Bethlehem Township Commissioners have taken no action to support or oppose the proposed PennEast Pipeline, but at their March 16 meeting, they voted unanimously to hire Carroll Engineering to identify "potential geological hazards", lifestyle risks and even provide an emergency action plan if something goes wrong. The firm will be paid a maximum of $4,745.
Solicitor Jim Broughal explained that the high pressure, 108-mile long natural gas pipeline, which extends from Wilkes-Barre, Pa. to Trenton,N.J., is still in the pre-planning stages with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. He added that the pipeline consortium of six natural gas companies will have to negotiate with the Township for easements over and under public rights of way.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Good call.... political cover, but good call.
ReplyDeleteMore importantly for safety and "streetscape", it is good to see that the culvert across the street from the Pub is going to be fixed. Its a hazard and an eyesore.
You're one step ahead of me. I just finished that story. So many different things went on that i decided to do a bunch of mini-stories.
