Good News, Bad News: NESE Fight Part 2


Tall and small must join together to stop the NESE pipeline
As you may recall on June 5, 2019, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) denied crucial permits for the pipeline. However, the denial was made in a way that left the door open for the company to reapply. The company has already taken advantage of this and on June 10, 2019, William/Transco filed a reapplication for the necessary permits. The DEP will be accepting public comments regarding the reapplication of theproject until midnight on Friday, August 2. COA urges everyone to write a letter to the NJDEP asking them to (1) extend the public comment period by 30 days, (2) hold a public hearing in the Bayshore area, and (3) to deny this project with prejudice based on the well documented negative environmental and economic impacts. Comments should be submitted electronically to joslin.tamagno@dep.nj.gov or steve.olivera@dep.nj.gov at the DEP.
