Gas Haters Protest as New Emissions-Free Compressor is Built in NJ

In April of this year, Tennessee Gas Pipeline’s (TGP) plan to flow more Marcellus gas to Westchester County, NY, and to New York City, called the East 300 Upgrade Project, took a giant leap forward when the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued permits that allow TGP to upgrade two existing compressor stations (in PA), and build a brand new compressor station in West Milford (Passaic County, NJ), just across the border and not far from Westchester County (see FERC Issues Compressor Permits for TGP’s East 300 Upgrade in NY, NJ). TGP is beginning the work to build the new compressor in West Milford, which prompted a small group of Food & Water Watch protesters to assemble and mouth off on Saturday.
