Protect the Long Pond Greenbelt
4200
To: PSEG Long Island and Long Island Power Authority.
We the undersigned oppose the PSEG Bridgehampton to Buell proposal to drill a 69 kV Underground Transmission cable through the heart of the Long Pond Greenbelt Nature Preserve. The proposed horizontal directional drilling (HDD) will pass between Long Pond, Deer Drink, and Crooked Pond and beneath a New York Department of Environmental Conservation protected vernal pond, a documented habitat for the NY State endangered tiger salamander. HDD threatens the fragile groundwater systems of this unique coastal plain pond community, one of the most ecologically significant areas in all of New York State with more than 30 rare species of plants and animals. The possibility of a significant frac-out event would affect the entire nature preserve. Instead of drilling through this irreplaceable nature preserve, PSEG has an alternative, option #3, to send the underground cable south along existing roadways. We urge you to choose alternative #3 and protect the Long Pond Greenbelt coastal plain pond system!
To the community of Long Island and anyone else who appreciates the Long Pond Greenbelt, we ask you to write to PSEG-LI-B2BSEQR@pseg.com and encourage them to choose alternative #3 to protect this unique nature preserve.
