The project has been called “morally repugnant,” that anyone supporting it is supporting private interests over human health. Critical infrastructure like the brand new Fore River Bridge and the MWRA sewage pumping station along with homes and schools would be subject to increased air and noise pollution along with strong odor issues that would - setting aside the health and environmental impacts - most definitely decrease property values. Located in a flood zone, the area is already struggling with industrial pollution and higher cancer risks. Leaks and explosions from similar compressors have been widely documented and the effects of one in such a densely-populated area so close to the waterfront could be catastrophic. The proposed location for this compressor would be the most densely populated site for a compressor ever built in the United States. The goal for this specific compressor station would be to move the Enbridge Energy Partners’ (formerly known as Spectra Energy) Algonquin Gas Transmission and Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline systems through the Northeast to be burned in Canada. The purpose of a compressor station is to increase the pressure in the pipes to increase the speed of the natural gas in order for it to be able to travel further distances. The event’s purpose is to raise awareness of the environmental and public safety concerns surrounding the proposed frack-gas compressor station planned to be constructed next to the Fore River Bridge.įrack-gas compressor stations are typically constructed in less-populated rural areas due to the high risks associated with these structures.
