Join us on Tuesday, June 16 from 12pm - 1pm (EST) for a FREE training call that will address pipelines and associated infrastructure.

  • Learn how to fight pipelines on all fronts.
  • Local, state, and federal...fighting every permit, no matter how small it might seem.
  • Looking at ordinances on the local levels that can be changed in advance ...like floodplain ordinances, or ordinances that allow for compressor stations to be built
  • Changing state laws for property surveying without permission before it happens in communities.
  • Passing laws that require state environmental quality to complete individual stream crossing 401 permitting.

These are just a few of the topics we will discuss on this call.
