Florida Pipeline's Legal Battles Persist After Construction

摘要

The owners of almost 700 miles of new pipeline into Florida aim to start the flow of natural gas in June-if federal regulators give the go-ahead despite objections and lawsuits from the Sierra Club and others. Construction is finished and testing is underway on a trio of connected pipelines dubbed the Southeast Market Pipelines Project. Despite the pipelines already being built, the Sierra Club and other organizations have asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to postpone letting them go into service until an updated environmental analysis is completed and related federal litigation is resolved.
