Urge NJ lawmaker to call for a rejection of PennEast pipeline's
I am writing to urge you to call on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the NJ Department of Environmental Protection to reject the proposed PennEast pipeline. This project threatens thousands of acres of taxpayer-supported preserved open space and farmland, some of the cleanest streams in the state, and the drinking water for over 1.5 million New Jerseyans.
Why is this important?
The PennEast Pipeline Company is trying to build a massive pipeline through Hunterdon and Mercer counties that will pollute the water supply and scar preserved land.
Pipelines put local communities at risk – and to add insult to injury, PennEast may get the power to take private property against land owners’ wills for this project.
The good news is that there's massive opposition to the project. Local townships in the pipeline's path, residents across the state, and members of Congress have weighed in, and they’ve managed to delay PennEast's application for seven more months.
If we can mobilize state lawmakers to speak up, we can keep the pressure on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and get the attention of the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), which needs to approve PennEast’s application too.
Tell your state legislators to oppose the PennEast Pipeline and urge FERC and DEP to reject the application!
