Greetings:

I write respectfully to provide for your review hazardous materials spill information obtained from your Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) which details fires, explosions and illegal wastewater discharge hazards at a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage facility reportedly operated by Inergy Midstream LLC in Bath, NY. LPG is reportedly distributed from this site via truck and rail.

I've said from the beginning that I'm pro-economic development, pro-business and I've supported Natural Gas development in New York State from the start.

In everything I do as State Senator, I try to take a bottom-up approach. I've spent hours meeting with stakeholders and listening to all sides of the Town of Fenton compressor station issue, from community residents to local government officials to school district representatives to representatives of NG Advantage.

Governor Cuomo Please DENY All Fossil Fuel Infrastructure Approvals

Dear Governor Cuomo:

I am writing to respectfully request that you deny all fossil fuel infrastructure projects in New York State. As a physician who cares for patients who are struggling with life-threatening illnesses, many of which (cancer, cardiac disease, pulmonary disease, etc) are impacted by environmental factors, it is clear to me that we must prioritize human health, and thus the safety of our environment, over all other concerns.

Dear Supervisor Leifer:

I wrote to you on February 22, 2017 to request that you take urgent action to suspend or withdraw all Town of Dryden approvals required for the expansion of the Borger Compressor Station as part of the proposed Dominion New Market Pipeline Project.

Rescind the Dominion New Market pipeline permits immediately!!!!!

Dear Governor Cuomo:

Fracking waste water: This is the end of clean drinking water! Stop this please!

Greetings:

My name is Dorothy P and I live at __ St, Groton, New York.

I write because it is absolutely essential for our own clean drinking water in the future that we stop the disposal of fracking wastes. This is far more important than energy supply. We cannot drink water contaminated with fracked gas or oil wastes. Underground waste disposal of these radioactive and toxic wastes is a tragedy waiting to happen. Once they get into the groundwater, they cannot be cleaned up.
