The pipeline project has been stopped and the site will not be used for this gas line. I am exhausted but deeply grateful that we held our ground against such intense pressure. We have to keep watching the site to ensure they honor this commitment.

As a resident who lives about a half a mile away from the quarry at West Roxbury Crushed Stone, I can attest to the fact that the blasts are felt through a wide area of West Roxbury. Putting a 750ps. pipeline next to the quarry is asking for a disaster.

Please stop the construction of the M&R station and the pipeline which is in a very populated area and next to the only active Quarry in a major city in the US. The entire idea of it is insane. Spectra has a very questionable safety record on top of the other issues.

This property has been deemed as Centre Marsh Park , By Urban Wilds Natural Areas. Marshes andwet lands AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE BUILT ON!! This area would make a great dog park.. Maybe Spectra Energy would like to Donate this 3.72acres as a taxd deduction. Bobbie

There is no need for natural gas expansion in MA. This is a case of environmental injustice, unfairly burdening a community while simultaneously committing us to a future of cataclysmic climate change.

With the Mass Dept. of Energy Resources studying if there's even a real NEED for pipelines, and mandates for more wind and solar, and with the peak demand times being just a few hours during the coldest weather, there is NO NEED for this project, the other Spectras OR the Kinder Morgans. Enough!

I wish I felt more confident that FERC would act responsibly on this matter and stop or at least reroute this pipeline. The fact that the FERC Chair was previous CEO of National Grid, which will profit greatly from the pipeline, makes me skeptical.

I oppose the pipeline that they plan to install in West Roxbury.
