Mont Belvieu Council OKs
gas pipeline construction
By Greg Kahn
of The Baytown Sun
MONT BELVIEU — Despite
a resident’s complaints, City
Council voted 3-1 Monday to
grant approval to Koch Pipelines
to construct a 12-inch propane
pipeline through the city.
Earl Smith, who lives on
Highway 565, cited last week’s
explosion in Brcnham in claim-
ing the pipeline will have “too
much pressure ... too close to
my home.”
Members of council, led by
Mayor Fred Miller, said they
sympathized with Smith’s
plight.- But Miller said the coun-
cil’s hands were tied by a city
ordinance and Department of
Transportation regulations.
“We’re always aware of the
danger of pipelines,” Miller
said. “The question is whether
(Koch) meets the (federal) reg-
ulations, and they do. . .We’re
regelated by the city ordinance.”
We’re always aware
of the danger of
pipelines.
Fred Miller
Mont Belvieu’s ordinance al-
lows companies which adhere to
Department of Transportation
regulations to build pipelines
which run through the city.
Miller said the council’s only
option was to consider modify-
ing the ordinance for future
applications.
“(The pipe) has 1,400 pounds
of pressure and . . . irs only
125 feet from my fence, 175 feet
from my house,” said Smith.
“It’s twice the size of the line
that was buried in Brenham . . .
and it’s carrying the same hot
stuff.”
Councilwoman Dee Roach
and Councilmen J.B. Green and
Vernon Kemp voted in favor of
the application, while Council-
man Arthur Barrow voted to re-
ject Koch’s bid.
Councilman Carrell Richard-
son was not present for the vote.
According to a representative
from Koch, 90 percent of the
easements for the pipelines have
already been purchased. He said
the 20,000-foot line would be
made up of steel “heavy wall
pipe” and would be buried three
feet beneath the ground.
Smith said he understood why
the council approved the appli-
cation, though he characterized
transportation department reg-
ulations as being In “left field.”
“I wanted to be here on the
record,” Smith said directly to
the representatives from Koch.
“I’m going to draw up papers,
so if that thing comes out of the
ground and kills us (him and his
wife), my daughter is going to
try to own everything you
have.”
Police have no clue concern-
ing who fired the bullet that
struck a Wal-Mart shopper
Monday.
Investigating officers said the
37-year-old victim, Mona
Bonds, went shopping with her
4-year-old daughter and 10-
month-old son and walked out
of the store at 4900 Garth about
2 p.m. She walked through the
parking lot’s center aisle, push-
ing a shopping cart with the boy
inside it and the girt walking
alongside.
She told police she heard a
small “pop,” that sounded like a
child’s cap gun, then felt a
tingling sensation in her arm.
The victim pushed up her
shirt sleeve, saw blood and
realized she had been shot.
She called to nearby shoppers
for help and was taken by
Baytown Emergency Medical
Service to a local hospital. She
was reported in good condition,
police said.
Because the bullet lodged in
the victim’s arm without strik-
ing a bone, police believe it was
either fired from some distance
away or could possibly be a BB
pellet.
Officers said they believe the
victim was not an intended
target in the shooting.
MAN ARRESTED
Baytown police arrested a
man at his residence at 1301
Beaumont Street Monday after
Mississippi authorities asked for
help in locating him.
The 26-year-old man was
wanted in Mississippi on a
charge of statutory rape, police
said. He was transferred to the
Harris County Jail to await
extradition to Mississippi.
CHURCH INCIDENT
Police were called out twice
over the weekend to investigate
incidents related to a church
bus.
On Friday, a man became
angered over where a bus
belonging to the Harvest Time
Church, 213 W. MurriU, was
parked.
Two women church members
told police he threatened them
with a gun and said he would
shoot them if they didn’t move
the vehicle.
Police noted the bus was
legally parked.
Sa
On Saturday, the church
member who drives the bus
found two tires slashed, police
said.
TRAFFIC DISTURBANCE
Bystanders helped hold a
woman who was involved in a
traffic accident at an intersec-
tion in the 3000 block of West
Baker about 6 p.m. Monday.
The woman’s car collided with
the back end of another vehicle.
Leaving her vehicle screaming
and thrashing, witnesses thought
she was injured. But when she
was tranported to a local hospi-
tal and examined, she was found
to have an extremely high level
of alcohol in her blood. She was
taken to the Baytown City Jail
charged for driving while
intoxicated. No one was injured
in the accident, police said.
BURGLARIES/THEFTS
—A man told police the vinyl
top had been stolen from his
Jeep, then located the stolen top-
at a Baytown used car dealer-
ship. Police seized the top,
valued at $550, and are investi-
gating the incident.
—A resident in the 7300
block of Cottonwood reported a
pager stolen from his vehicle
sometime over the weekend.
