Purpose and Request:
recommended action

This proposal calls for the following:

* Oil Pipeline: Installation of a 6-inch diameter pipeline along the same route and timeline as the natural gas pipeline.
* Water Pipeline: Seeking approval for an up to 8-inch diameter pipeline for fresh and produced water, to be installed later depending on infrastructure needs. This pipeline will support hydraulic fracturing and water disposal, reducing truck traffic and associated costs.
The proposed project will impact 49.26 acres during construction, with minimal operational impacts and no changes to existing zoning.
