Clean Ocean Action Sues NJ Agency for Approving NESE Pipe

Last November, New Jersey (and New York) issued a federal Clean Water Act permit to build the Williams Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) pipeline project (see Trump Won: New York & New Jersey Issue Water Permits for NESE Pipe). In addition to various state and federal permits required for NESE, the project needed approval from the New Jersey Tidelands Resource Council, a 12-member panel appointed by the state governor and working with the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) staff. The Tidelands Council issued its approval of NESE in May of this year (see Obscure NJ State Agency Grants Approval for Williams NESE Pipe). The green group Clean Ocean Action is now suing NJ over the Tidelands approval.
