How was the route for the proposed pipeline determined?
Construction, environmental and landowner considerations are at the forefront of the routing process. Where possible, the route has been selected to avoid public impacts while minimizing environmental issues, such as the number and location of water body crossings, scenic waterways, byways, wilderness, national parks and monuments. Where possible, the proposed route will run parallel to existing pipeline and power line corridors. Pacific Connector has also met and consulted with federal, state and local agencies and Native American Tribe representatives to help select a route that avoids or minimizes environmental and cultural resource concerns in southwest Oregon.
