Session on Cricket Valley Energy Draft Environmental Impact Statement Granted
June 29, 2011
In a letter from DEC Region 3 dated yesterday, and in advance of last night’s meeting, Director Willie Janeway reversed course and granted Supervisor Courtien and the Dover Town Board permission to hold a Saturday session on the Cricket Valley Energy Draft Environmental Impact Statement, provided we follow certain guidelines. Thank you Supervisor Courtien for continuing the dialogue with DEC, special thanks to Boardmembers Chris Galayda and Lorraine O’Neill for their direct written appeals to Willie Janeway, and many, many thanks to the residents of Dover who helped spread the word and get a petition signed for a Saturday session – your work had an impact.
Find out at tonight’s Town Board meeting which Saturday in July you can attend and have a positive impact on your future. As it stands, CVE is requesting a variance to exceed our noise decibel threshold. Find out what that means to you, and what kind of impact that and the air pollution will have on our students just over a mile away.
Everything is negotiable – maybe CVE should consider downsizing the plant to meet our thresholds? Or add better or more “noise deafeners?” Make your opinions known.

DEC continues to maintain Cricket Valley Energy’s 1000 megawatt power plant does not warrant a Saturday Session
June 27, 2011
We disagree, and continue to press for a Saturday Session to give voice to the people of Dover and the Harlem Valley, so that they may understand better and comment on the negative public health issues surrounding CVE, most notably with regard to air quality.
We are indebted to Tonia Shoumatoff’s continuing coverage of Cricket Valley Energy (CVE) for The Millbrook Independent, and appreciate that from a wider perspective, a new gas-fired plant such as CVE is preferable to a new coal-fired plant. A coal-fired plant would never be built in the Harlem Valley, nor, in our opinion, is it likely that these low cost providers in other regions in NYS will be taken off-line anytime soon.
Cricket Valley to Increase Power While Cutting Emissions
June 13, 2011
Millbrook Independent
By Antonia Shoumatoff
“Coal generates 54% of our electricity, and is the single biggest air polluter in the U.S.”–Union of Concerned Scientists, 2010″
At a Citizens Advisory Workshop on April 7, the energy consultant for Cricket Valley Energy estimated that carbon emissions in this region would be reduced by 716,818 tons by 2018 because Cricket Valley’s gas-fired plant will replace many obsolete coal-fired plants. These were just one of several impressive figures Fred Sellars of Arkadis Arcadis mentioned in the review of the air quality issues that Cricket Valley is dealing with in its permit process now before the NY State DEC.
