**ATTENTION!** 

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is expected to sign a Precedent Agreement with Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP) in the coming days. This agreement green lights TGP/KM to begin surveying your property for the construction of a methane gas pipeline to the proposed Cheatham County plant. This means we should expect the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) to be released soon and a FERC Docket opened on the pipelines.

​

Disclaimer: Information provided on this website is not intended to be used as legal advice. Please be aware, that if landowners refuse TGP access to survey, TGP may get a court order and try to recover its court costs from the landowners.

​

Key points you need to know:

🔹 TVA is proposing a methane gas plant on 286 acres on Lockertsville Road in West Cheatham County.

🔹 This plant is said to support regional growth, but it comes with significant environmental and property rights concerns.

🔹 The Precedent Agreement with TGP will allow surveys for the pipeline construction, impacting local properties.

Important reminders for landowners:

🔸 The government must prove the need for use of your property. You have no obligation to cooperate or negotiate.

🔸 You have the right to your private property under the Fifth Amendment until just compensation is offered.

🔸 DO NOT grant access to TVA or TGP/KM without knowing if the project will proceed. Once they gain access, your property could be targeted for future projects, regardless of the current project's approval status.

🔸 If you have not retained legal counsel, it's something you need to consider.

These companies prioritize profits over the well-being of landowners. Stay informed, assert your rights, and protect your property!
