In March 2011, work on the expansion of the Tennessee Gas Pipeline in northern New Jersey’s Wawayanda State Park became visible (above).

Tennessee Gas seeks to complete a $2 billion pipeline ("Northeast Upgrade") that will extend 105 miles through Pennsylvania and 23 miles through New Jersey, crossing over several state-owned preserves and parks, including the Appalachian Trail, Monksville Reservoir, Ringwood State Park, and the Ramapo Reservation.
