Thursday 3/10 Schodack Town Board Meeting

Please attend Thursday's 3/10 Schodack Town Board Mtg. 7pm at Town Hall, 265 Schuurman Rd off Rte. 9 & 20 across from the Schodack Plaza.

Basically, the Supervisor and Town Board are still not prone to being creative and aggressive on our behalf in finding and carrying thru on ways to oppose the locating of the NED pipeline and compressor station in Schodack.

In addition to the proposed location of the NED Compressor Station (CS) on Clarks Chapel Rd, just over the Schodack border in Nassau, there are13 potential alternative locations that are in varying stages of consideration for the CS in Schodack, Nassau and Stephentown. Some locations are more likely than others. The 2 most likely alternative locations in Schodack are in East Schodack and on Rte. 9 near Shufelt & Maple Hill roads.

Nassau town officials are pushing back

Nassau

Nassau town officials are pushing back against a planned natural gas pipeline project, asking federal regulators for more time to review un-released confidential plan documents filed this month and alerting the Rensselaer County district attorney that company workers are invoking town authority while trespassing on private property.

On Friday, town Supervisor David Fleming wrote to District Attorney Joel Abelove on a potential trespassing claim against pipeline development Kinder Morgan, and last week, wrote to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to urge that a public comment period set to expire Aug. 31 be extended so town officials can review a deluge of new company documents filed last month.

Fleming said Monday that he has gotten a complaint that survey workers from Kinder Morgan, which wants to build a portion of the 30-inch natural gas Northeast Energy Direct pipeline through southern Rensselaer County, were on private property last week off Reno Road and told the owner that the town had authorized it.

Pipeline Opponents Form Multi-state Alliance

Concerned citizens from three states and over two dozen organizations have joined forces to fight the proposed Kinder Morgan Tennessee Gas Pipeline Northeast Energy Direct (NED) project. The group’s current members hail from New York, Massachusetts and New Hampshire and call themselves The StopNED Coalition to reflect the regional scope of their mission.  “NED is a massive pipeline, extending over 350 miles from Pennsylvania to eastern Massachusetts, and the impacts to homeowners,

A pipeline through Schodack?

There is a public information session coming up, hosted by the company Kinder Morgan, on Monday, February 9, from 6 - 8 pm at Green Meadow Elementary.  The original plan for expansion was along the existing pipeline route, and that crosses through Schodack from west to east.  Now the company wants to lay the new pipe along a power line right-of-way, and with this alternative plan they are planning to build a new compression station in Rensselaer County, quite possibly in Schodack.  The same company has a compression station along Route 66 in Chatham already. The company's filed plans show that the compresssion station could be in the area between Routes 9 and 20 (south of the split) kind of near Shufelt Rd.
