Public comment period closing for proposed 208-mile Miss. gas pipeline
According to Mississippi Today, residents have until Tuesday, August 5 to intervene in Kinder Morgan's proposed 208-mile-long gas pipeline that would span most of the state.
Kinder Morgan aims to begin construction by the end of 2027 pending project approvals, with the pipeline to begin service starting in late 2028, according to the company's website.
Kinder Morgan subsidiary Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. (TGP) previously applied for FERC approval in June. The planned pipeline expansion, called the Mississippi Crossing Project, is valued at $1.7 billion, and would transport up to 2.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas, meeting rising energy demand in the region with increased capacity.

Members of the public can visit FERC's website to submit a comment, protest, or file a motion to intervene before 4 p.m. on Aug 5, Mississippi Today reported.
In addition to FERC, the proposal will also face review from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service and the state environmental agencies in Mississippi and Alabama.
