NYS Dep. of Health Says it Needs a Few More Weeks
|
|
Dear Friends and Natural Gas Supporters,
Attached below are statements from DEC Commissioner Martens and Department of Health Commissioner Shah. Commissioner Shah says he still needs a few weeks to complete the health review. DEC says if DOH finds that the SGEIS adequately addresses health concerns, the SGEIS can be adopted and permits issued 10 days later.
We are extremely disappointed that after 4 1/2 years, the state failed to meet another deadline. The JLCNY will be monitoring these issues on a daily basis and will continue to evaluate our plans to commence a lawsuit against the state.

Demand Damages for the 5 yrs of lost income from the drilling from NYS
and he has the gall to mock us with his current TV budget ad that says "jobs, jobs, jobs" for upstate. he, Martens, and Shah have all been drinking the RFK Jr/NRDC/Park Foundation Kool-Aid.
Shah will stretch this 11th hour "health study" from "a few weeks" to about 6 months. and let's not forget about the next circus public "hearing" and 45 day comment period where the antis will dump another 250K pages of bogus paper (from all over the world) on the DEC. so that's another year out, and THEN Cuomo will decide HVHF is too dangerous and ban it, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
and/or in the mean time Martens will permit a well prior to the SGEIS issuance as a setup to get the antis their open-ended court ordered drilling injunction.
we can't force them to allow HVHF but we can now show a pattern of financial damage for purely political reasons.
