Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo
New York State Governor
The Capitol
Albany, NY 12224

Dear Governor Cuomo:

My name is R O and I live in Kerhonkson, NY.

I write today because I am very upset at the prospect of the Dominion pipeline construction going forward, in spite of the obvious environmental damage and ongoing risk.

I request that you DENY the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Dominion New Market Pipeline and all other fossil fuel infrastructure projects in New York which require that certification because your Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has a well-documented inability to fulfill the applicable provisions of the U. S. Clean Water Act.

Dear Governor Cuomo:

My name is A G and I live at 16 ___ Road in Wappingers Falls.

I write today because frankly I'm terrified that what has been happening in Pennsylvania will happen in New York. As an economist, I follow the NatGas industry in PA. The spills and accidental discharges in PA waters is literally a daily event, and it's documented for the public to see on their DEP website

I request that you DENY the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Dominion New Market Pipeline and all other fossil fuel infrastructure projects in New York which require that certification because your Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has a well-documented inability to fulfill the applicable provisions of the U. S. Clean Water Act.

Dear Governor Cuomo:

My name is E W and I live at ___ Place in Lynbrook.

I write today because I believe New York State should be a true leader in renewable energy forms. Continuing to build fossil fuel infrastructure does our state, our country and our planet a disastrous disservice, and puts the lie to any "clean energy" initiatives an administration might tout.

I request that you DENY the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Dominion New Market Pipeline and all other fossil fuel infrastructure projects in New York which require that certification because your Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has a well-documented inability to fulfill the applicable provisions of the U. S. Clean Water Act.

Dear Governor Cuomo:

My name is P M and I live at ___ Rd. in Castleton-on-Hudson.

I write today because I'm concerned about the continuing reliance on burning fossil fuels. As you already know, this activity is degrading those elements of our ecosphere required for sustaining life. Air, water, and soil pollution is detrimental and the more time and money we waste on expanding our reliance on gas, the less time and money we'll have to get to the solutions.

I request that you DENY the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Dominion New Market Pipeline and all other fossil fuel infrastructure projects in New York which require that certification because your Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has a well-documented inability to fulfill the applicable provisions of the U. S. Clean Water Act.

Dear Governor Cuomo:

My name is R __ and I live at ___ Road, Woodstock, NY.

I write today because I am frustrated and overwhelmed with how many times I have to keep writing these letters. We need you to govern for the people.

I request that you DENY the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Dominion New Market Pipeline and all other fossil fuel infrastructure projects in New York which require that certification because your Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has a well-documented inability to fulfill the applicable provisions of the U. S. Clean Water Act.

Dear Governor Cuomo:

My name is J C and I live in Vestal.

I am writing today because I am very concerned about the future sources of energy in New York State. In order to meet crucial climate goals, we must eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels as quickly as possible. It makes no sense to continue to build fossil fuel infrastructure that will keep us dependent on fossil fuels for decades to come.

In order to do this and to protect our state from further harm to our water resources, I request that you DENY the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Dominion New Market Pipeline and all other fossil fuel infrastructure projects in New York which require that certification.

Dear Governor Cuomo:

My name is J M, and I live in Endicott, NY.

I write today because we simply cannot allow new gas pipelines to jeopardize our health and safety now and in the future in this beautiful state. I was thrilled when you did the right thing with the Constitution Pipeline and am asking you to step up to the plate again for the good of all New York residents.

I request that you DENY the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Dominion New Market Pipeline and all other fossil fuel infrastructure projects in New York which require that certification because your Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has a well-documented inability to fulfill the applicable provisions of the U. S. Clean Water Act.

Dear Governor Cuomo:

My name is M B and I live at 888 _th Ave Apt New York, NY.

I write today because We New Yorkers have the best water in the world !

We need to keep it the best.

Water does not know politics, or property lines, above or below the surface.

Please do not permit any fossil fuel extraction in our beautiful state.

I request that you DENY the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Dominion New Market Pipeline and all other fossil fuel infrastructure projects in New York which require that certification because your Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has a well-documented inability to fulfill the applicable provisions of the U. S. Clean Water Act.

Dear Governor Cuomo:

My name is J R and I live at ___, Mahopac, NY 10541.

I write today because I am extremely concerned that my children and grandchildren and all future genereations may not survive unless all fossil fuels are kept in the ground. Your approval of fossil fuel projects instead of support for the further development of renewable energy puts our lives in danger. You were elected to consider the health and safety of all NYS residents to be of primary importance, and certainly to consider that more than the profits of the dirty energy companies.

I request that you DENY the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed Dominion New Market Pipeline and all other fossil fuel infrastructure projects in New York which require that certification because your Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has a well-documented inability to fulfill the applicable provisions of the U.

Dear Governor Cuomo:

My name is __ L-R and I live in Trumansburg, NY.

I write today because I CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF NEW YORK: THE SAFETY OF IT'S ENVIRONMENT, AND IT'S PEOPLE, AS YOU ALSO SHOULD!!
