Hays might join ESA-centered lawsuit against Kinder Morgan

On Tuesday, Jan. 28, the Hays County Commissioners will consider joining as a plaintiff in a lawsuit against U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and Kinder Morgan for violation of the Endangered Species Act. 

“Hays County takes this matter seriously and intends to address it formally on the Court’s January 28th agenda,” said Commissioner Walt Smith, who sent out a press release about the action. 

In late 2018, Central Texans learned that Kinder Morgan’s (#KMI) plans to build a 42-inch, high- pressured natural gas pipeline from West Texas to the Houston area would include transporting the toxic and flammable substance through some of the most ecologically sensitive features in Central Texas and the Hill Country.
