SHUT DOWN TWO POWER PLANTS IN THE SOUTH BRONX Around 15 years ago the community organized to stop four New York Power Authority power plants from being sited on our waterfront by then Governor Pataki. These methane gas facilities that poison our air and block our waterfront were allowed to proceed as “temporary.” We now have a chance to stop two of the four power plants (those at Harlem River Yards) from being re-permitted! We have 10 days to submit 100 emails against the re-permitting of these power plants and in favor of a public hearing (which will only take place if we submit enough comments.) CLICK HERE TO EMAIL COMMENTS (draft language in body of email) If link doesn’t work, cut and paste the below into an email. TO: DEP.R2@dec.ny.gov CC: southbronxunite@gmail.com SUBJECT: Application ID: 2-6007-00726/00003 To Whom It May Concern: I urge you to reject the re-permitting of the two Harlem River Yards power plants located at E. 132nd Street & Robert F. Kennedy Bridge 688 E 132nd Street.  These plants were supposed to be temporary; they have a capacity of over 80 MW (not the 79.9 MW reported); and they significantly pollute the air of an environmentally overburdened community.  Further, these power plants stand in conflict with the volume of pedestrians that will use the soon-to-be-opened Randall’s Island “Connector,” and they also stand in conflict with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation 2014 Draft Open Space Plan, which has prioritized the Mott Haven-Port Morris Waterfront Plan to provide community access to the waterfront and mitigate climate change storm surges in a flood zone. Finally, I respectfully request that you hold a public hearing on this matter to enable the broader community to provide comments. Sincerely, // END PREHEADER BEGIN HEADER // See video here for background on the issue.

We have a chance to finally stop half of the 4 power plants on our waterfront that Governor Pataki forced on us. We marched, we sued, we sat-in, but the GE methane gas facilities that poison our air and block our waterfront were built.

We can stop two of them from being re-permitted!

Say: 

Shut down the 2 Harlem River Yards Plants trying to be re-permitted.  They pollute the air, were supposed to be temporary and have a capacity of OVER 80 MW.  Have a public hearing and do not re-permit them. And they conflict with the NYSDEC Open Space Plan.
