Public Hearing: Endicott Board of Trustees July 20, 2020, at 7:00 PM: "A Local Law Repealing The Local Law Making Recycling Facilities A Permitted Use In Industrialized Zones"

Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82089707613
Meeting ID:  820 8970 7613
Dial-in phone number:  1-929-436-2866

What I will discuss:

• Prior to 5/7/2020 there was an EXPRESS PROHIBITION on incinerators in the VIllage of Endicott in any zone.
  
  https://ecode360.com/26797943
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• In order to put an incinerator in the Village, the zoning had to be changed to REMOVE THE PROHIBITION. 
  
  
• Mayor Linda Jackson repeatedly called this "adding special restrictions on recycling facilities", however, the 2010 NYS Rechargeable Battery Recycling Law made it ILLEGAL for local municipalities to "put special restrictions on battery recycling facilities" due to a state preemption.
  
  See: https://codes.findlaw.com/ny/environmental-conservation-law/env-sect-27-1811.html
  
  
  
  
  
• The validity of the Protest Petition is still being determined by the engineering firm. . NO BUILDING PERMIT should be issued before this is complete.

• Even without the protest petition, the 5/7/2020 vote FAILED 3:2 due to an ADDITIONAL Supermajority requirement from GML 239-m(5). (see attached Braymer Letter 5/7/20)
  
  https://codes.findlaw.com/ny/general-municipal-law/gmu-sect-239-m.html
  
  
  
  
  
• The DEC REVOKED the permit 5/20/2020 due to a necessary permit modification. NO BUILDING PERMIT should be issued without the DEC permit being complete.
  
  
• There is presently a ZBA appeal filed by Claudia Bramer, scheduled for the agenda 7/30/20 which challenges the legitimacy of the local law.  NO BUILDING PERMIT should be issued without the ZBA's determination.
  
  
• The DEC permit is ILLEGAL because
  
  
• TYPE-1 SEQR: This project was misclassified as an UNLISTED ACTION.  This project MUST BE a Type-1 SEQR action due to a REQUIRED ZONING CHANGE impacting > 25 acres: (6 NYCRR 617.4(b)(2)). Due to DEC's oinitial error, we were DENIED OUR DUE PROCESS RIGHTS, our rights to a GML 239-m "Coordinated Review"
  of the facility.
  
  
• COORDINATED REVIEW: On 10/9/2019, DEC said ("Notice of Completed Application") that "A Coordinated Review was Performed". When Village Attorney Bob McKertich asked the DEC about this in his 2/6/2020 letter, DEC's atty Joe Sluzar responded that it was "a typographical error".
  
  
• NEGATIVE DECLARATION:  The original Negative Declaration (10/2/19) and the Amended Negative Declaration (3/27/20) FAILED to identify ONE unmitigated potential impact, which would trigger an Environmental Impact Statement. 
  
  This, despite that No Burn Broome and Concerned Citizens of Endicott together have identified DOZENS of unmitigated impacts:
  
  Human Health Impacts, Air and Water Pollution, Road use impacts, Risk of extreme fires which CANNOT BE FOUGHT, Risk of Explosion, Socio-economic impacts such as loss of property values, loss of tax base, and other Quality of Life Impacts.
  
  A POSITIVE DECLARATION MUST BE ISSUED and an EIS prepared.
  
  
• ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT: 
  
  Because the DEC failed to identify just one unmitigated impact of dozens, we were denied a comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement, which would have allowed us time to explore all of these various impacts, and consider PROJECT ALTERNATIVES, including the No Action Alternative.
  
  
• PUBLIC HEARINGS:
  
  Typically with a full EIS, there are FOUR public hearings: 1) Scoping, 2) Draft EIS, 3) Final EIS, 4) permit.
  
  We got ZERO, not four.
  
  
• ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE PROTECTIONS
  
  We Demand the NYSDEC provide us all protections
  afforded to Environmental Justice Communities under
  Commissioner's Policy CP-29
  

Hope this helps!

The Village of Endicott *Does Not Exist*

ROGUE VILLAGE!

★ NO LAW! ★ Anything Goes! ★

Fun Fact: Neither the Village of Endicott, nor the NY Department of State can locate the Endicott Village Charter. 

see attached

(I first started looking for the VoE charter around 5 years ago)

Today I got word from the NYS Dept of State: "No such records exist".

There is NO PROOF that the Village of Endicott exists as a Valid Municipal Subdivision of NY, nor that any local laws have any legal authority.

Endicott Battery Incinerator Updates / Bill Huston Podcast

(SEQR process flow: SLIDE from recent video adapted+improved by BH)

Hi Friends,

I have two new videos published on the incinerator today.

Both were older events which I never published previously.

• First Sungeel Dog & Pony Show 11/6/2019
• Endicott Planning Board Zoom mtg (audio only) 4/16/2020

I am $8.40 short of being able to pay my phone bill.

I am getting disconnect notices.

I am going to try to keep producing material

until I cannot any longer. 
(SEE BELOW for NEW MATERIAL)

I need emergency financial support! I have $1,377.20 in unpaid bills.  I would like +$200 for food, laundry, modest program costs.TOTAL ASK: ~$1,600 If you appreciate my work, and/or care about me, I would appreciate donations in any amount, if you are able. My Paypal is TinyURL.com/DonateToBillHuston USPS: Wm Huston, PO Box 22, Endicott NY 13761 I have a SPECIAL GIFT for donors over $100

BILL HUSTON is going over a cliff.

Are you going to reach out your hand?

Or are you going to wave goodbye?

I have $1,377 in bills immediately due.

I would like $200 for food, laundry etc.

