Stop the Granite Bridge Pipeline
The Public Utilities Commission, The Site Evaluation Committee and Governor Sununu
We call on the Public Utilities Commission, the Site Evaluation Committee and Governor Sununu to stop this High Pressure Pipeline and Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Facility.
We demand that you reject the Granite Bridge Project, which includes a 27 mile, 16 inch diameter, high pressure fracked gas pipeline along Route 101 from Exeter through to Manchester and a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Epping larger than the “Rainbow Tank” in Boston.
We have deep concerns about: the $440 Million dollar cost that will be passed on to ratepayers; Liberty’s lack of transparency with the public; risks that leaks and explosions pose to public safety; damage to property values all along the route; environmental threats to the Lamprey River, Lake Massabesic, and Manchester’s water supply; locking NH into fossil fuel dependency when we need to transition towards clean, local, renewable energy; changes to the rural character of the region; and potential expansion of industrial infrastructure.
NH can and must do better for our economy, our environment, and the communities we care for. Please sign on.

The Liberty Utilities Granite Bridge project includes construction of a 27 mile, 16 inch diameter, high pressure (950 psi) fracked gas, methane pipeline along Route 101 from Stratham to Manchester via Exeter, Brentwood, Epping, Raymond, Candia and Auburn, as well as the development of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Epping. This LNG facility includes a giant 170ft high, 200 ft wide tank sized to store 2 billion cubic feet of LNG (larger than the “Rainbow Tank” in Boston) as well as an industrial plant to liquefy gas from the pipeline for storage and re-gasify it for distribution.
We demand that the Granite Bridge Project be stopped. We have concerns about: the $340 M cost that will be passed on to ratepayers; Liberty’s lack of transparency concerning financials; safety risks for leaks and explosions; possible damage to property values; environmental impacts on the Lamprey River, Lake Massabesic, Manchester’s water supply and climate; changes to the rural character of the region; and potential expansion of industrial infrastructure.
