Further Preparation of the Oil Pipeline in Heritage Park

Witt Farm Side of Pipeline Buried - W of Howell Dug Under - Burried Drilling Mud Pit

East of Howell Highway the pipeline is now dug under the field.

West of Howell Highway the pipeline is now being put underground and leads until about 30 feet before the bluff down to the Beaver Creek floodplain.

The open pit filled with drilling mud and chemicals was dug under ground at the Heritage Park drilling site.

Before (April 26):

After (May 2):

Heritage Park in Spring Bloom

Not about oil but something nice - that is potentially endangered by all that is going on - especially the wetland habitat plants and animals

Pipeline Trench Dug Out Drilling Under Howell Highway - Open Pit in Heritage Park Burried

Trench for pipeline dug out and pipeline laid at least 3 feet under ground starting East of Howell Highway.

 

 

 Drilling underneath Howell Highway from the West

Meantime - surprise in Heritage Park - the new deeper pit that most of the drilling mud of the 1st pit was transferred in was dug under - out of sight not there anymore? What about groundwater safety???

Pipes prepared and welded to be dug in in the coming days.

Final path of the pipeline now laid out: From the disc golf field into the woods, passing the county drain just by about a foot, leaving Heritage Park into private property, continuing straight across (under) Beaver Creek, and straight up the floodplain bluff to the farmland West of Howell Hwy.

The tank / well farm (central processing facility) is ready to take on at least the two new wells from Heritage (see the 4 separators). The hidden flare will soon burn off twice as much toxic and cancerous gases.

Pipeline now also laid out in Heritage Park

Pipes are welded and laid out to be dug into the soil soon left and right of Howell Highway

 

Now pipes are also laid out and welded across the disc golf park in Heritage Park

Pipeline will have 5 smaller parallel pipes

Pipeline is now laid out from Witt Farm to Howell and from there to the Beaver Creek bluff. Five parallel pipes instead of one. No pic taken today as but looks similar to my previous post.

Pipeline laying continues - Tank farm being prepared to process 4 Wells

Savoy had a late start today - but hey it is Saturday. Now the tank farm is being prepared to add processing of the two Heritage wells. No activities at the drilling site in Heritage - there is a soccer tournament today. I guess Savoy does not want to scare off the public...
