The location of this site is directly across the Delaware Rive from Delaware County, PA so of concern to the citizens.

NJ DEP will host a hybrid Public Hearing on the draft permit May 14. You can sign up now to speak, either in person on virtually.

If approved, these caverns will store 26.8 MILLION gallons of liquid gases in two new underground caverns. This is more than four times the volume of underground storage their one cavern supplies now, bringing the total of underground gas storage to over 32 million gallons. This would be the largest underground cavern liquid gas storage complex in New Jersey. And would be located under lots of other infrastructure, including the proposed Gibbstown Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Export Terminal. The site is located right up against local schools and parks, and where people live, work, conduct business. And is less than 3 miles from the environmental justice community of Paulsboro. This proposal has large regional implications, will release air pollution, and puts hundreds of thousands of people and the Delaware River environment in jeopardy should there be an uncontrolled release!

Liquid petroleum gases (LPGs) include butane, propane and ethane, among other gases, but do NOT include Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), which is prohibited under NJ regulations. LPGs are flammable, potentially explosive, and routinely release pollution through venting and flaring.
