Near Arthur Kill Road and Johnson Street, old orange and black signage reads: \u201cWarning Liquid Petroleum Pipe Line Do Not Anchor Or Dredge.\u201d <\/p>\n
The pipeline, owned by Georgia\u2019s Colonial Pipeline Company, was recently spotted by a citizen who traversed near the water\u2019s edge. <\/p>\n
Surrounded by rocks, forgotten tires, and clusters of birds, the pipeline can be seen extending into the water, partially coated in what appears to be moss or algae. <\/p>\n

The Advance\/SILive.com reached out to the Colonial Pipeline Company to learn the pipeline\u2019s status.<\/p>\n
The pipeline no longer transports petroleum products and \u201cis filled with inert, low-pressure nitrogen,\u201d a Colonial Pipeline Company spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are aware that a small portion of pipe is exposed during low tide and we continue to monitor its safe condition,\u201d the spokesperson added. <\/p>\n
This pipeline is not to be confused with the Northeast Supply Enhancement Pipeline owned by Williams and Transco, which will run along a 17.4-mile underwater stretch through the Raritan and Lower New York bays, passing Staten Island\u2019s shores. <\/p>\n
That pipeline will ferry gas across state lines to improve gas reserves for parts of New York City and Long Island. <\/p>\n
The gas itself will not be given to Staten Islanders, though National Grid will bump gas bills 3.5% for the borough to help pay for the pipeline. <\/p>\n
This, however, doesn\u2019t deter National Grid from their stance that the pipeline will help Staten Islanders in the long run. <\/p>\n
Currently gas is being shared across Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, a National Grid spokesperson said. <\/p>\n
The spokesperson also emphasized the possibility for $2.5 billion in energy savings for New York\u2019s downstate residents, like Staten Islanders, over the next 15 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 An imposing sign and exposed pipeline off Arthur Kill Road may cause passersby to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":118293,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":{"0":"post-118292","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-staten-island","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-new-york-city","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-staten-island","12":"tag-staten-island-headlines","13":"tag-staten-island-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118292"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118292\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
