To New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC):
Deny the air and water permits for the Spectra Algonquin
(AIM) pipeline and infrastructure expansion!
 Deny Spectra Energy’s Title V application to expand the compressor
stations in Southeast and Stony Point, NY
(Title V Draft Air Permits ID: 3-3730-00060/00013 and 3-3928-00001/00027)
 Gov. Cuomo, NYSDEC and NYS Department of Health recently banned fracking in NY due to
health risks, so the same health review should be required for exposure to toxins from
compressor stations, metering & regulating stations, pigging stations, valves and other
associated gas infrastructure.
 The two huge compressor stations are already emitting large quantities of methane, carbon
dioxide, formaldehyde and Volatile Organic Compounds, including benzene, toluene and
many others.
 Severe health effects associated with compressor stations emissions: nosebleeds,
headaches, dizziness, skin rashes, respiratory, developmental, neurological and
cardiovascular problems, leukemia, breast, kidney and liver cancer.

complete stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) for review as required by the
