Hits Keep Coming as New Jersey Denies PennEast Water Quality Permits

摘要

The New Jersey Department of Envi- ronmental Protection (DEP) has again denied a water quality certifcation (WQC) and other key permits for the PennEast Pipeline project. Without the approvals, the project can not move forward. DEP’s decision is the latest setback for PennEast and is likely to further delay progress on the 1 Bcf/d pipe- line that’s been in the works for about fve years to move more Appalachian shale gas to Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
