NH 2015 Technical Assistance Grant

Overview

Main Objective

The proposed NED pipeline project would introduce approximately 35 miles of 36" transmission main through eight communities in the NRPC region, which is our project scope area, as well as 5 miles of a smaller 14" lateral that would flow south into Massachusetts. Existing pipeline assets include 20" and 12" main along an approximately seven-mile trench in Pelham, and four miles of 8" main in Hudson. With the advent of the proposed NED pipeline which represents a major expansion of regional gas infrastructure, Nashua's ultimate project goal is to ensure the continued track record of zero major pipeline accidents in the Nashua region, and to minimize the current and future impacts to sensitive environmental areas.
