A second round of litigation against a proposed 42-inch, 430-mile underground natural gas pipeline could be forthcoming.
On Tuesday, Hays County Commissioners voted 4-0 to file a notice of intent to sue Kinder Morgan, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service relating to the controversial Permian Highway Pipeline (PHP), according to a press release. Hays County joins the Travis Audubon Society and three private plaintiffs that have filed a similar notice. Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra was absent Tuesday and did not vote. Plaintiffs seek a full environmental study of the PHP.
Filing of the notice stemmed from the possible environmental impact the PHP could have on the area, if constructed.
