EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS
Stop the Pipeline (STP) is a grassroots organization that led the fight to stop the Constitution Pipeline. We won a great victory in April 2016 when the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) denied a required water quality certification. The DEC’s denial was upheld in court proceedings, but in late August 2019, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order that says the DEC had to act on a prior application. This means our success is now in jeopardy. The pipeline must be stopped again. This time FERC’s decision can only be reversed by a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Since its formation in June 2012, STP has been guided by Anne Marie Garti, who has provided free strategic advice, as well as free legal services through the Pace Environmental Litigation Clinic. Taking the fight to the Court of Appeals requires a legal campaign. STP must now raise a minimum of $55,000 to fund the appeals process to stop the pipeline from being built.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN NOW
Take the fight to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
Since 2012, Stop the Pipeline has helped to foster public awareness, explain federal, state and local rules and regulations and provided strategic advice about when and how to engage with the regulators and elected officials.
Take a look at what has been accomplished.
