FRCP RULE 71.1 (d) NOTICE OF
COMMENCEMENT OF CONDEMNATION ACTION
To: 2.33 Acres of Land, More or Less, in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana:
Bayou Drilling Fluids, Inc.
Any Unknown Owners and Other Interested Parties
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on September 15, 2008, a Third Amended Complaint for Condemnation of Pipeline Right-of-Way Servitude (the “Third Amended Complaint”) was filed in the above captioned matter by plaintiff, Midcontinent Express Pipeline LLC (“MEP”), in which you are named as a defendant.
NATURE OF ACTION
The above-captioned matter is an action by MEP, pursuant to Section 717f(h) of the Natural Gas Act (the “NGA”), 15 U.S.C. § 717f(h), for the condemnation of natural gas pipeline rights-of-way/servitudes across tracts of land in which you have or may claim to have an ownership interest. MEP has, through a request for a preliminary injunction, also moved the Court to confirm its rights under the NGA and for immediate possession of these rights-of-way/servitudes.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY AND INTEREST TO BE TAKEN
Pursuant to the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (“FERC Certificate”) issued to MEP by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), MEP needs and is entitled to acquire a pipeline right-of-way/servitude across the following property:
That certain lot, tract or parcel of land containing 5.004 acres, more or less situated in Section 34 Township 20 North, Range 4 East, Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, more fully described in a Cash Deed from Trey Jay, Inc., A Louisiana Corporation to Bayou Drilling Fluids, Inc., A Louisiana Corporation, recorded in Book 1826 Page 826 in the Register of Deeds of Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, less and except any conveyances heretofore made.
This property is referred to herein as the “Property.” The interest to be taken consists of the following:
(1) a permanent servitude/right-of-way, as described and depicted in Appendix-Part 4 to the Third Amended Complaint, along with all of the rights and privileges reasonably necessary for MEP to construct, operate, and maintain the MEP Project including, but not limited to, the right of ingress and egress to and from the MEP Project, which includes the use of any existing roads (“Permanent Servitude”);
(2) The right to use a strip of land, running adjacent to and parallel with the Permanent Servitude and other areas necessary for construction, as described and depicted in Appendix-Part 4 to the Third Amended Complaint, during initial construction and installation of the pipeline and the necessary appurtenances thereto, along with the rights and privileges reasonably necessary for MEP to construct and install the MEP Project including, but not limited to the right of ingress and egress to and from the MEP Project, which includes the use of any existing roads (“Temporary Workspace”). After the initial construction and installation of the MEP Project and the necessary appurtenances thereto, the right to use the Temporary Workspace shall terminate. (The Permanent Servitude and Temporary Workspace are collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Right-of-Way/ Servitude”).
AUTHORITY FOR THE TAKING
Pursuant to the NGA, 15 U.S.C. §§ 717 et seq., on July 25, 2008, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) issued to MEP a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (the “FERC Certificate”) authorizing MEP to construct, own, and operate an approximately 506-mile interstate natural gas pipeline and appurtenant auxiliary facilities extending from near Bennington, Oklahoma, crossing through northeast Texas, northern Louisiana, central Mississippi, and ending near Butler, Alabama (the “MEP Project”). See MidContinent Express Pipeline, LLC, 124 FERC ¶ 61,089 (July 25, 2008).
MEP has the right of eminent domain under Section 717f(h) of the Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C. § 717f(h), and Rule 71.1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure because MEP cannot, despite good faith efforts, acquire by contract, or is unable to agree with the owners of the property to the compensation to be paid for, the necessary rights-of-way/servitudes to construct, operate, and maintain a pipeline for the transportation of natural gas.
USE FOR WHICH THE PROPERTY IS TO BE TAKEN
The Right-of-Way/Servitude will be used for the construction of a portion of the MEP Project. Specifically, the Right-of-Way/Servitude will be used for construction of the portion of the MEP Project crossing northern Louisiana, including the follow parishes: Caddo, Bossier, Webster, Claiborne, Lincoln, Union, Ouachita, Morehouse, Richland, and Madison. The MEP Project addresses the need for new pipeline infrastructure to link natural gas production from the Barnett Shale and Bossier Sands in Texas, the Woodford/Caney Shale and Granite Wash in Oklahoma, and the Fayetteville Shale in Arkansas with markets further east. When completed, the MEP Project will transport an additional supply of up to 2,732,500 Dth/d.
