Septa Is Being Reckless With Our Future Air Quality and #350Philly Is Holding Them Accountable


September 28th members of 350 Philly addressed their concerns about the proposed and illegally started Nicetown natural gas plant during Septa public board meeting. 350 Philly is working to hold Septa future facility plans accountable to our communities.

Tammy Murphy, Medical Outreach Coordinator at Philadelphia Physicians for Social Responsibility explained the new obligations created for Septa under the recent PA Environmental Rights Amendment. Tammy stated that Septa is obligated to respect people’s right to clean air, and to "conserve and maintain" PA's "public natural resources"  for the "benefit of all people," including future generations. She asserted that building this natural gas power plant--especially without first conducting a full health impact study and a comprehensive analysis of alternatives--would violate the rights enshrined in the PA Constitution.


1.       It appears that contractors are laying a foundation for the gas plant prior to AMS granting a permit.
2.       Any construction work that serves to create a permanent structure for a facility that will pollute the area is illegal until air quality regulators issue a permit for that facility.

Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportataion authority August and Year to date results of operations, Passenger revenue was $3 million lower than budget. Septa acquired ownership of portions of the former Reading Railroad and Penn Central Railroad systems in 1976 with utility licenses with rental payments with PECO. These utiliy licenses are expired. Septa submitted demands to PECO to enter into a new licenses. so please stop telling me SEPTA is beign forced by PECO to build the gas plant in nicetown.Great jobPeter Winslow, and Tammy Murphy from Philadelphia Physicians for Social Responsibility and all of 350 Philadelphia
