BEESLEY’S POINT – Opponents of South Jersey Gas’ natural-gas pipeline are challenging a Feb. 24 decision by the Pinelands Commission, The Press of Atlantic City reports.
Pinelands Preservation Alliance filed an appeal with the appellate division of the New Jersey Superior Court against the Pinelands Commission’s approval of a pipeline that is proposed to run 22 miles from Cumberland County through Estelle Manor to Beesley’s Point in Upper Township to allow the coal-fired B.L. England power plant to switch to natural gas, and remain open.
According to the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, construction of the pipeline violates environmental protections set by the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan, including a stipulation to pipelines that are “intended to primarily serve the needs of the Pinelands.”
A Jan. 17, 2016 appeal against a Pinelands Commission resolution that established the review procedure for the proposed pipeline is still pending, the report continued.
