No New Permits for the Gibbstown LNG Export Terminal

With Trump back in power, New Fortress Energy has revived their plans for a fracked gas export terminal in South Jersey. If this project moves forward, highly explosive liquefied natural gas (LNG) would be transported on trucks or rail cars through South Jersey, putting countless lives at risk.

On September 10, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) — including Governor Murphy — will vote on a resolution to extend the permit for this project. Urge Governor Murphy to vote against extending permits for the Gibbstown LNG export terminal!

The DRBC has five voting members: the governors of the four states in the Delaware River Basin and one federal representative. The DRBC is supposed to protect the Delaware River and adjacent communities, but it has betrayed its mission in the past by approving permits for the Gibbstown terminal.

Governor Murphy must protect our communities and reject any new or extended Gibbstown permits!

I urge you to oppose the DRBC resolution to extend permits for the Gibbstown LNG export terminal, which will be voted on at the September 10 meeting of the DRBC.

Six years ago, New Fortress Energy initiated their proposal to transport highly volatile liquefied natural gas (LNG) by train or truck to an export terminal in Gibbstown, Gloucester County. The project was stalled when the Biden administration's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) banned LNG trasnport by rail, reversing an approval granted by the first Trump administration. But with Trump back in power, New Fortress Energy wants a permit extension to revive the project and construct their dock.

LNG is highly explosive and unstable. If this export terminal moves forward, fracked gas from Pennsylvania woud be processed into LNG and transported on trucks or rail cars through South Jersey communities, putting countless lives at risk. Twenty-two tank cars of LNG hold the equivalent energy of the Hiroshima bomb. The proposed transport routes would cross through neighborhoods, past schools, hospitals, and nursing homes.

The DRBC is charged with protecting the Delaware River and adjacent communities. In the name of protecting the Delaware River and all those who live along it, the DRBC must deny this permit extension.

On September 10, please vote to reject any new or extended permits for the Gibbstown fracked gas export terminal!
