Page | 2 Abstract: This is an analysis of the documents produced by scientists and government agencies, and documents made available in the public open houses by Williams and FERC, to understand the impact of the Constitution Pipeline (CP) on the environment, and on the citizens of affected towns, counties and states. The document NTSB/Par-03/01 was useful in the understanding of why the El Paso natural gas pipeline in Carlsbad, New Mexico failed and the extent of the damages. I was able to draw conclusions from that and derive the Minimum Kill Zone (MKZ) and apply it to the proposed Constitution Pipeline. By using Forensic Seismology and the CP MKZ, I was able to come up with the potential disaster facing the Town of Worcester, NY, and then apply that to all the proposed routes of the CP. Areas of Inquiry: I. Pre-Disaster: Asks FERC to calculate the impact of the knowledge of the CP MKZ on the psychological health of the citizens, and the economic impact along all of the proposed routes. II. Post-Disaster: Describes what would be destroyed by a pipeline explosion in the Town of Worcester, NY, and asks FERC questions of physics of pipeline explosions with different starting scenarios, the economic impacts, the assets needed and cost in preparing for inevitable disasters, and the projected psychological impacts and the costs incurred by such a disaster by using the data from Page | 3 disaster of The World Trade Center 9-11-2001 (9/11). III. One of FERCs concerns is the impact to the environment. Not only does the CP route M travel through the watershed of Worcester, NY, but for most of its length it is located in a major watershed. How would a disaster at any part of its length impact those who are down- gradient? IV. Geological faults in the primary route (the blue line on Williams maps) and alternative route M (the red line on the map). Both routes run parallel to major seismic faults and minor faults and are also crossed by major and minor faults. This alone precludes building this pipeline as it is impossible to know the interactions of these faults and to prepare ...
