Proposal for South Hall natural gas facility withdrawn

mainstreetnews.com · last updated

Following multiple requests for Hall County leaders to postpone their decision, a company seeking to build a natural gas facility in South Hall has withdrawn the proposal.

The Hall County Board of Commissioners accepted the withdrawal at its June 12 voting meeting.

Applicant Clean Eagle RNG, LLC, proposed a facility for 22.5 acres at 4212 Roy Parks Rd. near Hwy. 60 (about 10 miles north of downtown Braselton). Clean Eagle RNG sought a rezoning from agricultural and highway business to planned industrial development to proceed with this project. According to planning documents, Clean Eagle proposed using the facility as a decanting station to inject renewable natural gas into the onsite pipeline and unload natural gas from it. This injection facility would have processed compressed natural gas from the Eagle Point landfill in Ball Ground, transporting it to this site for decompression and injection into the Liberty pipeline.

The Hall County Planning Commission recommended denial of this proposal in January after concerns about the proximity of the facility to a school and two churches.
