Piedmont Gas Line and
Radnor Lake State Natural Area

Members of the Friends of Radnor Lake board recently walked the route that Piedmont Natural Gas has initially proposed to run its new pipeline through the Radnor Lake State Natural Area. The route would follow an existing TVA right of way which would affect the watershed that drains into Radnor Lake and the wildlife that currently lives undisturbed in the wetlands. Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and Friends of Radnor Lake are awaiting additional information from Piedmont to evaluate how the pipeline will be safely installed with minimal impact, as well as maintained to ensure the continued protection of Radnor Lake State Natural Area.
