Feds tour Harford County for possible pipeline location

Published



Federal regulators Tuesday toured the proposed path of a natural gas pipeline through Harford, tracing its route past houses, schools and parks that neighbors fear could be endangered by its construction. Leading a procession of neighbors and concerned residents through the Fallston area, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission representatives walked along tree lines, fields and power line rights of way, where the 30-inch buried pipeline would carry gas from a proposed plant in Sparrow’s Point to pipelines in Pennsylvania.

FERC officials showed on a map where the 50-foot-wide lane for the pipe would pass about 800 feet from Fallston Middle School; where it would cross through woods and streams behind houses; and where it would follow power lines between the houses in a subdivision.
