U.S. Army Corps Grants LG&E Permit For Gas Pipeline Through Bernheim Forest
By Ryan Van Velzer
ENVIRONMENT
September 9, 2021
Louisville Gas & Electric has cleared another hurdle to constructing a natural gas pipeline that crosses through conservation lands and farms in Bullitt County on its way to serve its primary user — the makers of Jim Beam bourbon.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved
- Cut through Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest’s Cedar Grove Wildlife Corridor and several farms.
On it’s path, it would cross at least six major waterways impacting wetlands, sinkholes and habitat for more than a half-dozen threatened or endangered species
Remaining Court Challenges ❤
On the permit side of things, Bernheim is challenging LG&E’s stream construction and water quality certification from the Kentucky’s Energy and Environment Cabinet. Bernheim is also challenging permissions from state utility reports arguing the Public Service Commission acted unlawfully in approving the pipeline project.
In court, Bernheim is fighting LG&E’s condemnation efforts with cases in Bullitt Circuit Court and the Kentucky Court of Appeals, Berry said.
LG&E also has to sue two other parties to condemn the lands on the Cedar Grove Wildlife Corridor. That’s because Bernheim bought the conservation lands with funds from both the U.S. Fish and Wildlife’s Imperiled Bat Conservation Fund and the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund. Those funds came with a conservation easement that limits how Bernheim can use the land (i.e., not for gas pipelines).
Not only is LG&E having to sue Bernheim, but it also has to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife case is currently on hold in federal court pending other rulings. Meanwhile, attorneys with the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund have argued the case should be dismissed because LG&E doesn’t have the right to condemn the conservation lands, Berry said.
