Cuomo Denies Water Quality Certificate for New York Harbor Pipeline

For Immediate Release

The following statement was released by Food & Water Watch organizer Laura Shindell:

“Governor Cuomo’s decision to deny the water quality certificate for the Williams NESE New York Harbor pipeline is a huge step in the right direction. The fight is far from over, but today showed once again that New York’s climate movement is too big and powerful to ignore. We urge Governor Cuomo to take the next step by stopping this pipeline once and for all, if and when Williams reapplies, and to make a firm commitment to reject all fracking infrastructure.”
