“ As with any large project, successful start- up comes after years of hard work from a lot of different individuals. Thanks for all the time, energy, and effort put into design and construction of this system! ” ~Greg Shotts, Kinder Morgan

The Kinder Morgan Utopia project is flowing ethane gas as of January 23, 2018 (about 1 month ahead of schedule). The completion of this project is outstanding for our prime teaming partner SWCA and BL. Since BL was engaged on the project in November 2014 (3 ½ years), there were many individuals involved from various disciplines including natural resources, cultural resources and environmental contaminant group; engineering (SWPP plans for the pipeline route and facilities), floodplain permits, consents to easements, water withdrawal registrations and hydrostatic discharge permits) and survey as field staff support and environmental inspection. There are still invasive species/ restoration monitoring and agricultural impact mitigation agreement monitoring tasks that SWCA and BL will be completing through December 2019.
