A little extra background on this particular pipeline project:

It started in 2013 based on the lie that the Northeast needed more gas. It was called the Algonquin Incremental Markets project - a name that should have tipped off regulators that it was being illegally ‘segmented’
The segmentation was done to prevent a full environmental review of the planned project. That review would have required the inclusion of the #Weymouth compressor station. But the company vehemently denied that the gas was destined for Canadian LNG ports & export to Europe.

Communities at both ends of the pipeline raised strong objections. At the Massachusetts end it was due to the route next to an active quarry.

At the New York end it runs about 100 feet from parts of the Indian Point nuclear plant. Just 25 miles north of New York City.
