The proposed route and two alternative routes for Spectra Energy Corp.’s proposed Texas Eastern Transmission (Tetco) natural gas pipeline bisect a “very complicated” 66-acre property in Bayonne, NJ, owned by Texaco Downstream Properties Inc. (TDP) and should be realigned, the Chevron affiliate said in a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission filing. The site, which was previously a lubricant blending facility and light products terminal, “is well along in the approval process” to be redeveloped into a residential development, according to TDP. Chevron requested that the pipeline route be realigned, “preferably off the property, but at a minimum to an area on the property that does not interfere with the ongoing remediation, the unique physical characteristics of the property or the planned redevelopment of the site.” Chevron and Spectra both say they are working together to try to resolve the issue. The project calls for Tetco to build a 16-mile, 30-inch diameter extension from Tetco’s pipeline in Staten Island, NY, through Bayonne and Jersey City in New Jersey to a Consolidated Edison plant in Manhattan, as well as expand Spectra’s Algonquin Gas Transmission system (see NGI, Jan. 4). The proposed facilities would be capable of transporting up to 800 MMcf/d of Marcellus Shale gas to the region and are targeted for service in the fourth quarter of 2013.
