Rally and Meeting Against Fracking Infrastructure –DEC meeting on LNG regs.

The NYS DEC are considering regulations and permits for proposed Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities in New York State. This is just one example of a massive fracking infrastructure build out in the state. Nat Gas pipelines, compressor stations, wastewater treatment, powerplant conversions, the LPG storage facility in Seneca Lake and now LNG export facilities are in the works and are all a part of the attempt to bring fracking into the state.

We need a big show of public resistance and we need everyone to attend the meeting and rally at the first of 2 informational meetings and then hearing in Albany (on 10/30) on the proposed LNG facilities in New York.
*** We will also need your attendance at the hearing in Albany at DEC Headquarters on 10/30-info to be announced.

From the DEC website:
“Notice is hereby given that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) is proposing to adopt 6 NYCRR Part 570 to implement a permitting program for the siting, construction, and operation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities in New York State (NYS). LNG facilities are those that either store LNG in a tank system or convert LNG into natural gas through vaporization. The two types of facilities that NYS DEC expects to permit most frequently include facilities to fuel trucks and facilities that store LNG as a backup heating fuel.”
