DEC Hearing

For those who were not able to attend, a recording of the DEC Legislative Public Hearing on Lafarge's proposed modernization, held Jan 20th at the RCS High School, is now available on the WGXC website, here.

This was the last time to make a public statement on Lafarge's Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the modernization of their Ravena plant. However, the DEC will continue to accept written comments until Feb 22, 2011. Information on how to submit written comments is below. The outcome of this modernization will affect this region for decades. It is vital that we speak up now and share our concerns with DEC during the public comment period.

Many thanks to Sam Sebren for recording this important hearing and making it available to the public online.
