`Re: Docket #PF17­4­ 000
`In reference to the Jordan Cove/Pacific Gas Connector Pipeline, we respectfully 
`ask you to consider the following:
`We are a community of 100 owners called Lakewoods Village, located at the 
`intersection of Clover Creek and Dead Indian Memorial Road in Klamath County.
`The pipeline is planned to be built less a half mile from our personal home. We 
`are concerned as we are being told our home is in the potential blast zone.  
`This is very frightening for us and our 3 young children ages, 10, 3 and 11 
`months. We see no need for this pipeline to be so close to such a large 
`community when there are miles of national forest behind it. Why put so many at 
`risk?
`In addition our community faces the other following issues:
`­­Water quality damage â€“ Our community relies on a well that provides for all 
`homes. The continual spraying along the pipeline route has an extremely high 
`probability of poisoning our water. The pipeline will be only 1/3 of a mile from
`our well.
`­­Property value â€“ Our property values are sinking lower every day this 
`project is considered. We worked our entire life to be able to appreciate the 
`natural beauty Oregon offers our community. Why destroy this piece of heaven for
`the benefit of foreign countries? And if we decide to sell, disclosure of a 
`pending pipeline directly affects our selling prices that we have been dealing 
`with for the last 10 years.
`After the trees and vegetation are ripped out to establish a 100­foot wide clear
`cut, what steps will be taken and how quickly will steps be taken to restore the
`natural beauty of Oregon to help mitigate our decreased property values at 
`Lakewoods Village?
`­­Safety â€“ Fire and emergency response risks need to be addressed. Our 
`community currently has three roads leading away from the area. The pipeline 
`will be crossing one
`and running along the side of the other. This will leave only one road for 
`evacuation in the case of fire.
`In addition, the two roads that will be affected are the roads that would be 
`used by the emergency response teams to reach our community, hence leaving them 
`no access to our community. Fires in our area are difficult to fight, and will 
`be impossible when the fire department access is cut off. Pipeline ignited fires
`and deaths are a reality.
`Class I safety standards vs. class IV for urban areas will be used in the area 
`around our community, raising an increased risk of pipeline failure due to 
`increased pipeline pressure and corrosion over the years. Our lives and homes 
`are just as valuable as those in the urban areas.
`­­No economic benefit ­ As Southern Oregon residents, we see no economic benefit
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`for the state since the profits will go to a Canadian company, the product will 
`be shipped overseas, and there will only be a handful of permanent new jobs. 
`Also, as well documented, natural gas prices in Oregon will increase causing 
`harm to our residents who rely on propane. 
`­­Climate Changing Pollution â€“ The pollution generated by all aspects of this 
`project will have a direct effect on our community. The direct, indirect, and 
`cumulative impact of fracked and conventional gas production, transport, and 
`liquefaction, including leaked methane gas, will make this project the largest 
`source of greenhouse gas emission in Oregon. What value is this to Oregonians as
`our environment deteriorates and a foreign company profits?
`FERC â€“ We ask that you consider all possible alternatives to this pipeline. 
`For example, just say no and let the Canadian company move gas across Canada to 
`the west coast, or at the very least reroute the pipeline away from our 
`community.
`Sincerely,
`Brian and Chrystal Guyette
