Neighborhood Group Plans Meeting on Controversial Gas Pipeline, Regulator Station

The Clairmont Community Alliance is holding a meeting on Wednesday, March 20, on the controversial Atlanta Gas Light pipeline and regulator station currently under construction in the area.

In a story first reported here on Patch, AGL is replacing portions of its so-called Eastside Pipeline. It is also building a gas regulator pipeline station directly in DeKalb-Peachtree Airport's flight path, which has some residents worried about potential public safety issues.

AGL is constructing the gas regulator station near the intersection of Clairmont Road and Tanglewood Circle.

While AGL spokespersons say the station and pipeline are safe, some local residents say the company has not been forthcoming about addressing the concerns of local residents.

A residential gas line near the regulator station was struck during a routine bit of construction on March 8, which has heightened residents' concerns over the station itself.

The Clairmont Community Alliance's meeting will be held at the Chamblee Library, 4115 Clairmont Road, and will run from 7-9 pm.

An email sent out by the organization said, "There will be an audio-visual presentation that will bring everyone up to date on what has transpired relative to the AGL pipeline installation and the proposed regulator station, as well as meaningful information about safety concerns, potential additional AGL expansion, the gas line breakage and leak that resulted in the closing of Clairmont Road on March 8, and other items of great importance."
