The agency postponed meetings Tuesday at the College of New Jersey in Ewing and Wednesday at the Bucks County Community College in Newtown, Young-Allen said. FERC will reschedule the events before the public comment period ends on Feb. 27, she said. Meetings scheduled for Feb. 10 in Bethlehem, Feb. 11 in Jim Thorpe, Pa., and Feb. 12 in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. are unaffected.
The proposed 108-mile pipeline, which would be operated by UGI Energy Services, would deliver natural gas from the Marcellus Shale region in Northeastern Pennsylvania to a pipeline interconnection near Trenton. Its customers include five gas utilities in the region.
