Environmental advocates say a liquified natural gas (LNG) terminal project in Eddystone Borough is moving forward along the Delaware River and that its impact will have quite a reach in Delaware County and beyond. A webinar hosted by the Delaware Riverkeeper Network and Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living (CRCQL) shared information the groups gathered over the past year through Right-to-Know requests. “The LNG processing facility that is proposed and its related infrastructure, export operations and enormous … ships jeopardize the entire region,” Tracy Carluccio, deputy director of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, said. Carluccio said that Eddystone Borough Council passed a resolution in April to acquire property at 1001 Industrial Highway via eminent domain, and the planned facility would produce 7.2 million tons per year of liquefied natural gas with a storage capacity of 320,000 cubic meters and an anticipated processing volume of 1.1 billion cubic feet of gas per day on an approximately 100-acre site. The environmental advocates behind the webinar say they are also planning to attend the July 13 Eddystone Borough Council meeting.
