Brookfielders oppose plan to expand natural gas compressor station near middle school

Opposition is mounting in town to stop the planned expansion of a natural gas compressor station located near homes and just 1,900 feet from Whisconier Middle School. Two steel pipelines enter and exit the compressor station: The Algonquin pipepline, which was built in 2008, comes in from the southwest, and the Iroquois pipeline, which was built in 2009, comes down from the north. The point at which they meet is a compressor station on an 80-acre property at 78 High Meadow Lane. The compressor station is owned by Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P. While no new pipeline is proposed as part of this project, Iroquois wants to more than double the capacity of the compressor station — to receive an additional 125 million cubic feet per day of natural gas, according to an operating permit filed with the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
