COMPRESSOR STATION AHEAD! by Brian Brock The Newsletter of Franklin Local Vol. VIII, No. 3 Franklin, New York FALL 2014 ‘INDEPENDENT, FEARLESS AND FREE’ WARNING: COMPRESSOR STATION AHEAD! By Brian Brock Franklin residents may have not imagined that a fin- ished Constitution pipeline would be much of a problem – unless they are landowners along the route. It would be just a hundred foot wide clear-cut stretching ten miles across Franklin from Route 357 west of the East Sidney Dam to Route 28 up on Franklin Mountain. Those opinions may change now that a second pipe- line, the Northeast Energy Direct (NED), has been pro- posed alongside the Constitution with a compressor sta- tion in Franklin. The recent request by Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP) for pre-filing of NED with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission included detailed route Kinder Morgan’s Mexico compressor station on the Rockies Express pipeline.

Lovejoy, 1975, pp. 261-268 in: Las Cruces Country, Seager, W. R.; Clemons, R. E.; Callender, J. F.; [eds.], New Mexico Geological Society 26th Annual Fall Field Conference Guidebook, 376 p. This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1975 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

It is our determination that: The alternatives analyzed in this biological evaluation may affect, but are not likely to adversely affect threatened or endangered species or adversely modify designated critical habitat, and are not likely to jeopardize proposed species or adversely modify proposed critical habitat. Furthermore, these alternatives may beneficially affect threatened, endangered, and proposed species and critical habitat. We have further determined for Regional Forester designated sensitive species that: The alternatives analyzed in this biological evaluation may impact individuals, but are not likely to cause a trend towards federal listing or a loss of viability for any sensitive species.

Cuomo, Governor Lead Agencies: The Department of Environmental Conservation Basil Seggos, Commissioner The Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Rose Harvey, Commissioner Partnering Agencies: The Department of Agriculture & Markets The Department of Transportation The Department of State DEFINITION OF OPEN SPACE Open space is defined as land which is not intensively developed for residential, commercial, industrial or institutional use. Open space can be publicly or privately owned. It includes agricultural and forest land, undeveloped coastal and estuarine lands, undeveloped scenic lands, public parks and preserves. It also includes water bodies such as lakes and bays. What land is defined as open space depends in part on its surroundings. A vacant lot or a small marsh can be open space in a big city. A narrow corridor or pathway for walking or bicycling is open space even though it is surrounded by developed areas. And while not strictly open space, this Plan also discusses cultural and historic resources which, along with open space, are part of the heritage of New York State.
