\r\nAccording to PHMSA’s NPMS Public Map Viewer,\r\nthe pipeline operator is SOUTHERN NATURAL GAS CO (18516).\r\n

\r\nBerrien County Sheriff, GDOT, city of Nashville, Kinder Morgan trucks; Lowndes County Sheriff deputies were also at the county line stopping traffic going into Berrien County.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nThe same pipeline runs through the Georgia Sheriffs’ Boys Ranch on GA 122,\r\nand then another mile or so south to the valves, which are on my property on Quarterman Road in Lowndes County.\r\n

\r\n\r\n\"300x225<\/a>\r\nThis is only about a 9-inch pipe at 800PSI.\r\nSabal Trail Transmission wants to put in a 36-inch pipeline (about 16 times the volume) at about twice the pressure (so about 32 times total)\r\nnear the SONAT main line you can see running\r\nthrough southwest Lowndes County in this map.\r\nIf even this SONAT pipeline had gotten ignited during the break,\r\nit would have made quite an explosion.\r\nIf that Sabal Trail pipeline got hit by a road scrape….\r\n
