Comments of Colorado Open Lands re the proposed route of the Critical Energy Reliability Link Project under CP25-539.

Summary: Colorado Open Lands opposes the proposed Critical Energy Reliability Link (CERL) Project because it would cross two properties protected by perpetual conservation easements. The organization argues that the pipeline would cause permanent habitat fragmentation, degradation of scenic character, and loss of native vegetation, and requests that FERC evaluate avoidance alternatives that protect these legally protected public conservation benefits.
