BLOOMFIELD, NJ The Bloomfield Town Council recently took a symbolic stance against the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company s proposal to expand its footprint in North Jersey.
During their Monday meeting, the council passed a resolution that calls on Gov. Phil Murphy to deny key environmental permits needed for the East 300 Upgrade Project.
According to a statement from Food & Water Watch, residents are concerned about the possible risks of building a major fossil fuel processing facility within 2,000 feet of the Monksville Reservoir, since 3.5 million people source their drinking water from the system.
