LEHIGHTON, Pennsylvania — Linda Christman looked across the Pohopoco Creek and traced a line from the crest of a ridge, down the wooded slope, beneath the rippling water and up again through Beltzville State Park where ospreys nest along the shore.
This is one part of the proposed path of the 120-mile PennEast Pipeline, which is designed to deliver gas from booming fracking fields in the north-east of Pennsylvania.
Campaigners against the pipeline, like Christman, fear construction will leave a 50ft swath of dead space running through the forest, a brown, barren strip across the state.
“If the vegetation is stripped back it will turn the whole thing into a gully and all the silt will run down,†threatening to clog the creek and destroy its biodiversity, she said.
