Note the Talking Points:
Brookfield deserves an adjudicatory hearing, not just a public hearing. An adjudicatory hearing is necessary to address the serious air quality issues that are inherent with burning more methane at the Brookfield Compressor Station;
Brookfield (and all of Fairfield County) is in a severe ozone nonattainment zone; DEEP must not add more pollution;
Providing for a healthy environment is part of DEEP’s mission. This permit exposes vulnerable populations to health harming pollution;
DEEP is failing to follow best available technology requirement to achieve lower emissions, and must improve monitoring and enforcement;
This project will put added pressure on an aging pipeline that was built in blatant disregard for public safety;
Additional greenhouse gas emissions from the facility will impede DEEP’s mandate to achieve the state’s climate law requiring emission reductions.
