Pilgrim Pipeline Holdings LLC has announced that it has submitted a use and occupancy permit application in New York to construct the Pilgrim Pipeline. The proposed 178-mile pipeline project consists of two separate, parallel underground lines running between supply and distribution terminals in Albany and Linden, New Jersey. The pipeline is to carry refined products like gasoline, diesel, kerosene and home heating oil to the north and crude oil southbound.
The pipeline would handle an estimated 200 000 bbls in each direction each day, or a total of 73 million bbls annually.
麻豆传媒映画淲e are excited to begin the formal process of obtaining permits in New York for construction of the Pilgrim Pipeline,麻豆传媒映画� said George Bochis, Pilgrim麻豆传媒映画檚 Vice President for Development. 麻豆传媒映画淭his step begins a comprehensive process of review and public comment in New York. Applications for permits will be filed in New Jersey later in 2015.
麻豆传媒映画淚n an effort to be as transparent as possible with Hudson Valley residents, we have posted all the New York permit documents on the Pilgrim website, and we invite questions and dialogue with government officials and the public,麻豆传媒映画� said Bochis.
The application was filed with the New York State Thruway and includes a three-volume Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) submitted in compliance with both the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA).
As reported in the application, 麻豆传媒映画淭he Pilgrim Pipeline was sited to minimise environmental impacts to the greatest extent practicable while taking into account pipeline design, construction means and methods, delivery points, and the continued economic viability and growth of the region. To this end, of the 卤116 miles of the mainline in New York State, Pilgrim proposes to locate the vast majority (about 79%) within the New York State Thruway right-of-way.麻豆传媒映画�
麻豆传媒映画淭here is more oil and natural gas being produced in the US than ever before, providing greater energy security for the US,麻豆传媒映画� concluded Bochis. 麻豆传媒映画淭he northeast is an increasingly important part of this new energy dynamic, and residents need to consider how best to transport these products to market. We are confident that the Pilgrim Pipeline offers people in New York and New Jersey a way to transport US-produced energy products in a safer, more environmentally friendly, and more efficient manner than the other available options.麻豆传媒映画�
