A network of community groups along the path of a proposed 108-mile natural gas pipeline have united in opposition to the project via a Facebook page, Stop The PennEast Pipeline.

Since it was created in August, the page, which can be found at

www.facebook.com/stopthepenneastpipeline, has tallied over 1,900 likes.The group is collectively known as Concerned Citizens Against the Pipeline.Frequent posts on the Facebook page update its readers on the latest in the development process and encourage communication with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which has the final call on the pipeline, about any project concerns.Landowners who may be affected by the pipeline, or anyone with an opinion on the project, can submit comments to FERC at

www.ferc.gov.According to Karen Feridun, founder of Berks Gas Truth, the group holds an "organizing call" every Sunday from 7 to 8:30 p.m.People fighting the pipeline can connect with one another, she said.To participate, you can call 605-562-3131 and enter 651430# as the conference code."Take a stand," a CCAP Facebook post made on Friday reads. "Let's fight this thing. I am asking you for comments here on how we can help you to become more active in this process. And I know that many believe the process is skewed, and they aren't wrong. But we do at least have a chance to participate. We have actually been given the chance to voice our concerns, at least let's do so."Last week, the Wyomissing-based PennEast Pipeline Company announced a slight route change through Carbon County. The latest route, which the company said won't be its last, still runs through Towamensing, Lower Towamensing, Kidder and Penn Forest townships on its way from Wilkes-Barre to New Jersey.PennEast is in the pre-filing stage of the pipeline planning process. Kornick said it plans to make its final application to FERC in the third-quarter of 2015.FERC is holding a public input session at 6 p.m. Feb. 11 at Penn's Peak and will use the testimony as it prepares an environmental-impact statement on the pipeline.If the timeline holds, PennEast plans for the pipeline to be in operation late in 2017.Those who would benefit from the pipeline, including New Jersey Natural Gas, tout the appoximately 1 billion cubic feet of gas it would transport per day."That is enough gas to serve 4.7 million homes," said Kathleen Ellis, New Jersey Natural Gas chief operating officer. "The project will provide access to natural gas from one of the lowest natural gas price points in the country."On CCAP's website, stoppenneast.org, surveys are available for the six counties through which the proposed pipeline would run.One question, for example, is, "Please describe any structures that are currently on your land and how these structures may be impacted by the pipeline route?"CCAP organizers said the information would be used in a submission to FERC.
