Opponents of the proposed Constitution natural gas pipeline pressured the state Tuesday to deny critical permits for the project, claiming the Department of Environmental Conservation withheld key project documents from public review this spring.
Dozens of opponents from the four counties along the pipeline’s 124-mile path, from the Southern Tier to Schoharie County, marched outside DEC headquarters on Broadway, while lawyers representing an anti-pipeline coalition demanded DEC reopen a public comment period on water quality permits, a step that would delay any potential state decision.
