U.S. Takes More Time to Decide on New York Denial for Constitution Natural Gas Pipeline
Reuters reported: U.S. federal energy regulators gave themselves more time to decide whether to rehear their earlier order upholding New York’s denial of a water permit for Williams Cos Inc’s Constitution natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania to New York. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on Wednesday rejected Constitution’s request to overturn New York’s denial of a water quality certification in January. If FERC did not act, Williams rehearing request would have been deemed denied within 30 days from the date the request was made, which was Feb. 12. Williams argued New York waived its authority under the Clean Water Act to decide on the water quality certification for Constitution by failing to act within a reasonable period of time. If built, the 125-mile (201-km) pipeline would transport 0.65 billion cubic feet per day of shale gas. New York uses on average about 3.6 bcfd of gas.
