Citizens may testify at the public hearings or submit comments in writing to Ohio EPA prior to the close of the public comment periods. Copies of the draft permits and information on how to submit comments (including deadlines) are available online athttp://epa.ohio.gov/pic/roverpipeline.aspxor by contacting Ohio EPA’s Public Interest Center at (614) 644-2160.

If issued final, the permits would allow the installation and operation of equipment associated with the compressor stations, which produce air emissions. Before issuing the draft permits, Ohio EPA reviewed the company’s applications to ensure that the proposed emissions would comply with federal and state air pollution control standards, and protect human health and the environment.

Ohio EPA does not have regulatory authority over issues such as: siting; eminent domain; setbacks to homes, schools and businesses; noise levels; traffic; zoning; pipeline safety; or impacts on property values.
