Ryan Regec owns 78 acres in Schuylkill County, PA (eastern part of the state). He plans to subdivide the property into smaller properties and sell the building lots--but the Atlantic Sunrise Pipeline is coming through a portion of the property, and Mr. Regec says that means he can't subdivide and sell it the way he planned. Regec has, in the past, allowed surveyors from Atlantic Sunrise on his property--but recently has refused. Atlantic Sunrise (i.e. Williams) took him to court to force access to complete their surveys, and Williams just won.
