Keystone XL foes turn focus to local government
By Grant Schulte
Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Frustrated with state and federal officials, opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline are turning to low-level county commissions and zoning boards in a new attempt to slow a project that has become a focal point of national battle over climate change.
Landowners and other opponents of the pipeline, which could carry 830,000 barrels of oil per day from Canadian tar sands to refineries on the Texas Gulf coast, are asking county commissions along the route to pass resolutions formally opposing the project to show the federal government there is local opposition. They’re also pushing for local zoning regulations — no matter how small — that could make it harder for the project to proceed.
“If enough counties have regulations — real, meaningful regulations to protect the groundwater — then maybe it hits a point where it’s not very economical to run this thing through Nebraska,” said Brian Bedient, a farmer in eastern Nebraska, the state where the opposition effort is based.
Obama: Keystone XL verdict hinges on its carbon footprint
The new local strategy comes as most state officials in Nebraska have dropped their opposition since Calgary-based pipeline owner TransCanada agreed to move the proposed route away from an ecologically sensitive area. Federal agencies and other states on the route have not raised obstacles to the plan. President Obama, who has expressed some concerns about the impact on climate change, could make a decision later this year on whether to give final government approval.
National environmental groups charge that the United States should not cooperate with fossil fuel projects that would contribute to global warming. But project supporters argue that the U.S. is better off with more oil produced in friendly countries than hostile ones.
The proposed pipeline route crosses 12 Nebraska counties, each with a local government commission. In April, Holt County became the first in Nebraska to pass a resolution opposing the project. Landowners in York County will ask the county board to approve a similar measure this month.
TransCanada company officials have met with all county commissions along the pipeline’s proposed route. TransCanada spokesman Shawn Howard said the company has promised to build the $7 billion pipeline to rigorous safety standards and carry $200 million in insurance to cover any cleanup costs.
“We work very hard to be seen as a good neighbor and to answer the questions that landowners, regulators or elected officials may have,” Howard said.
The company says that pipeline opponents are resorting to delaying tactics after repeatedly failing to stop the project.
Confidence boost: Canada optimistic on Keystone approval after Obama climate plan
For the officials in rural, sparely populated counties, the pipeline presents a difficult balancing act between landowners’ concerns about their private property rights and the potential exposure to company lawsuits.
“You hope to make the right decisions, to support what your constituents are thinking,” said Holt County Commissioner William Tielke. “But we still have to follow the rules of the federal government.”
Obama, who had held up approval during the fight over the original route, said last week the project from Canada to Texas should be approved if it doesn’t worsen carbon pollution.
Farmer Jim Carlson, whose land near Osceola, Neb., is on the proposed pipeline route, said it makes sense for local officials to get involved.
“County officials have a responsibility to make sure the public is protected from anything that might happen,” Carlson said.
Larry Dix, executive director of the Nebraska Association of County Officials, said local authorities could order a review before a pipeline could run under a county road, or for heavy trucks and machinery to cross bridges. But a blanket attempt to deny access would almost certainly trigger a lawsuit that counties would lose, he said.
That’s not stopping opponents from trying, and many county officials seem to be sympathetic. Opponents argue that local opinion could affect Obama’s decision.
“This is a no-brainer: We’ll back our taxpayers,” said Ralph Metschke, a Holt County commissioner.
York County Commissioner Tom Shellington says he now understands landowners’ argument that the intrusion isn’t justified.
“All we’re doing here is putting the pipeline down, shipping the oil to Texas, refining it and sending it overseas. I just don’t see much benefit for Nebraska — but I don’t know if we have any power if the president approves it.”
Opponents are asking county officials to push for noise restrictions during construction, local agreements to restore damaged land, and permitting fees for inspections and running a pipeline beneath county roads.
In August, Nebraska opponents plan to erect two barns with solar panels and wind turbines directly in the pipeline’s path — a move designed to force developer TransCanada to run the pipeline around them or invoke eminent domain power to destroy them. Organizers have raised $10,000 of the $65,000 needed to build the structures.

Trial delay sought in former BP exec’s Gulf oil spill criminal case
David Rainey, a former BP vice president during the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, leaves Federal Court after being arraigned on obstruction of a federal investigation in New Orleans in November 2012. (AP Photo/Matthew Hinton)Lawyers for both sides are seeking a five-month delay in the trial of a former BP executive charged with lying to federal officials about the amount of oil that was flowing from the company’s undersea well in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.
Federal prosecutors and lawyers for David Rainey of Houston filed a joint motion this week in federal court in New Orleans seeking to postpone the trial from Oct. 15 to March 10.
Spill flow: Unsealed BP report could slash Gulf oil spill penalties by billions
If granted, it would mark the second time the trial has been delayed. The request follows the government’s recent renewal of an obstruction of Congress charge against Rainey.
The judge presiding over the case had thrown the charge out on legal grounds. The government then tweaked the charge and got a grand jury to issue a superseding indictment.
Rainey, who has pleaded not guilty, also faces a charge of making false statements to federal investigators.

FMC hires Citigroup to manage sale of hydrogen-peroxide business
By Sheenagh Matthews, Jack Kaskey and David Welch
Bloomberg News
FMC Corp. hired Citigroup Inc. to find a buyer for its hydrogen-peroxide unit as the U.S. chemicals producer plans to simplify its business and accelerate a share-buyback program.
The process Citigroup is managing “is still progressing,” James Fitzwater, an FMC spokesman, said by phone today. FMC is including its silicates unit in the sale, he said. Fitzwater declined to comment on how much the sale may raise.
The hydrogen-peroxide business, which FMC calls peroxygens, may sell for $400 million to $450 million, or as much as eight times estimated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, Dmitry Silversteyn, an analyst at Longbow Research in Independence, Ohio, said today by phone.
FMC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Pierre Brondeau is reorganizing the Philadelphia-based company into three main divisions to meet targets of $1.2 billion in profit and $5.5 billion of revenue by 2015. Brondeau said in May that FMC no longer considers the hydrogen-peroxide business to be a strategic fit and a buyer may be found by year-end.
Peroxygens mostly makes hydrogen peroxide used to bleach paper, as well as peracetic acid, a biocide used by the food industry, and persulfates, which are oxidizing agents used in polymer, electronics and energy markets.
The business posted about $340 million in sales last year and the margin on its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization is in the “mid-to-high teens,” Brondeau said in a May conference call. Proceeds from a sale will be important for FMC’s efforts to return cash to shareholders “more aggressively” in coming quarters, he said.
Electronics Customers
“It’s not a turnaround situation,” Brondeau said on the call. “It’s a business which returns cost of capital, which has good Ebitda margin and cash generation.”
Peroxygens is more valuable than competing businesses because FMC has expanded into higher-margin markets such as those serving electronics and the food and beverage industries, said Silversteyn, who has a hold rating on the shares. The unit gets about 40 percent of its sales from the pulp- and paper- bleaching market, compared with 60 percent for the hydrogen- peroxide industry as a whole, he said.
