Our state representatives are really wonderful. They sent another joint letter to Commissioner Suuberg of MassDEP, in response to Enbridge's inadequate cleanup plan. You can read the letter here.

Finally, the Globe catches up after 5 long years. Congratulations, Fellas. Maybe if you'd picked up on this a little earlier your good friend Charlie Baker might have listened. You can read their article here: Weymouth gas project gets final federal OK

We especially like the part where Enbridge says that "Algonquin Gas Transmission. . . remains committed to ensuring construction activities are conducted in compliance with all applicable requirements, with public health and safety as our priority."

The Town of Weymouth continues to fight for its residents, unlike our Governor. Mayor Hedlund sent a letter to the DEP today, asking them to review Enbridge’s clean up plan, before construction begins.

This morning, FERC granted Enbridge the Notice to Proceed (NTP) construction on the compressor station. While this was not unexpected, it comes over the objections of all of us, our Federal delegation, our state legislators, the Town of Weymouth, our allies, and pretty much everyone you can think of except for Gov. Baker.

We really did not want to ruin your Thanksgiving, but we want you to know that we are still in the fight. With your help--your time, your treasure, and your talent--we are not giving up this fight. We will work to stop this by all means available. And we need you to stay focused, stay strong, and stay with us as a community.

DARTMOUTH’S IRVING INSTITUTE: TELL IRVING OIL TO CANCEL ITS TOXIC WEYMOUTH COMPRESSOR CONTRACT

The Town of Weymouth filed three more lawsuits against the compressor station proposal today. The lawsuits seek to overturn CZM’s approval of the project and DEP’s wetlands and waterways approvals. Many thanks to the Mayor and the Town for pursuing this situation to the bitter end! FRRACS is filing on the Waterways and is looking into our ability to file against CZM. Stay tuned, Campers.

Thank you for standing out with us at NECBC’s (New England Canada Business Council) 27th Annual Energy Conference. Since Enbridge was a sponsor of this conference, we wanted to send them the message that they are not welcome here or anywhere. Their compressor station is a #ToxicAsset.

Senator Markey and Senator Warren have written to FERC, urging them to reconsider Enbridge’s project proposal.

We don't have the letter on the docket just yet, but we will publish when we do. Many thanks to Senators Markey and Warren. And many thanks to Jessica Trufant for her continued reporting. It's been a long five years....

Our November 1 action on film! Many thanks to our friends Dan and Marilyn Brielmann from e-Awakening Films for making this clip, and for following this fight for nearly 5 years now. Watch below!

Congressman Joe Kennedy serves on the Energy and Commerce committee and was with us yesterday for a site visit. Our attorney, Mike Hayden, was able to speak with Joe and has sent pertinent information to his office. We are hoping that the Congressman, along with Congressman Lynch, can help us with FERC and with PHMSA.

Congressman Stephen Lynch and Congressman Joseph Kennedy sent a joint letter to FERC, urging them to deny Enbridge’s request for a Notice to Proceed [with construction]. We are grateful for their support and advocacy. We hope that FERC will take time to listen to all our concerns.

Our friends at Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) and No Fracked Gas in Mass submitted a letter to FERC today, in support of PLAN-NE’s (Pipeline Action Network - Northeast) request for a denial of Enbridge’s request for a Notice to Proceed with construction. We thank BEAT and No Fracked Gas in Mass for submitting this letter and for their longtime support. You can read their letter here.

Governor Baker chose profits over people. That will forever be his legacy. From West Roxbury to Sandisfield to Weymouth and on to Charlton, East Boston, and Longmeadow. We are all Governor Baker's sacrifice zone. #NoWeymouthCompressor

Early this morning FRRACS members and friends from Extinction Rebellion and 350 Mass gathered at the proposed compressor station site to remind Enbridge that they will never be welcome here.

Check out this trailer for a short film -- It Smells Like Rotten Eggs -- about the compressor station proposal, made by a local resident. It's a powerful clip.

Mayor Hedlund and the Town of Weymouth have submitted a letter to FERC, objecting FERC’s request for a “Notice to Proceed” with construction. We extend our gratitude to the Town for continuing to fight for their residents. You can read their letter here.

Yesterday, Enbridge filed two letters with FERC: 1. A request for an NTP — Notice to Proceed; and 2. Response letter to PLAN-NE’s letter. In their response letter, they attempted to discredit a letter that PLAN-NE Pipeline Action Network - Northeast) submitted last Friday, outlining Enbridge’s lack of necessity. PLAN-NE has since responded with a second letter. Enbridge’s pompous, arrogant attitude is not surprising but it is insulting. Enbridge has not initiated any clean up of soil contamination at the site and have not been able to prove necessity for the gas that the compressor would provide. We are deeply grateful for PLAN-NE quick and strong response to Enbridge’s attacks. You can read the series of letters below.
