Pipeline Traverses Kakiat County Park in Montebello residential neighborhood and Viola Elementary School
In light of a expansion project proposed by Algonquin Gas Transmission Corporation for its pipeline facility in northwestern Ramapo, two Rockland County legislators introduced a resolution to urge Algonquin to submit plans to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for a secondary means of access to its facility. The resolution introduced by Vice Chairman Alden H. Wolfe and Legislator Douglas J. Jobson also urges FERC to reject the application for expansion in the absence of a plan for secondary access. The resolution was unanimously passed by the County Legislature at its May 15th meeting. Algonquin presently has an application before FERC for approval of an expansion to the facility, which serves as a hub to interconnect …

Going green can often help sell a home more quickly.
Many households still tend to shy away from adopting green living habits for fear they’ll be too hard, time-consuming, or expensive. In reality, there are many green habits that are easy, inexpensive, and will help you sell your home faster. Cutting down on energy usage is often a great way to save money. Do you know that many buyers today will ask a seller how much they pay each month on their utilities? Some might even go so far as to ask for copies of the homeowners utility bills. In order to make this often large amount of money seem more reasonable, going green can help. Consider “greening” up your appliances. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, getting rid of old and outdated appliances can save thousands of dollars per…

NCR presented report to government leaders.
At the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) annual assessment this week, it stated the Entergy Indian Point Nuclear Energy Plant is operated within the bounds set by regulations,. However, the NRC also noted over two dozen issues that were described as low risk and needing attention by the operator but not significant enough to require additional agency oversight. Rockland County Legislature Chairwoman Harriet Cornell attended the NRC report to government leaders on the plant's performance last year and actions to be taken in the wake of the disaster in Fukushima, Japan. After hearing from priority recommendations for nuclear power plants throughout the United States, Cornell said, “I am pleased that the NRC has set an aggressive schedule…
The public duked it out at Thursday night's long and heated forum surrounding the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's annual assessment of Indian Point.
Eleven thousand jobs created by a power plant. Eighteen million lives affected in the New York metro area by its demise. Those were the main numbers the protestors – of which there were many at Thursday night's annual public hearing on Indian Point – were throwing around. The protestors were louder, or least more organized, than the pro-nuclear folks. They were also more colorful. There were the Raging Grannies with their purposely frumpy clothes and song (a gimmick, admitted one, but anything to get the message heard). Some Japanese people wore hazmat suits emblazoned with red nuclear symbols, a powerful reminder of the Fukushima disaster and the fact that Japan's gone fully non-nuclear since. As of two weeks ago, the country closed its…

The recall is nationwide.
Thousands of crib tents sold by several major retailers are being recalled due to a "serious safety risk," state and federal officials said Thursday. The state Department of Consumer Protection is alerting consumers about a nationwide voluntary recall announced by The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and five major retailers.
