Environmentalists oppose natural gas pipeline application
A coalition of Connecticut-based environmental groups is condemning a proposed natural gas pipeline because it crosses protected water company lands. The group says clean drinking water would be threatened by what it terms a dirty energy source.
Kinder Morgan has submitted an application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a proposed natural gas pipeline across protected water company lands near Hartford. The environmental coalition said in a statement it would traverse protected Class I and Class II watershed lands belonging to the Metropolitan District Commission, which provides drinking water in the Greater Hartford area.
Tennessee Gas Pipeline, a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, said on its website the project consists of approximately 13.49 miles of 24-inch and 36-inch diameter pipeline looping in Albany County, N.Y., Berkshire and Hampden counties, Mass. and Hartford County. Looping involves the installation of new pipeline segments adjacent to and connecting with existing pipeline to add incremental capacity.
