Appalachian Trail is over 2K miles long, and like 10 ft wide if that. I doubt seriously anyone is going to notice. Sounds just like bureaucrat EPA lawyers suing each other for the sake of it and billing the taxpayer.
I didn't read. I love the enviroment and national forests, but I know any project like is always sounds far worse than what it is. There was some talk of maybe mining near the Grand Canyon a few yrs ago and it sounded horrible. But when I visited the GC, it ends up there is about a 20 mile buffer on either side that you could literally hide a dozen football fields and no one would notice.
This!!! They use this type of language all the time to scare people. It's "NEAR" something. Well what the hell does "near" even mean? It could mean anything.

Doesn't the article confirm that the pipeline would only run with the trail for a fraction of a mile in one forest?
