The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the East 300 Upgrade Project by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company. This project involves modifying two existing compressor stations and building a new one in Pennsylvania and New Jersey to increase transportation capacity for Consolidated Edison Company of New York. The EA found that the project, with certain preventative measures, is unlikely to significantly impact the environment. FERC invites public comments on this assessment by March 22, 2021, through various submission methods, including online and mail.
Simple Explanation
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission looked at a plan to upgrade some gas stations to move more gas from Pennsylvania to New York. They think it won't hurt the environment much, but they want people to say what they think before making any decisions.
