AIR POLLUTION FROM GAS DRILLING WILL AFFECT EVERYONE - - FROM THE CATSKILLS, TO THE HUDSON VALLEY, TO NEW YORK CITY
If you think fracking will not affect you, think again.
The Millennium, Iroquois and Tennessee pipelines will intersect with a proposed NYMarc connector in Orange County in and around the Town of Minisink. This map is a clear visual illustration of the pipeline. There is already an application for one compressor station and more are being considered.
In order to let Governor Cuomo know that we don’t want fracking to ruin our health and our environment, today we are starting a call campaign called “DON’T FRACK FRIDAYS”. Please call the Governor’s office EVERY Friday to let him know that you don’t want fracking in New York State at (518) 474-8390.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) controls the regulation of interstate pipelines. Please click here to tell them not to build a compressor station in Minisink or anywhere else in Orange County because of the potential for serious long-term negative health ramifications to all New Yorkers, especially our children. The deadline to comment is November 14, 2011.
Next month hearings will be conducted regarding the conditions and rules under which gas drilling would be allowed in New York State. We can’t stress enough the importance of having huge turnouts at these hearings. Please reserve these dates on your calendar and plan to attend. You’ll hear more from us as we get closer.
