===================================

I don't know if it would, or wouldn't threaten neighbors but I believe the frustrations
in dealing with the LNG pipeline plans and obtaining information concerning it are going to be very similar to the frustrations neighbors have been going through for seven years with the Hagg Lake plan.

They can be a bit "threatening" when they explode. 8-)  Not that such a thing happens often...but I think I read about it once.

We have had pipelines go through our farm in Illinois. First they want to do it for "nothing". That takes some time and negotiation.

Then they come in and dig their trench, (which takes a much wider piece of ground than one would guess, put in the pipe, and then the dirt, somehow managing to get the best dirt on the bottom of the trench, and the clay on the top. This causes some problem with the crops from then on, "forever".

I'm also sure I've heard my brother speak of the limitations of what can be built where. For example, neighbors had a large store on land that had a pipe line going through the lot. They needed to expand but could not because they could not build on top of the pipe line. They had to buy new land, build an entirely new building, and then had a time getting rid of the old one.

The last line that went "through" the farm was arranged to go along the fence line rather than through the middle of the field. But it took Bruce years, literally, of standing his ground before he could convince them that he was very serious about not wanting it in the fields.

I'll be interested in hearing reports.
