Community Meeting on Dangerous Proposed Oil Pipeline in Fanwood

Pilgrim Pipeline LLC has proposed a brand new oil pipeline
across northern New Jersey that would connect Albany, NY and Linden, NJ.  Join us at the upcoming Fanwood-Scotch Plains
community meeting to learn more about the Pilgrim Pipeline project and the
rights of landowners along the pipeline route.  

Pipeline construction would have deleterious effects on both
the open spaces and urbanized communities through which it would pass.  In the Highlands and other sensitive areas,
we would see wetlands destroyed, critical habitats for threatened and
endangered species leveled to the ground, and impacts to waterways from more
erosion due to construction.  The
pipeline would pass through environmental justice communities that have already
seen too much air and water pollution as a result of the fossil fuel
industry. 

The pipeline will carry North Dakotan Bakken shale oil.  Produced through fracking, it is one of the
most explosive types of oil in the world. In February the Wall Street Journal
compared oil from 86 locations around the world and found Bakken crude oil to
be the most explosive.   Bringing this
fuel into our state endangers our families, property, and environment.

The company has not released a detailed map but the project
is expected to follow along Rt 287 and then cut across Watchung, Scotch Plains,
and other communities on its way to Linden. 

Learn more about the project and how you can get involved at
the upcoming Fanwood-Scotch Plains educational forum:
