Lawsuits target New Jersey pipeline backed by Trump and N.Y. governor The Center Square Published: November 19, 2025 verve231

(The Center Square) — Green groups are suing to block a proposed natural gas pipeline that would run through sections of New Jersey to New York City after Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul gave a green light to the previously rejected project.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second District, seeks to overturn a decision by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to approve a water quality certification for the Northeast Supply Enhancement pipeline, despite having rejected the plan twice. Opponents of the pipeline filed a similar lawsuit against New Jersey environmental regulators, who also approved the project.
