This is agreement or condemnation!

The Illinois Commerce Commission on Wednesday approved Calgary-based Enbridge Inc.'s application for the pipeline expected to run from the company's Pontiac terminal south to a pipeline hub near Patoka in Marion County.

At least for now, the commission turned down Enbridge's request for eminent domain authority, ruling the company should continue negotiating with landowners for easements for the pipeline. The ICC says Enbridge can ask to seek eminent domain if talks fail.

The July 10 AP article concludes that eminent domain is the available alternative used if the parties cannot arrive at an agreement without condemnation.
