Published 10:12 pm Friday, December 19, 2014

VALDOSTA — Residents wanting to file comments with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission about the Sabal Trail pipeline have until Dec. 24 to do so.

FERC has been reviewing information from the public about the area that the proposed pipeline would go into, and complaints from

locals about the impact the pipeline could have on their area.

The docket to review and file comments with FERC is CP15-17.

Previously, FERC had Sabal Trail in the pre-filing process, under docket PF14-1. The pre-filing process ran from Oct. 16, 2013 to Nov. 21, 2014.

In both dockets, comments from Sabal Trail, citizens, and governments from Valdosta, Lowndes County, Dougherty County and Colquitt County, among others can be found, with commenters discussing the impact of the pipeline on the area.

The Times attempted to contact FERC secretary Kimberly Bose about the deadline Friday but was unable to do so.
