Open houses set for proposed pipeline
By Vickie Welborn • vwelborn@gannett.com • April 16, 2009
MANSFIELD — The public will have a chance in the coming weeks to view the route of a proposed natural gas pipeline and learn about the construction and operation during a series of open houses set in Louisiana and Texas.
The Tiger Pipeline Co., LLC, a subsidiary of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, LP, will build a 180-mile, 42-inch pipeline to provide natural gas services from the east Texas-Carthage hub area and the Haynesville Shale play in east Texas and northwestern Louisiana to markets throughout the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast United States.
The pipeline is expected to be in service by mid-2011. It will enter Louisiana in north DeSoto Parish, go along the north edge of Red River Parish and then slice through Bienville and Jackson parishes before moving along the southern end of Ouachita Parish and ending in Richland Parish.
The open houses are scheduled for the following dates and locations:
Mansfield: 7-9 p.m. Monday at the DeSoto Chamber of Commerce, 115 N. Washington Ave.
Carthage, Texas: 7-9 p.m., April 21, Texas Country Music Hall of Fame, 300 N. Panola.
Rayville: 7-9 p.m. April 27, Rayville Civic Center, 827 Louisa St.
Jonesboro: 7-9 p.m. April 28, Jackson Parish Community Center, 182 Industrial Drive.
Attendees will have the opportunity to register with Tiger Pipeline to receive project updates. For more information on the Tiger Pipeline, visit www.tigerpipeline.com.

I'd say add it so it doesn't disappear with the topic. The topic title isn't very specific about location, company, etc. Some that don't check the site regularly might miss it.
Thanks for your help, best - sesport :0)

Work under way for another large pipeline
By Vickie Welborn • vwelborn@gannett.com • April 21, 2009
MANSFIELD — Right of way acquisitions are under way for yet another large diameter pipeline that will cross seven north Louisiana parishes.
Getting permission to cross parcels of property spread from the Texas-Louisiana border eastward to Delhi will take up to a year or more with an estimated 300-plus separate tracts of land involved. But the initial groundwork may have been laid in that the pipeline's owners, ETC Tiger Pipeline Company LLC, will almost mirror the route taken by a previous pipeline company.
"It will be about 40 to 60 feet north of the CenterPoint line. It may vary some depending on the physical features of the land," said Joey Mahmoud, vice president of regulated projects for Energy Transfer Partners.
About 60 feet of permanent easement will be needed for the pipeline, in addition to land to accommodate four compressor station sites — one each in Carthage, Red River, Bienville and Jackson parishes, said Tim Meyers, right of way representative.
Mahmoud, Meyers and more than two dozen other company representatives were armed with displays, maps and handouts at the first of four informational meetings held Monday night in Mansfield. Company officials outnumbered citizens who showed up to get a glimpse of the proposed project.
Additional meetings will be held today in Carthage, Texas, Monday in Rayville and April 28 in Jonesboro.
The 42-inch Tiger Pipeline will extend 180 miles from Panola County and end at the Perrryville Hub in Richland Parish, crossing the southern sliver of Caddo Parish, jutting across north DeSoto Parish north of Kickapoo and sliding into extreme north Red River Parish before slicing through the hearts of Bienville and Jackson parishes. It takes the southern end of Ouachita and Richland parishes and ending at Delhi.
The route means no displacement of residences and minimal disruption to additional properties not already impacted in 2006-2007 when CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company stretched a 42-inch pipeline and created the footprint for the Tiger Pipeline to follow. The CenterPoint line — and another 42-inch line built in 2007 by Gulf States Pipeline Company — move gas from the Barnett Shale in central Texas.