The MEP Project will consist of, among other facilities, a 30-inch diameter pipeline extending approximately 40 miles from the interconnection with Enogex at Bennington in Byron County, Oklahoma, increasing to 42-inch line for the next 268 miles, and decreasing in size to 36-inch line for the last 198 miles. MEP will also construct mainline compressor stations, including the Perryville Compressor Station in Union Parish, Louisiana. To receive supplies from one of its interconnects (CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission), MEP will construct the Delhi Booster Station at the interconnect and a 4.2-mile, 16-inch lateral line extending from the booster station to the mainline, all in Richland and Madison Parishes, Louisiana.
APPEARANCE OR ANSWER
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that, within twenty (20) days after service of this notice on you, you may serve on any of the counsel for MEP listed below an answer, identifying the portion of the property in which you claim an interest; stating the nature and extent of the interest claimed; and stating all your objections and defenses to condemnation of the property. Your failure to serve an answer will constitute your consent to (1) the taking of the subject property rights; (2) the Court’s authority to proceed to hear the action; and (3) the Court’s authority to adjudge the just compensation you might have as a result of the condemnation.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that if you have no objection or defense to condemnation of the property, you may serve on any of the counsel for MEP listed below a notice of appearance, designating any portion of the property in which you claim an interest, and thereafter, you shall receive notice of all proceedings affecting the property.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that at the trial of the issue of just compensation, whether or not you have answered or served a notice of appearance, you may present evidence regarding the amount of compensation to be paid for the property in which you have an interest and you may share in the distribution of the compensation award.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that MEP has moved for leave of court to deposit an amount equal to or in excess of the just compensation of the interest to be taken.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that MEP has moved the Court to confirm its right under the Natural Gas Act to condemn the subject rights-of-way/servitudes and for a preliminary injunction granting immediate possession of the rights-of-way/servitudes, and that a hearing has been requested to be held on October 8, 2008, at 10:00 a.m.
BY ORDER dated August 11, 2008, the Court granted MEP’s motion for leave of court to deposit funds into the Court’s registry. The Court has also set the hearing on MEP’s Second Motion to Confirm Right to Condemn and For Immediate Possession for October 8, 2008, at 10:00 a.m., at the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, located in the Federal Building, Suite 215, 201 Jackson Street, Monroe, Louisiana 71201.

FRCP RULE 71.1 (d) NOTICE OF
COMMENCEMENT OF CONDEMNATION ACTION
To: 2.33 Acres of Land, More or Less, in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana:
Bayou Drilling Fluids, Inc.
Any Unknown Owners and Other Interested Parties
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on September 15, 2008, a Third Amended Complaint for Condemnation of Pipeline Right-of-Way Servitude (the “Third Amended Complaint”) was filed in the above captioned matter by plaintiff, Midcontinent Express Pipeline LLC (“MEP”), in which you are named as a defendant.
NATURE OF ACTION
The above-captioned matter is an action by MEP, pursuant to Section 717f(h) of the Natural Gas Act (the “NGA”), 15 U.S.C. § 717f(h), for the condemnation of natural gas pipeline rights-of-way/servitudes across tracts of land in which you have or may claim to have an ownership interest. MEP has, through a request for a preliminary injunction, also moved the Court to confirm its rights under the NGA and for immediate possession of these rights-of-way/servitudes.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY AND INTEREST TO BE TAKEN
Pursuant to the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (“FERC Certificate”) issued to MEP by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), MEP needs and is entitled to acquire a pipeline right-of-way/servitude across the following property:
That certain lot, tract or parcel of land containing 5.004 acres, more or less situated in Section 34 Township 20 North, Range 4 East, Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, more fully described in a Cash Deed from Trey Jay, Inc., A Louisiana Corporation to Bayou Drilling Fluids, Inc., A Louisiana Corporation, recorded in Book 1826 Page 826 in the Register of Deeds of Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, less and except any conveyances heretofore made.
This property is referred to herein as the “Property.” The interest to be taken consists of the following:
(1) a permanent servitude/right-of-way, as described and depicted in Appendix-Part 4 to the Third Amended Complaint, along with all of the rights and privileges reasonably necessary for MEP to construct, operate, and maintain the MEP Project including, but not limited to, the right of ingress and egress to and from the MEP Project, which includes the use of any existing roads (“Permanent Servitude”);
(2) The right to use a strip of land, running adjacent to and parallel with the Permanent Servitude and other areas necessary for construction, as described and depicted in Appendix-Part 4 to the Third Amended Complaint, during initial construction and installation of the pipeline and the necessary appurtenances thereto, along with the rights and privileges reasonably necessary for MEP to construct and install the MEP Project including, but not limited to the right of ingress and egress to and from the MEP Project, which includes the use of any existing roads (“Temporary Workspace”). After the initial construction and installation of the MEP Project and the necessary appurtenances thereto, the right to use the Temporary Workspace shall terminate. (The Permanent Servitude and Temporary Workspace are collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Right-of-Way/ Servitude”).
