“In accordance with NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act), FERC conducted a review of environmental impacts that could result from the construction and operation of the proposed facilities,” said Hanley. Instead, she mentioned FERC’s work on environmental safety. Hanley did not answer the Transcript’s questions about whether gas pipelines can release heavy metals, mercury or lead and whether Spectra has conducted testing to find out.
She also said that, “The AIM Project (Algonquin Incremental Market) continues the Algonquin Gas Transmission (Algonquin) system’s compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, which protect human health, including children, the elderly, and sensitive populations.”

Medical group tackles health concerns of West Roxbury Lateral gas pipeline Timeline and map of the West Roxbury Lateral gas pipeline She did not answer whether or not the assessments should take place, nor did she give specific examples of health risks. Hanley was asked what the possible health risks are for communities near gas pipelines such as the West Roxbury Lateral and if she thought comprehensive health assessments should be performed prior to the creation of infrastructure projects like Spectra’s pipeline. Instead, the Transcript was emailed responses that placed much of the responsibility for health and safety decisions with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Several specific questions about what the possible health risks might be for communities near pipelines were not answered directly. The Transcript recently asked Spectra Energy spokeswoman Marylee Hanley via email about the health concerns detailed by Massachusetts Health Care Providers Against Fracked Gas, as well as members of Stop the West Roxbury Lateral Pipeline and other concerned groups.
