A petition has been filed with the Illinois Commerce Commission for Christian County to intervene in the Navigator Heartland Greenway LLC pipeline and Carbon Dioxide Transportation and Sequestration Act or CO2 Act. 

In the petition, Christian County, represented by Joseph Murray of Meyer Capel, Attorneys at Law, states that as the ones most impacted, they want the Commission to consider evidence of the proposed pipeline’s impact on the economy, infrastructure, and public safety presented by local government units that will be affected by the proposed pipeline route. 

The pipeline is set to run through Northern Christian County and could potentially cross many roads and other buildings. There is currently a moratorium on the pipeline being built as both Christian County and Navigator argue their cases for and against building the pipeline. 

The pipeline in its entirety would run through Adams, Brown, Christian, Fulton, Hancock, Henry, Knox, Christian, Morgan, Pike, Sangamon, Schuyler, and Scott Counties.  To view the filed petition, click here.
