Monday was the final day for public comment on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) on the Algonquin Incremental Market (AIM) Expansion. As expected, a flood of comments poured in from citizens, elected officials, non-profits, opposition groups, and New York State permitting agencies.
The public outcry against this project was reflected by the comments- with the main crux being that the DEIS is missing reams of information necessary to understand the impact this massive pipeline will have on the health, safety, and financial well-being of the thousands that live along its route.
