Critics might have another chance to speak out and possibly thwart progress on the petroleum pipeline a Texas company intends to run through parts of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
Kinder Morgan is seeking permission from South Carolina regulators to build eight new petroleum product storage tanks, along with piping and pumps, in Belton, S.C., as part of its Palmetto Pipeline project. The location would be next to existing company terminals. Bolton is also the Anderson County community where more than 300,000 gallons of gasoline escaped from Kinder Morgan’s existing pipe in 2014.
On Feb. 26, the state Department of Health and Environmental Control’s Bureau of Air Quality received the company’s new air construction permit application. At issue is potential air pollution from the proposed facility.
