Shell Pipeline Co. has contracted with an additional 10 local landowners to use their properties during construction of the 97-mile Falcon Ethane pipeline.
According to the Beaver County recorder of deeds, Shell Pipeline secured 10 temporary road-access agreements with landowners in the southwestern portion of the county. The company intends to use the properties during construction of the ethane pipeline, which is expected to feed up to 107,000 barrels of ethane daily into Shell’s $6 billion cracker plant in Potter Township.
The 10 listings recently filed with the county don’t include the costs, instead including a placeholder of $10 on each document. Shell Pipeline will negotiate confidentially with those landowners in the future.
Crews are expected to start construction on the pipeline in 2019, and it will be finished the following year.
The most recent easements include property at 2962 Route 30 in Greene Township, 4194 Green Garden Road in Raccoon Township, an unspecified address along Route 30 in Greene, 429 Cork Bocktown Road in Independence Township, 497 Service Creek Road in Independence, 593 Cork Bocktown Road in Independence, 217 Cowpath Road in Independence, another unspecified address along Route 30 in Greene, 103 Davis Road in Raccoon and 205 Davis Road in Raccoon.
Shell Pipeline has contracted with hundreds of landowners in Beaver, Allegheny and Washington counties as part of the easement process. The pipeline project is being reviewed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
