KJ WELL PUBLIC HEARINGS

Emotional...

There’s that word again.

Your Auntie was there and she heard it.

The lawyer representing the DEC (referred to as “Judge”) was not too happy when people applauded for some of the speakers. The "Judge" stated that she knows that this is an “emotional” issue but would appreciate if the audience would hold their applause.

No one speaking was being emotional and the audience was not unruly or emotional. They were merely showing support for what was being said.

What is the issue? The issue is that the Village of Kiryas Joel is seeking a permit for the Mountainville Well. This well is to be the mandatory back-up for their hook-up to the pipeline. BUT as a few speakers pointed out, this application will result in a combined permit which will allow for water withdrawal of over 2 million gallons per day!!!! And the pipeline that the Village is installing, 24” instead of the 18” APPROVED pipe allows for over 4 million gallons per day!!! And how is KJ paying for this pipeline? Through the annexation process by extorting money from the people in the area to be annexed.

Auntie Alibi was impressed with most of the speakers in both segments of the public hearing: they had their facts, figures and references and knew what they talking about.

Did you know that the Village of Kiryas Joel was born back in the 70’s when 14 buildings were constructed not “up to code” and without the proper permits?

Obviously no one told them to take the buildings down,  start over and follow the law.

Auntie thinks the people in Bloomingburg are correct to make sure everyone follows the law.

Otherwise, they might wind up with discards from a chicken plant in their streams.

                                            

   

Can’t imagine why Bloomingberg doesn’t want to look like this.

P.S. Have you looked at how much property the real estate arm of KJ owns, all over Orange County???It's not just Monroe anymore!!!
