Plains All American Pipeline L.P., the midstream company behind the abandoned Byhalia Connection Pipeline project, decided it wanted a few last words Tuesday.
Cory Thornton, an attorney for Plains, told the Memphis City Council the ordinance that would ve governed the crude oil pipeline and its potential impact on the Memphis Sand Aquifer was unnecessary, anti-industry and that the measure if passed, would be overturned by the courts.
The company announced Friday that it had abandoned the pipeline project, citing a drop in crude oil demand. The decision to abandon the project also came after it encountered widespread opposition to the project from Memphis activists, celebrities and city government.
