Comment Prompt 6 Reject the Williams NESE Pipeline Project

Background:

Williams/Tranco has submitted an application to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation asking the DEC to allow them to bury a new fracked gas pipeline for 23.33 miles under the seabed off New York City. Williams needs several permits, including a Water Quality Certificate, from the DEC before it would be allowed to proceed. Additionally, National Grid has proposed to include the Williams NESE pipeline into its long-term gas plan in a proceeding that is supposed to align all gas utilities in New York State with the state's landmark climate law.

The DEC is taking comments from the public through Saturday, August 16. And the DPS is taking comments until September 5. Your comment will be delivered to both agencies with one-click.
