fuels to sustainable energy.

Sabal Trail is not necessary and has already had its problems.  OSFR  worked hard in the opposition fight.

Please note the link in the article to the comment site.  Also you may view the document filed by WWALS as an intervenor in another link.

Please note when  you go to the FERC comment page, go to ecomment on the menu on the left.  You must fill out this page, submit, and they will send you an email with a link.  On this page the docket number is CP-15-17-000.  After you enter this, you must click on the far right where it says “select.”

Please write and tell them what is wrong with this pipeline going through our Springs Heartland, and ask FERC to shut them down.

Thanks to John Quarterman, Suwannee RiverKeeper, for alerting us to this opportunity.
