Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland opposes Byhalia pipeline in Tennessee, Mississippi

As an unacceptable risk to the Memphis Sand aquifer, Mayor Jim Strickland said Tuesday he will support local efforts to regulate the proposed Byhalia pipeline, after careful review and detailed conversations with environmental scientists by his administration. The statement also urges state and federal agencies to thoroughly evaluate the Byhalia Pipeline proposal with more scrutiny. I have great concerns that the Byhalia Pipeline would pose an unacceptable risk to our Aquifer. The risk of a leak in the pipeline is real, and any leak is likely to cause harm to the Aquifer. It’s a risk we should not take, Strickland wrote in a statement a city official said Memphis City Council received Tuesday.
