Transco has recently been publishing to newspapers, twitter and media releases in a mad dash to squash the significant and growing number of public input (greater than 2,500 people) that has raised serious issues regarding chemical emissions, environmental impact and long term chronic health impact to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Transco persistently makes claims that contradict their own application data – even to the extent of claiming that 25 years out there will be no contamination in the local water. As will be laid out in this article, using data Transco has provided to FERC, it will become clear to readers how this claim is impossible.
In a recent article to the Franklin Reporter and Advocate, Transco spokesperson Christopher Stockton states that the proposed compressor station “would not negatively affect water quality.” Stockton adds that the regulatory and permitting process is “robust, protecting the health and safety of the public.”
