Opponents custody remain as a pipeline construction approaches
After four years of struggle, new signatories authorized $ 600 million natural gas pipeline from Canada on Long Island say they hope to begin construction in Connecticut in early spring this year.
The first task will be for rights of way for the Connecticut portion of the 370 miles of pipeline, which should be easier now that the federal government has approved the project, “said Gary Davis, a spokesman Iroquois Gas Transmission System, Pipeline Development.
More than 40 per cent of land for the project in New York and Connecticut has already won, he said, although the percentage is probably the only Connecticut lower. Iroquois had the resistance of some property owners along the road, “said Davis, and added that a large part of the opposition must evaporate, now, since the project was developed to license the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The Commission gave unanimous approval of the project to 14 November.
In addition to research ways of rights, he said, starts at Iroquois tenders for the purchase of cane and building materials and construction of the underground pipeline. “We have just place an order for $ 91 million in value cane,” said Davis.
As has been proposed, there are more than four years, the pipeline which is natural gas from Canada West to six Northeastern United States, had aroused bitter opposition. Steven J. Whitman, director of the Housatonic Valley Association in Cornwall, which is already active in the fight against the pipeline, said his group will soon decide if it appealed against this decision. Note positive change,
“We do not have a decision on yet attractive,” said Whitman. “Despite the fact that we disagree with the decision, we feel we there have been many positive changes.” He found that the pipeline route is shorter than the original proposal, and a pipeline of assistance, known as Lateral Farmington, should have been barred several other cities in Connecticut, was abandoned.
Who in search of appeal against the decision licensing file must be a petition for a rehearing within 30 days; The Commission then has 30 days to respond. Only after the complainant would be able to lodge an appeal in Federal Court.

Mr. Davis said that the pipeline is divided into three stages, the first in Long Island Sound, procedures for this winter. The construction of the Canada-Albany segment will begin in April 1991 until October, he said. The rest of the pipeline will be built between June and December 1991. Start gas fluid Albany next November, he said, and the entire pipeline, in January 1992.
The project is managed by a consortium of 13 fuel and energy companies in Canada, New York, Connecticut, and in other parts of the USA.
Iroquois, “he said in close contact with the Connecticut Siting Council, an agency of the State, the jurisdiction of the pipeline. In October, the Council approved the pipeline is part of Connecticut. But the licensing process came with several provisions aimed at ensuring the smooth construction, the Council said Executive Director Joel Reinbold.
“This is a very complex project, which has the potential for great environmental degradation,” said Reinbold, and added that the Council has adopted a “very, very refined version of Plan . “Independent Controls
In addition, he said, the Council is the Iroquois to submit detailed plans on the protection of trees and vegetation along the route, as well as marine life, as the oyster beds in the Housatonic River and Long Island Sound.
