Townships with existing Resolutions or Statements Opposing the Pilgrim Pipeline.
Oakland, Parsippany, Montville and Watchung

Oakland Mayor Linda Schwager said in the first week of October  “The Pilgrim Pipeline puts our residents, our drinking water and our first responders at risk. The Ramapo River Basin Aquifer is Oaklands most precious resource and our town sits on top of a major fault line. Could you imagine an earthquake causing a rupture, leak or explosion? A pipeline spill could pollute our aquifer and render it undrinkable for decades. When executives from Pilgrim came to our previous council meeting they were unable to address any of our concerns, and just kept repeating ‘it’s safe’.” Passing this resolution became a logical choice for us, and an important first step in protecting our residents from this dangerous project”.

In a rare public appearance of Pilgrim Pipeline 
representatives, an overflow crowd of local 
residents and environmentalists concerned about
a proposed oil pipeline through New Jersey, 
as well as union workers seeking jobs, packed 
the borough hall meeting room Tuesday night to
hear from Pilgrim Pipeline representatives.
