The Burlington County team studying the onshore impacts of exploration for oil and gas on the outer continental shelf essayed five tasks- 1. literature study, 2. inventory of present county energy facilities, 3, analysis of inventory, production and siting potential and needs, 4. coordination and information exchange with the State, other counties, Burlington County municipalities and the general public and, 5. Recommendations concerning energy facility siting.Burlington County's objectives were to encourage and obtain beneficial energy facilities with assured environmental safeguards. All of the county area was considered environmentally sensitive, but great priority was set on ensuring the environmental protection of the Pinelands, wetlands and agricultural areas.Present probability does not indicate heavy onshore impact for the County from oil-gas exploration and energy facility siting. A pipeline right-of-way along major highways seems most probable with the placement of a heliport, gas scrubber or major refinery as remote possibilities. Potential exists for siting various support facilities along the Delaware River.The need for continued assistance and information to municipalities to prepare enabling or exclusionary ordinances and to understand the major issues of energy supply and conservation is strongly indicated.
