To the editor:
In an article, More Than 1440 Seek Permission to Join FERC'S Penneast Gas-pipeline Case, Patricia Kornick, a spokeswoman for PennEast Pipeline Company LLC, states: "It's unfortunate these groups chose to use a part of the formal process as a way to express displeasure against the project."
These interveners' are residents, landowners, organizations and municipalities affected by this proposed pipeline.
I am also signed up as an intervener, why you ask? Because in my community if a blast were to occur, 17 homes could be affected. Not houses. They have newborn's, children, parents, families living in them. We are not a number. Mine being one of them.
PennEast still doesn't realize we have only well water and septic systems out here in the country.
So, yes, we are speaking up to protect our community, our land.
The only concern PennEast has is rush, rush, rush to connect to other pipelines and to have New Jersey departments to give waivers to your proposed pipeline before approval.
I am glad to be a part of this process. I have learned a lot over the course of the last year about pipelines. I will speak up for my land I have had residency on for the last 26 years and for my community.
