JCDD,

This particular excavation type activity which is literally shaking the ground and buildings within at least a 500 yard radius is occurring in the exact spot where the pipeline is supposed to run through. Behind Jones Park, back by the railroad tracks, just beyond the very western end of 9th street. The worker told me they were removing "casing" (whatever that is) so because of these two factors -- the location and the removal of casing from the ground presumably in preparation for the pipeline -- I assume this activity is pipeline related.

I could be wrong which is why I posted a separate thread which was apparently deleted.

I just wanted to say that I live on 7th and Brunswick and that this morning I was laying on my couch at approximately 9:30AM and the three story building I live in started to shake, as if some type of earthquake tremor. Not too severe but the essentially, my couch was in vibrate mode. So, I am pretty sure that I can hear the source of the tremor. I walk out my building over to 9th street and walk behind Jones park, underneath the turnpike. There a crew with some huge missile like machine was sitting and standing around while this huge missile was hammering into the ground. It was so loud I had to wave one of the guys standing around over to me. He and the rest all were wearing earplugs, lol. As he stood next to me, I asked him at the top of my lungs what on earth were they doing and told him that my building was shaking. I think he stated that they were removing some "casing" from the ground and that they would be done by day's end. I left him and walking back to my place along Brunswick avenue, I met a neighbor who was airing out his hot air balloon along the sidewalk. I inquired of him and he stated that he has tried to convince city officials, especially the cops, that this fracking (or whatever it is they are doing back there) is rocking the foundations of buildings within a large circumference....like three or four blocks... but that nothing can be done because Spectra is paying everyone off, especially the cops. This was the gist of what he said. Anyway, long story short, what should I do? This isn't the first time that my building has been rocking back and fourth because of the tremendous disturbance underneath the turnpike. It has happened on several occasions. Is there a compliant bureau where folks can go on record? I am seeing firsthand how corporations come before people in American society.

Something to do with all of the drilling or fracking going on underneath the turnpike courtesy Spectra Energy?
