Same Old Liars Tell the Same Old Lies re Transco NC Pipe Project

Last November, Williams officially filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to build an expansion of its mighty Transco pipeline system in the southeastern U.S., a project called the Southeast Supply Enhancement Project (see Williams Files with FERC to Expand Mighty Transco Pipe in Southeast). The SSE project will add 1.6 million dekatherms per day (1.6 Bcf/d) of natural gas transportation capacity, equivalent to what is needed to serve approximately 9.8 million homes. The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) held a hearing last Thursday and is accepting public comments until Oct. 6. The same old liars were out in force peddling the same old lies about pipelines and water quality, air quality, etc., to try to defeat this project.
