– FERC docket #CP24-49, replacement of existing 6″ pipeline with a 12″ pipeline under the Sakonnet River in RI (part of Narragansett Bay).
Enbridge asked for “blanket authority” under an existing permit from 1987. Filing this way, these projects would have received automatic approval if no protests were filed in response.
Opposing organizations and individuals were able to get protests filed on the docket in time to trigger review by FERC. In June, FERC approved the expansion of pipeline under the Sakonnet River using a nearly 40-year-old permit.
