The PennEast pipeline project is once again making waves in Kidder Township and was the subject of discussion at the board of supervisor's meeting Thursday night.

According to Chuck Weber, PennEast has notified him and his wife, Cathy, regarding a change in the location of the proposed pipeline along North Old Stage Road."For two years we have been told that the pipeline will be on the other side of the Buckeye pipeline that runs through our property," Weber said. "But we have received a letter stating that we should be expecting a visit from their land acquisition people and that the location has now changed again. But they have given us no idea where it will now be, but that it will be on our property.""Changing it at the last minute like this, it gives us less time to really assess the impact. These are unscrupulous people we are dealing with," Weber said. "For two years it's in one location and now it's moved somewhere else on our property, but no one is telling us where."Weber is a member of Save Carbon County. Another member of the organization was also present at the supervisors meeting."I have prepared a timeline for the project for the supervisors," said Linda Christman. "At this point they are about one year behind schedule.""I have worked with the residents of Old Stage Road, which is one of the most impacted areas along the length of the pipeline. But Kidder Township also has a big problem with them wanting to place a compressor station on Route 940."Christman reminded the supervisors that the plan is to develop the area near where the compressor will be situated into an industrial business park."These things are very loud. It is as loud as an airport and the release and awful odor as well," said Christman."This will not entice business into the township. This will drive it away."Christman provided the board with a copy of a fact sheet that included information, which was obtained from PennEast's preliminary environmental impact study which included the amount of formaldehyde, PM10 particle pollution, VOCs, nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide that will be released into the air from the compressor station. VOCs are volatile organic compounds, such as benzene and chlorides.Christman said compressor stations are more likely than pipelines to be involved in explosions.Resident Craig Dryden was also present at the meeting."This compressor is going to be right behind my house," Dryden said. "Yet we haven't received anything from the company. We don't have a computer so we don't know where meetings are being held."The township's zoning hearing board will be holding a public meeting at 6 p.m. on Nov. 7 at the Town Center at Split Rock Resort regarding the pipeline project.The township has also set up an escrow account to track the costs of dealing with all of the plans, reports and drawings pouring into the township from PennEast regarding the project.
