The Washington Post discusses how Environmental groups fight proposed Eastern Shore pipeline.
As a natural gas pipeline proposed for Maryland’s Eastern Shore continues to move through the state’s regulatory approval process, environmental activists promised to continue their fight to stop a line they say would encourage more fracking and harm communities.
The energy firm Chesapeake Utilities Co. wants to extend a natural gas pipeline from Delaware through Wicomico County and into Somerset County.
The $34 million project would add seven miles of new gas pipeline in those counties. The project received a key approval last week when the state Department of the Environment signed off on its tidal wetlands licenses.
