Calls for state assistance with road assessments before drilling to prevent uncompensated damage to local infrastructure.

I'm here today that we call upon you the importance of our remaining local authority and ask for the assistance of the DEC with the issue of road assessment and greenery prior to drilling. There's no municipality that I know of that can afford excessive and uncompensated damage to their infrastructure and remain solid.

Supports continued New York State Electric and Gas resiliency work, saying that it reduced the frequency and duration of outages.

“The Town of Tusten is happy with the results of NYSEG’s work,” said Town of Tusten Supervisor Ben Johnson. “It has reduced the number and length of outages when they do happen. We look forward to the continuation of the work.“ Part of the upgrades include the installation of an automated system with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), a means of providing data and communication with the Company’s Energy Control Center (ECC) in Binghamton. SCADAs sense where an outage has occurred in the grid, restore customers in zones automatically, and reduce outage times for customers.

Said the Town Board had no position for or against natural-gas drilling but had an obligation to protect areas under its remaining pollution-well law.

It took time for me to explain to them about our 23 year old New York State Conservation Laws and the fact that the only part of government left to govern was our roads from this law and our real property law. The Town Board in the Town of Tusten has taken no stand for or against natural gas drilling, but does realize that we have an obligation to all of our residents to protect those areas that we still may under our remaining polluting wells law.
