Kinder Morgan downplayed the impact of a decision by Hays County Commissioners to rescind permission to cross county roads. That decision was made in the wake of a construction accident March 28 that sent tens
of thousands of gallons of drilling mud and drilling fluid into the Trinity Aquifer.
More than a month later, work remains stalled at that site in Blanco County near Chimney Rock Road.
Kinder Morgan spokesman Allen Fore told the Hays Free Press that the commissioners’ decision will have little impact because the project only crosses five Hays County roads and two crossings in eastern areas of the county have already been completed.
