Pennsylvania Pipeline Protest Halted by Injunction
According to recent press reports, President Judge Joseph F. Kameen of the Pike County (Pennsylvania) Court of Common Pleas has granted an injunction to prevent protestors from interfering with the construction of a gas pipeline in northeastern Pennsylvania. The proponent of the project, Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C., received a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to build the pipeline last year, and the line is projected to be in service by November 1, 2013.
