The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection held a Waterways Hearing on Wednesday to discuss a Chapter 91 Waterways permit that was granted to Enbridge for construction of a compressor station in Weymouth which a Superior Court Justice vacated and sent back to the department.
DEP Attorney David Bragg told the presiding officer that the site was the best possible location for the facility.
The attorney for the Algonquin project, Nicholas Cramb, concurred with that determination.
However, opposing council Michael Hayden says the site was chosen as a way to avoid further environmental oversight.
No ruling was made at the end of the hearing with officials saying the final decision lies with the Secretary of the DEP.
