North Weymouth, MA – Early this morning, over 200 members of Fore River Residents Against the Compressor Station (FRRACS) and allies gathered for a mass demonstration at Enbridge’s compressor station site to call on Baker and the DEP to immediately halt construction on the project. Multiple people were arrested for blocking the gate to the construction site. Two other people were on site for a more than an hour, locked to pieces of construction equipment. As a result of today’s action, construction was stopped and workers left the site.
Organizers allege that Enbridge, a Canadian corporation, has a long track record of violating state law and Indigenous sovereignty. The Atlantic Bridge project, with Weymouth at the center, would export fracked-gas to Europe by way of so-called Nova Scotia where a gas storage cavern would illegally violate Mi’kmaq treaty rights.
There are concerns about the impacts of building this facility on a toxic waste dump and the additional air quality hazards in a community already plagued by industry. Activists believe that the Weymouth compressor would exacerbate climate change by opening a channel for fracked-gas exports. Many at the demonstration today voiced solidarity with the Wetsu’wet’en Indigenous people fighting another gas export pipeline slated to violate their lands.
After years of public opposition, construction began in December on the natural gas compressor station in Weymouth.
Opponents criticized the permitting of the compressor station, a project that's created controversy in South Shore communities, environmental and public health groups, and elected officials on the city and state level.
