Public hearing on the proposal to use land in Eisenhower Park to construct a pipeline running the length of 6.9 miles for transportation of oil and gas products.
Sunoco Pipeline L.P. has requested an easement in Eisenhower Park for the construction and maintenance of a 12" pipeline to run 6.9 miles in length. The pipeline will begin south of North Lake Houston Parkway/Walton Rd. traversing south crossing HWY. 90 and terminating at its Moore Road facility. The proposed 12" pipeline will connect to an existing Sunoco pipeline between Sunoco's Moore Road facility and Nederland facility as is necessary for the transportation of oil and gas products.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Code Chapter 26 requires the City to publish three public notices and hold a public hearing before authorizing the use or taking of park land for non-park purposes. Notices will be published in the Houston Chronicle. The public hearing will be held in City Council Chambers, 901 Bagby Street, 2nd Floor, Houston, Texas. The public hearing date is Wednesday, May 19, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. virtually via Microsoft Teams. At a later date, an ordinance will be presented to Council to make findings relating to the public hearing and convey the easement to Sunoco.
