    Pineland Commission approves pipeline

    Yes I agree A is much better.Route C is through very nice woods and the last thing we need through there is another line.Some of the woods first rate barrens.

    Down my way I can show you areas that are more barrens outside their designated area then whats in their designated area.Areas that have no protection whatsoever.Millville and Vineland both set on Cohansey Aquifer and wherever the woods have not been disturbed with earth moving machines and are...
