Parish official says pipeline operators will pre‑rock, build and later asphalt Patton Road at no cost to parish
Summary
Speaker 3 described a road‑use agreement tied to pipeline activity: the operator will pre‑rock Patton Road with about 100 tons of rock, build a temporary gravel road during operations and later asphalt the route; Speaker 3 cited an estimated $800,000 in work attributed to the operator and said the parish would not bear the cost.
Speaker 3, a meeting participant reporting on district operations, outlined plans for Patton Road after pipeline activity damaged the route. Speaker 3 said the parish previously received pipeline money for immediate repairs, entered a road‑use agreement with 'Soul Farm Group,' and expects the operator to pre‑rock the road with about 'a hundred tons of rock' and build a temporary gravel road during pipeline operations.
According to Speaker 3, after pipeline activity the operator will pave (asphalt) the road and Speaker 3 estimated the operator would lay out about "$800,000" on the road, describing that work as 'no cost to the parish.' Speaker 3 also noted some legal delay and sequencing issues in the pipeline industry that affected timing; the transcript does not include the formal agreement text, contract numbers, or a signed timeline for paving.
The parish will monitor the work as activity on Patton Road resumes next year under the road‑use arrangement.
