Published Date: 8/15/2025
Notice
Summary
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company is moving forward with upgrades to their Northeast gas pipeline, adding new pipeline loops and compressor stations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. The project’s air pollution will be balanced by buying emission reduction credits, keeping the air clean. This update means construction can continue smoothly without delays, helping deliver more gas safely and on time.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Construction Emissions Concentrated in NY/NJ
FERC found that all emissions above the General Conformity applicability thresholds from construction are expected to occur in New York and New Jersey within the New Jersey‑New York‑Connecticut Interstate Air Quality Control Region. If you live in NY or NJ, construction emissions from this pipeline project will be concentrated in your state's air quality region.
Emissions Offset by NOx Credit Purchases
FERC's Final General Conformity Determination Reevaluation concludes the project would achieve conformity with the New York and New Jersey State Implementation Plans by purchasing nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission reduction credits to offset project emissions. This means the applicant will buy NOx credits to meet state air quality plans for those states.
Public Assistance for Affected Stakeholders
FERC's Office of Public Participation (OPP) can help landowners, community organizations, Tribal members, and others access publicly available information and navigate Commission processes. For help with inquiries or filings such as interventions, comments, or requests for rehearing, contact OPP at (202) 502-6595 or [email protected].
