Boston, MA – U.S. Representative Stephen F. Lynch (MA-08) released the following statement after Enbridge announced that a third unplanned gas release occurred at the Weymouth Compressor Station yesterday morning:
“Yesterday morning the Weymouth Compressor Station had yet another unplanned gas release, making this the third “blow out” event since they began operations 8 months ago. Every accident at the Weymouth Compressor Station endangers the lives and health of local residents and surrounding communities and these so-called blow outs have become a dangerous pattern of releasing harmful gas into the nearby residential neighborhood. It is completely unacceptable to allow Enbridge to continue their operations. I have reached out to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration for more details about this accident but the only response that will protect nearby residents would be to order the Weymouth Compressor Station to shut down immediately.”
