LATEST NEWS: We have heard from NYSDEC that this will be "public noticed" from Region 7 near the end of June, and there will follow a 30 day comment period. This is not much time. If you can, please look over these documents to assist your knowledge. We need people to make testimony OPPOSING this permit application.

We've just heard that NY State Assembly member Donna Lupardo is joining members of the Western Broome Stakeholders Coalition, NY Friends of Clean Air and Water, and the local chapter of the Sierra Club in asking DEC for a PUBLIC HEARING on this SPDES permit.

Please follow WBESC or NY Friends of Clean Air and Water facebook page for updates.
