ALBANY- Several hundred gallons of gasoline spilled at a terminal at the Port of Rensselaer Thursday evening. Firefighters tell us the spill happened while a tanker was being filled at the Buckeye terminal around 5:30 this evening. Things were quickly contained and most of the gasoline went into an underground tank. A HAZMAT team was called in as a precaution, but no buildings or homes in the area were ever in danger. We've been assured none of the gasoline spilled into the river. Advertise:

NED Compressor Station may be relocated in Schodack

Hopefully, by now you have learned that the NED Compressor Station may be relocated in Schodack rather than Nassau as previously announced.

Maple Hill HS  being 1.6 miles from this location.

The Nassau location is a terrible spot for the NED Compressor Station and must be opposed, but so are the proposed locations in Schodack including the Rte. 9 (near Shufelt & Maple Hill Rd.) location and the 3 possible East Schodack locations between County Rte. 7 and Burden Lake Road. We need to oppose all the locations in Nassau and Schodack. All of them will hurt families and diminish property values and create health concerns.
