Surfers and Residents Weigh in on Proposed Natural Gas Pipeline
Listen now
Description
On April 26th residents of Rockaway and New Jersey, city surfers, and others gathered at a Best Western in Brooklyn to voice their opinions on a proposed natural gas pipeline that would extend from Pennsylvania, through New Jersey and under the Raritan and New York Bays. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approval authority of pipelines and invited the public to speak to the agency, the Army Corp of Engineers and a contractor about the proposed Williams Company project. Co-host Ben Pomeroy spoke with a few of the attendees on why they showed up to speak out. We reached out to Williams Company via email for comment and did not hear back by deadline.
