A subsidiary of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners is facing resistance from Michigan residents living along the proposed route of a pipeline connecting hubs in Ohio and Ontario, Canada.
The Flint Journal reports ET Rover Pipeline LLC might need to seek a court order to survey land since many residents of Genesee County are refusing to allow crews on their property.
An Atlas Township woman called the county sheriff’s department Monday when she said a survey crew came onto her property without permission. She says the ET Rover pipeline would complicate plans to build a home on the vacant lot she and her husband recently purchased.
Survey crews called police Monday after they were confronted by a Mundy Township man with a shotgun who was upset they were on his neighbor’s land without her permission.
The $4.3 billion pipeline project was originally planned to go through Oakland County but has since shifted to Genesee County.
