The Delaware Riverkeeper Network has created an online petition to ask that the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) hold separate meetings concerning the PennEast pipeline, not joint meetings, as now planned, with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which has ultimate authority over the pipeline application.
Bridgeton Township has passed a resolution opposing the PennEast pipeline over concerns for the health and safety of our residents from upstream work on the Delaware River and potential impacts to water quality for recreational purposes and possible groundwater contamination.
The public is invited to attend the re-scheduled Gas Drilling Forum IV- PennEast Pipeline Impacts educational forum sponsored by the Gallows Run Watershed Association.
The forum is scheduled for Monday, January 5, from 7:00-9:00pm at the Palisades High School, 35 Church Hill Road in Kintnersville, PA.
Speakers, listed below, will address the potential impacts on our communities and environment of the proposed PennEast pipeline and other infrastructure for the export of Marcellus shale gas. A question and answer session will follow.
Maya van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper, PennEast Pipeline ‹ Cumulative and Environmental Impacts, and Strategic Arguments for Challenging
Lynda Farrell, Pipeline Safety Coalition Pipeline Regulation and Landowner Rights

Due to inclement weather forecast and dicey road conditions for our presenters, the Impacts of PennEast Pipeline educational forum at Palisades High School tomorrow evening is postponed.
We are looking for an alternative date and will let you know when we have one.
