CALL ON DEP TO ALLOW PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN PENNEAST PIPELINE’S PERMITTING

PennEast is slated to be built through some of the most pristine and valuable natural resources in the Delaware River Watershed. It would impact multiple “exceptional value” streams and wetlands, and construction could cause contamination of waterways and drinking wells, just as the Mariner East pipelines did. The public must have an opportunity to voice concerns to DEP.

Demand that DEP treat PennEast’s application as a new plan, instead of a modification, and open an official public comment period.
