Petition for review filed.
A number of petitions for review were filed in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to challenge FERC’s issuance of a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the PennEast project and FERC’s denial of requests for rehearing. The PennEast project includes a 116-mile natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania to New Jersey, three lateral pipelines, a compression station, and appurtenant aboveground facilities. Issues raised by the petitioners in the requests for rehearing included FERC’s consideration of greenhouse gas emissions and impacts on climate change.
