TALE OF TWO ADJACENT PROJECTS: County Collaborated With Millennium On Parameters of Highland Compressor Study Delaware Riverkeeper: ‘Entire Process Manipulated ...With Help of Elected Officials’
New Eldred Preserve Owner Silna Eyeing Residential Development Near Pipeline
By Rich Klein
(Editor & Publisher)ELDRED, August 26, 2018 - Sometime this Fall, Sullivan County is expected to receive a baseline study of air quality in and around the Millennium Pipeline compressor station that is being built in the Town of Highland. That study is being conducted by KC Engineering and was scheduled to be paid for ($67,000) by Millennium under an agreement with the County. But the County, which started the Request For Proposal (RFP) process about two years ago, may be late to the study game. That’s because the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has already given Millennium the final OK to proceed with its Eastern System Upgrade that is slated to go online before the end of 2018. Millennium’s Highland Compressor Station (CS), part of that Eastern System, is a 22,400-horsepower facility to be built off Route 55 to help move natural gas from Corning NY (Steuben County) to Ramapo, NY (Rockland County).
