If you oppose this pipeline: send a letter or email urging Board of Public Utilities (BPU) commissioner Joseph Fiordaliso to
reject a proposal that would allow South Jersey Gas to place a 24" gas
pipeline through 22 miles of preserved NJ Pinelands. Commissioner
Fiordaliso is calling for written public comments on the pipeline until June 27, 2015.
