  • HALT Penneast to FERC
    R. Steven Richardson 1776 K STREET NW September 12, 2016 202.719.7489 WASHINGTON, DC 20006 [email protected] PHONE 202.719.7000 www.wileyrein.com Kimberly Bose Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, NE Washington, D.C. 20426 Re: PennEast Pipeline Project’s Impacts on Drinking Water FERC Docket No. CP15-558 Dear Ms. Bose: I am writing on behalf of Homeowners Against Land Taking-PennEast (“HALT”). HALT represents over two hundred impacted landowners in towns along PennEast’s proposed pipeline route. HALT intervened in this proceeding on February 3, 2016. Its members are concerned that the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) does not accurately assess the risk of arsenic contamination from the proposed pipeline in groundwater, including landowners’ drinking water. It is well known that arsenic concentrations in water can lead to short-term and long-term health effects, including increased cancer risks, cardiovascular effects, numbness and burning sensations, nausea, and other health risks. HALT is alarmed that FERC has failed to consider these impacts on public health from the construction and operation of the pipeline, despite clear and uncontroverted evidence that the abundant concentrations of arsenic in the areas of New Jersey along the proposed pipeline likely will be mobilized by both construction and operation of PennEast’s pipeline. Although Section 4.1.5.5 of the DEIS provides superficial discussion of the risk that the pipeline would cause arsenic contamination of local water sources, the DEIS’s analysis of this risk is deeply flawed for multiple reasons. First, the DEIS relies on a defective study of arsenic contamination provided by PennEast (the Serfes Report).1 FERC must withdraw the DEIS and base its conclusions on an accurate study.

Guyot Science A Summary of the Research Progress and Accomplishments made by the Faculty Members of the Department of Geosciences Climate, biogeochemical cycles and planetary tectonics are the three basic processes that shape the Earth system. Geoscientists face a unique challenge in seeking to understand the complexity of the Earth’s physical and biogeochemical systems. The surface environment of the Earth is controlled by interactions between the deep Earth, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the biosphere. These interactions occur on timescales ranging from picoseconds for chemical reactions on particle surfaces to the billions of years over which plate tectonic processes and biological evolution have radically altered the composition of the atmosphere, and in space from nanometer to planetary scales. Princeton’s Department of Geosciences is at the forefront of scientific discovery in the solid earth, the environmental geosciences and oceanography/ climate science. Our faculty and students address critical societal issues, such as climate change and geo- logic hazards, through research and education at all levels. Our mission is to understand Earth’s history and its future, the energy and resources required to support an increasing global population, and the challenge of sustainability in a changing climate.

    Indiana University Bloomington, IN Indiana-Princeton-Tennessee Astrobiology Institute (IPTAI): Detection of Biosustainable Energy and Nutrient Cycling in the Deep Subsurface of Earth and Mars Principal Investigator: Lisa Pratt [email protected] Co-Investigators/Collaborators: At Indiana University: Ruth Droppo Michael Jasiak Doug Pearson Edward Ripley Fred Brockman, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Stephen Clifford, Universities Space Research Association Kimberly Davis, University of Tennessee, Knoxville Charles Dismukes, Princeton University James Fredrickson, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Terry Hazen, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Duane Moser, Battelle Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Satish Myneni, Princeton University Tullis Onstott, Princeton University Susan Pfiffner, University of Tennessee Tommy Phelps, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Lee Riciputi, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Barbara Sherwood Lollar, University of Toronto David White, University of Tennessee, Knoxville ITPAI Detection of Biosustainable Energy and Nutrient Cycles in the Deep Subsurface of Earth and Mars EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Our decision to seek membership in NASA’s Astrobiology Institute is motivated by a desire to bring our expertise in deep subsurface ecosystems to bear on the scientific and technological difficulties that will be encountered during the exploration of life beneath the surface of Mars. Our center will be a consortium composed of senior level investigators representing Indiana University, Princeton University, University of Tennessee, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory, University of Toronto, and the Lunar and Planetary Institute. We believe our expertise in subsurface ecosystems and our access to extraordinary analytical facilities and field sites will enable development of synergistic relationships with other biological, geological and planetary research in the NAI.
