(1) The Army Corps should require a full Federal Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project.
(2) The St. Lawrence Cement "Greenport project" is not the type of sustainable development that our region needs. It is simply too massive, and would cause too many adverse impacts for the community to endure. The project would harm the balanced and clean economy that is growing in the Hudson Valley.
(3) The Corps needs to hold the public comment period open while it waits for other local, State and Federal agencies to review the project, which keeps changing.
(4) The Corps' Advisory Council on Historic Preservation must conduct a Section 106 Review due to the clear and severe impacts to historic properties and other scenic and cultural resources, which cannot be mitigated.
(5) The company's proposed "mitigations" are completely inadequate to offset the massively negative impacts of this sprawling new project. Due to the scope and size of the proposal, most of the impacts of the project simply cannot be mitigated or offset.
(6) The company and its proposal have lost the public's trust and support due to their unusually poor track record and even worse community relations.
