Overview: The Franklin Environmental Commission meeting focused on the contentious Onyx warehouse proposal, which has been postponed to April 2nd due to the planning board’s inactivity in March. Concerns were expressed about the project’s proximity to pipelines, with Buckeye, the pipeline owner, highlighting potential risks. The proposal, which initially reduced the pipeline distance from 21 feet to 40 feet, faces scrutiny, especially with Somerset Run and Canal Walk organizations contesting the project. The commission doubted the application’s approval, citing logistical issues with tractor-trailer access and the need to import HP soil, complicating pipeline repairs.
