Sierra Club Takes Aim at Cape Cod Canal Pipeline Relocation

Back in April, MDN told you about Enbridge's ~$300 million job to move the natural gas lines that hang off the Bourne and Sagamore bridges and run them under the Cape Cod Canal instead (see Algonquin Gas Pipeline to Cape Cod Needs $301M Relocation). It's a must-do project before Massachusetts can replace the two 90-year-old bridges. The Army Corps of Engineers ordered the move. MassDOT is paying for it. Nobody asked for more gas. Yet the Sierra Club has now decided this is a sneaky pipeline expansion in disguise, and it's taking that argument to the Cape Cod Commission, which holds its first hearing on the project this Wednesday, Oct. 28.