AUTHORITY FOR THE TAKING
Pursuant to the NGA, 15 U.S.C. §§ 717 et seq., on July 25, 2008, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) issued to MEP a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (the “FERC Certificate”) authorizing MEP to construct, own, and operate an approximately 506-mile interstate natural gas pipeline and appurtenant auxiliary facilities extending from near Bennington, Oklahoma, crossing through northeast Texas, northern Louisiana, central Mississippi, and ending near Butler, Alabama (the “MEP Project”). See MidContinent Express Pipeline, LLC, 124 FERC ¶ 61,089 (July 25, 2008).
MEP has the right of eminent domain under Section 717f(h) of the Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C. § 717f(h), and Rule 71.1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure because MEP cannot, despite good faith efforts, acquire by contract, or is unable to agree with the owners of the property to the compensation to be paid for, the necessary rights-of-way/servitudes to construct, operate, and maintain a pipeline for the transportation of natural gas.
USE FOR WHICH THE PROPERTY IS TO BE TAKEN
The Right-of-Way/Servitude will be used for the construction of a portion of the MEP Project. Specifically, the Right-of-Way/Servitude will be used for construction of the portion of the MEP Project crossing northern Louisiana, including the follow parishes: Caddo, Bossier, Webster, Claiborne, Lincoln, Union, Ouachita, Morehouse, Richland, and Madison. The MEP Project addresses the need for new pipeline infrastructure to link natural gas production from the Barnett Shale and Bossier Sands in Texas, the Woodford/Caney Shale and Granite Wash in Oklahoma, and the Fayetteville Shale in Arkansas with markets further east. When completed, the MEP Project will transport an additional supply of up to 2,732,500 Dth/d.
The MEP Project will consist of, among other facilities, a 30-inch diameter pipeline extending approximately 40 miles from the interconnection with Enogex at Bennington in Byron County, Oklahoma, increasing to 42-inch line for the next 268 miles, and decreasing in size to 36-inch line for the last 198 miles. MEP will also construct mainline compressor stations, including the Perryville Compressor Station in Union Parish, Louisiana. To receive supplies from one of its interconnects (CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission), MEP will construct the Delhi Booster Station at the interconnect and a 4.2-mile, 16-inch lateral line extending from the booster station to the mainline, all in Richland and Madison Parishes, Louisiana.
APPEARANCE OR ANSWER
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that, within twenty (20) days after service of this notice on you, you may serve on any of the counsel for MEP listed below an answer, identifying the portion of the property in which you claim an interest; stating the nature and extent of the interest claimed; and stating all your objections and defenses to condemnation of the property. Your failure to serve an answer will constitute your consent to (1) the taking of the subject property rights; (2) the Court’s authority to proceed to hear the action; and (3) the Court’s authority to adjudge the just compensation you might have as a result of the condemnation.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that if you have no objection or defense to condemnation of the property, you may serve on any of the counsel for MEP listed below a notice of appearance, designating any portion of the property in which you claim an interest, and thereafter, you shall receive notice of all proceedings affecting the property.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that at the trial of the issue of just compensation, whether or not you have answered or served a notice of appearance, you may present evidence regarding the amount of compensation to be paid for the property in which you have an interest and you may share in the distribution of the compensation award.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that MEP has moved for leave of court to deposit an amount equal to or in excess of the just compensation of the interest to be taken.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that MEP has moved the Court to confirm its right under the Natural Gas Act to condemn the subject rights-of-way/servitudes and for a preliminary injunction granting immediate possession of the rights-of-way/servitudes, and that a hearing has been requested to be held on October 8, 2008, at 10:00 a.m.
BY ORDER dated August 11, 2008, the Court granted MEP’s motion for leave of court to deposit funds into the Court’s registry. The Court has also set the hearing on MEP’s Second Motion to Confirm Right to Condemn and For Immediate Possession for October 8, 2008, at 10:00 a.m., at the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, located in the Federal Building, Suite 215, 201 Jackson Street, Monroe, Louisiana 71201.
