May 2010 through July 2011 - I provided water quality sampling and raptor monitoring services for El Paso Corporation along the Ruby Pipeline from pre- to post-construction activities. The Ruby Pipeline Project consisted of the construction and operation of approximately 675.2 miles of natural gas pipeline (Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and Oregon); a total of 160,500 horsepower of new compression; and appurtenant facilities such as valves, meter stations, and pig launchers/receivers. Following construction of the proposed facilities, the Ruby Pipeline Project would be able to transport up to 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. Here are copyrighted images taken while conducting water quality monitoring as part of the environmental compliance program per state permits during construction.
