Pipeline Construction

A major pipeline company retained Blackshare Environmental to conduct all of the environmental permitting and clearances for construction of a crude oil pipeline between central Oklahoma and southern Kansas. Pipeline route issues included river and lake crossings, Native American lands and potential archaeological sites. In addition to consultations with all appropriate federal and state agencies, Blackshare Environmental conducted wetland surveys and obtained a Nationwide 12 Permit from the Tulsa District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Prior to construction of a 28-mile refined products pipeline in Southeast Oklahoma, Blackshare Environmental was engaged to obtain all of the environmental clearances and permits. The project included the acquisition of a Nationwide 12 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and clearances from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, the Oklahoma Archeological Survey, the State Historic Preservation Office and Native American Tribes.
