Public Comment Meeting on PennEast's Draft Environmental Impact Statement

Location:
Best Western Genetti Hotel & Conference 
77 E Market St
Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701
Phone: 570-823-6152

FERC Has Worked Hard to Devise a “Divide and Conquer” Hearing Format By Not Allowing Us to Speak Publicly.  Having a Majority of Us Deliver the Same Community Comment When Our Turn to “Testify” Comes With the Stenographer Will Show Solidarity & Strength, While Building an Important Public Record and Demonstration of Opposition.

Representatives from across the pipeline have drafted a 2-3 minute piece of testimony that make critical points for the record about the FERC process and the PennEast pipeline.  By each of us using this same piece of testimony we are sending a strong message of disappointment with the FERC process, putting key points on the record, and can stay focused on putting together the detailed written comments we need to get on the record by the September deadline.

All of us delivering the same comment into the record as our hearing testimony allows us to send a strong message of community opposition, solidarity and strength, and to do so in a way that allows us to stay focused on the strong written comments we need to get on the record.

If you want to be part of the Community Comment and/or be part of our coordinated press effort please let us know on this google form and we’ll send you the Community Comment and loop you in:
