The big topic of discussion surrounding Navigator and Heartland Greenway’s proposed CO2 Carbon Capture and Storage project is the Christian County aquifer. 

Heartland Greenway says that their scientists paneled thousands of different pipelines, water, gas, and otherwise, built beneath and through the aquifer. 

Mark Roth is the Chair of the Christian County Soil and Water Conservation District and Commissioner on the Clear Creek Special Drainage District. He says Heartland Greenway’s claim of “thousands” of pipelines is likely overblown. 

Karen Brocklesby is a farm wife and a landowner in the proposed storage site. She says she’s worried about what could happen if the pipeline leaked. 

Roth is concerned about farmland. 

While Navigator proposes this project as an environmental fix-all, Brocklesby wants you to look at the environmental groups opposing this project. 

Brocklesby and Roth appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
