PennEast Scoping Hearing Postponed

23 January 2015




Might the "unforeseen circumstances" have had something to do with the piles of angry letters pouring into FERC? (I've been reading them all.)


While the NJ portion of the pipeline is in Hunterdon County, the hearing was scheduled in Mercer County, at 6:00 p.m. on a weeknight, with less than two weeks notice. (People are hopping mad about that, in addition to being hopping mad about the pipeline itself.)


This is our biking turf, Slugs. This is farmland, preserved open space, parks, and some of NJ cleanest streams in danger. This is where we go to escape on weekends. Get writing!

On January 13, 2015, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Planned PennEast Pipeline Project, Requests for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public Scoping Meetings. The notice solicited comments on the potential environmental impacts of the planned project and announced the time and location of five public scoping meetings being held for the environmental proceedings.


Due to unforeseen circumstances, Commission staff is postponing the scoping meeting planned for Tuesday, January 27, 2015 at the Kendall Hall, Performance Theater, College of New Jersey, 2000 Pennington Road, Ewing, NJ 08628. Once a new venue is established and scheduled, the Commission will issue another notice advising of the new location and time.
