Williams announces permits for Northeast Supply Enhancement project

Williams (WMB) announced today a “significant regulatory milestone” for its Northeast Supply Enhancement project. The company said it secured the Clean Water Act Section 401 and 404 permits from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection as well as the Section 401 Water Quality Certification and related permits from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. In parallel, Williams added that it continues to advance the Constitution Pipeline project, a pipeline in upstate New York that will serve markets in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont and Maine. The company has withdrawn its current water permit application with NYSDEC and is preparing to follow up with additional filings to ensure that this critical infrastructure project obtains the regulatory approvals needed for construction and operation.
