Public Hearing:

Liberty Pipeline

(Reprinted from Amboy Beacon, Feb. 2, 2011)

EDISON — The only opportunity for local residents to provide any input to

the federal agencies that can grant permits for the Liberty Natural Gas

Pipeline will be on Thursday, Feb. 10, starting with Informational Displays from

5 to 6 p.m. and a Public Forum from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the N.J. Convention &

Exposition Center, Sunfield Avenue, Raritan Center.

Regardless of anyone’s stand, this is the only time the local community w

ill have a chance to publicly-comment on the project, which calls for a

natural gas pipeline to be installed, starting offshore from Asbury Park, around

Sandy Hook, up onto land at Perth Amboy, and then along the NJ Transit

Coastal Rail Line through Woodbridge Township and Rahway to Linden.

A bus will be provided by Meg Gardner of Clean Ocean Action to transport

Perth Amboy residents to and from the hearing. Anyone who needs a ride should

call (732) 872-0111.
