Senator Johanns says he will be doing everything he can to get the project "green - lighted" at the federal level so it can move forward.

Johanns; "a lot of sense."
Senator Johanns fought against the first route planned through Nebraska as it went through the Sand Hills and the Ogallala Aquifer. He is pleased the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality approved the alternate route and that Governor Heineman signed off on it.
