PRELIMINARY PIPELINE WORK TO BEGIN IN NOVEMBER

Beginning Novenber 1st preliminary work will begin on the ATEX Express (cross country) Pipeline through eastern and south central Licking County. This 20-inch pipeline will transport liquid natural gas from the well fields in the eastern U.S. to chemical plant users in the Midwest and southern states. Licking County Engineer Bill Lozier and his staff will represent the six affected Licking County Townships during the construction beginning in April of 2013, and lasting about a year. The local section of the pipeline will be drilled under some 24 road crossings. The Houston based Enterprise Products Company is working with landowners to obtain the necessary construction and permanent easements.
