NJ DEP Blasted For Permit Approvals Green-Lighting Transco Compressor Station

EXPLAINING OPTIONS – Township attorney Lou Rainone explains what options are available to the Township regarding the Williams-Transco NESE pipeline project.

The last of the state permits needed for the construction of a $1 billion, multi-state natural gas pipeline project – part of which will come through Franklin – was approved January 12, and was immediately blasted by state environmentalists and Township officials.

The state Department of Environmental Protection approved on January 12 an air quality permit application made by Houston-based Williams-Transco for a 32,000-horsepower, natural gas-powered twin-turbine compressor station targeted for a 52-acre tract in Little Rocky Hill, near Route 518.
