To the Editor:

I attended the public hearing in Eagleswood Township regarding the application of NJ Natural Gas to install a 12-inch gas pipeline on Dock Road. The pipeline would continue under the bay for approximately 3 miles to Alabama Avenue on LBI.

Residents of Dock Road attempted to point out the many difficulties of attempting to build anything in the salt marsh and the existing roadway. Sinking structures and flooding are just the start of the problems they contend with.
