Expresses to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission opposition to proposed Northeast Supply Enhancement Project; urges consideration of certain alternative projects.
This resolution expresses New Jersey's opposition to the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) Project, a proposed natural gas pipeline expansion that would build a compressor station in Franklin Township, Somerset County, near an active quarry. It cites concerns including aging pipeline infrastructure, risks from nearby quarry blasting, potential air quality impacts from chemical emissions, and environmental harm to the Raritan Bay. The resolution urges the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to consider alternative energy projects that meet New York's needs without endangering New Jersey residents' health, safety, or the environment. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change the project's status but formally communicates the state's position to FERC.