Everything is past due, rent, phone, internet, storage.

I have incidental and necessary program costs 
immediately due. I need emergency funding.

Look at what I have done with my life for TEN YEARS

Bill Huston Success Stories:

Here are all of the SUCCESSFUL environmental campaigns

I have made significant contributions to:

• $1B 124 mi Constitution Pipeline = DEFEATED
• Kinder-Morgan NED = DEFEATED
• I-81 Pipeline = DEFEATED
• LPG at Seneca Lake = DEFEATED
• CH4 Expansion at Seneca Lake = DEFEATED
• Fracking in NY = DEFEATED!
• Fenton #BombTrucks terminal = DEFEATED
• WPX Energy => GONE from PA

Here's a BIG ONE:

• Cabot Oil and Gas ==> Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced 15 criminal counts against the Houston-based Cabot Oil and Gas, including nine felonies.
  I have not been able to discuss this up until now, but I (along with Craig L. Stevens) wrote a Private Criminal Complaint in Feb 2018, which I believe became the basis of the Attorney General's indictments of Cabot.
  
  Cabot has spent est. ~$1M to $2M chasing me in the courts, harassing me, following me, making threats of "discovery" of personal information, threats of financial sanctions and JAIL, for about the last two years. This was as a result of my giving assistance to Raymond Kemble in various ways.

And just announced:

• The $8B 600 Mile Dominion Atlantic Coast Pipeline: DEFEATED!!!
  I was invited by Swami Dayanada Saraswati of Yogaville to come to Buckingham Co., VA, and give a talk about how to defeat a pipeline in April 2015: 
  
  Nadia Steinzor / Bill Huston:
  Pipelines & Yogaville, Buckingham County VA
  youtube.com/watch?v=fP9_uZJUE0w

As you will see,
my message to Yogaville was simply:

YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN WIN!

The only difference between PA and NY I can see

is that people in PA are broken, defeated,

after 100 years of colonization by extraction industries.

PA people: "There is nothing I can do to stop it."

Whereas, people in NY say, "NO WAY!"

and we don't stop these projects every time,

but we do QUITE OFTEN!

I have tried to live my life with

PERSONAL INTEGRITY

LIVE ACCORDING TO MY VALUES.

I have done thousands of hours of SERVICE WORK

DONATING my many and highly valuable/marketable skills

to the Public Service, protecting Public Safety, Public Health

protecting CLEAN WATER and AIR.

Working in the Service of 7 Generations.

Who is Bill Huston?

I was very lucky for most of the 2010s

to have a part time job, with flexible hours

which paid me a lot of money.

I don't usually talk about my qualifications.

I feel like it's boasting. I try to be more humble.

But this whole (Death) Kulture we have here

seems to be so GODDAMN fixated on Pedigrees.

Guess what? If you think that science is only for

Certified, and Properly Credentialed Academics

from the Top Institutes of Learning

... then you have MISSED THE MESSAGE

OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT.

BILL HUSTON'S CV / Professional Resume

I am a Unix Systems Engineer

I am a master technician and troubleshooter

in large, complex systems. I specialize

in Root Cause Analysis, Analysis of large, unstructured Datasets.

Data visualization, Unix tools.

I have made lots of $$$ working

for Fortune 100 Companies.

The last company I worked for was a pure research firm.
Their hiring ration was like 1,000:1

They would look at 1000 people and hire 1.

They said it was like Google.

Only the best of the best were hired.

I can hardly believe that it's true.

(I have low self esteem)

But it is true.

I maintained and repaired

Custom Supercomputers

and Large Linux Clusters

in a State of the Art Datacenter.

I worked there for 8 years.

I was very highly compensated.

But I have made a conscious effort

to DEVOTE MY MANY SKILLS

to doing PUBLIC SERVICE WORK.

I work in the service of ALL BEINGS!

I wish ALL BEINGS are happy and free from suffering.

I do ORIGINAL RESEARCH in many areas,

including my attempts to Calibrate PHMSA's PIR formula

to real world data.

• http://williamahuston.blogspot.com/2015/02/examining-phmsas-faulty-pir-formula.html
• http://TinyURL.com/BHBetterPIR

I did Major Investigations into

• Merrimack Valley Gas Explosions [1] [2]
  I pointed out several ERRORS and OMISSIONS in the NTSB report, and posited an Alternate Explanation which *makes sense* (as opposed to the official story)
  
• Sissonville VA pipeline explosion
• Mayflower AR tar sands spill
• Transcanada Leach Xpress explosion. 
• Endicott Leachate Dumping ("Stink Trucks")

My latest work is fighting a
HAZARDOUS WASTE INCINERATOR being planned 
in Downtown Endicott. 

I have worked on this nearly full time since Nov 2019.

Documents Archive: TinyURL.com/EndicottBatteryIncinerator

Video collection (45 videos, 60+hours
): TinyURL.com/EndicottBatteryIncineratorVids

I think we are going to win this, because we have a large community

group formed to resist the facility. Signs like this, and other designs,

many hand-made are popping up everywhere:

THIS IS MY WORK!

The Battery Incinerator was in the works since summer 2018,

and NO ONE KNEW about it (except for a few politicians)

NO ONE INFORMED THE COMMUNITY!

The NEWS MEDIA LIED about the true nature of the plant.

The POLITICIANS ALL LIED and used deception.

Called it "green manufacturing".

It was BILL HUSTON

who INFORMED THE COMMUNITY!

in Nov 2019 I TOLD ENDICOTT

"HEY! An Incinerator is Coming!!!"

[:VIDEO:]

Thank you for caring about me and supporting my work.
