Pinelands Pipeline

The plan was not approved in 2014 but is being reconsidered with new commissioners on the board.

A proposed natural gas pipeline in South Jersey failed to pass muster Friday, when a tie vote by the Pinelands Commission blocked a potential memorandum of agreement with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.

A report compiled by the professional staff of the New Jersey Pinelands Commission recommends that the agency approve a hotly-debated plan to build a natural gas pipeline through the protected Pinelands region.

A deal appears to be in the works that would enable a 22-mile natural gas pipeline to be built in New Jersey's Pinelands.
