Neighbors decry pipeline path

Harford residents see loss of land, potential danger

Still, said Guido Guarnaccia, who lives near Sparrows Point and took the tour "out of interest," a truck bomber could park near the pipeline and blow it up by remote control. "It might never happen," he said, "but with the problems this country has, who knows?"

For Greg Seltzer, who teaches history on the Essex campus of the Community College of Baltimore County and has lived in Fallston since 1980, the tour and the information that came with it was a surprise. He said he and several neighbors learned there would be a tour for the first time when they read about it in yesterday's Sun.

"This is the first we've heard that they're doing site plans and condemning properties," said Seltzer. "It looks like they're fast-tracking this."

Even worse, he said, is the possibility that if the high school and middle school students were one day forced to evacuate the premises because of a problem with the pipeline, there would be "chaos."

"There's only one road in and out of that campus," he said. "That would not be good."
