PA DEP Issues Permits for NESE Projects in Chester, Lancaster Cos.

In August, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) reissued a certificate for the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) project, a billion-dollar-plus project designed to increase Transco pipeline capacity and flows of Marcellus gas heading into New York City and other northeastern markets by an extra 400 MMcf/d (see FERC Reissues NESE Pipeline Project Certificate for NY, NJ). NESE has several components, but the key element, the heart of the project, is a new 23-mile pipeline from the shore of New Jersey into (on the bottom of) the Raritan Bay, running parallel to the existing Transco pipeline before connecting to the Transco pipeline offshore in New York waters. There are also several components in New Jersey, including small pipeline segments and a new compressor station. However, did you know that there are NESE components in Pennsylvania?
