Court Orders Pause in Atlantic Sunrise Pipeline Construction
COLUMBIA, Pa. (AP) — A federal appeals court has temporarily halted construction of a natural gas pipeline in Pennsylvania.
LNP reports the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., stopped work on the Atlantic Sunrise pipeline.
Environmental groups are asking for a comprehensive environmental review of the pipeline by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
A spokesman for pipeline builder Williams Partners says the company is assessing the impact of the temporary order.
Williams is preparing to run the pipeline through a cornfield owned by an order of nuns. The Adorers of the Blood of Christ have sued in federal court to stop the project. The suit was dismissed by a federal judge. That ruling is under appeal.
Gas from the pipeline will flow into the Transco Pipeline, which runs from New York to the Gulf of Mexico.
