The tribe's historic preservation office attempted to intervene the FERC's review of the pipeline expansion. But the request was filed too late, the agency determined in a January 10 order. "The Commission’s consultation should commence early in the planning process and must recognize the government-to-government relationship between the federal government and tribes. The Commission complied with these requirements by initiating consultation with the Narragansett Indian Tribe," the order stated. The tribe intends to take the case directly to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, Garti told The Republican. The Tennessee Gas Pipeline currently runs through several states, including Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. The expansion affects parts of the pipeline in those three states. Read More on the Story:
