Posted on Dec 14, 2006 in Environmental, Federal Regulation, Pipelines | Comments Off on FERC Releases Environmental Assessment for Modified Calypso Pipeline Proposal
Calypso U.S. Pipeline LLC’s plan to modify its original pipeline proposal would have limited environmental impacts, according to an environmental assessment released Tuesday by FERC. Under the new proposal, Calypso would build a 3.2 mile tunnel to minimize the project’s potential impact on sensitive marine resources off Florida’s coast. The company would also enlarge the pipeline’s diameter from 24 inches to 30 inches to accommodate increased flow rates. FERC’s announcement may be found in the FERC e-Library in Docket No. CP01-409.
