A Hegins Township man has started a petition against a proposed compressor station in his community — part of the Williams’ Leidy South Expansion Project.
According to the Republican Herald, Bernard Spece is in the process of organizing a petition to oppose the project and plans to forward it to elected officials at the local, county, state and federal level in the hope that they will intervene and stop this project from going forward.
Although the proposal is still in its planning stages, the Leidy South project includes adding a new compressor facility along the existing Transco pipeline corridor in Hegins Township, plus other facility additions in other counties.
A public meeting on the project will be held Tuesday and Williams, the natural gas pipeline company that operates the Transco pipeline, will host an informational open house from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Hegins Area Ambulance Association building.
