Right callPerhaps no one in the world is better at multi-tasking

than the typical suburban mom, ta lk ing on a cellphone, feeding a baby a bottle, quizzing a third graderon spelling and driving to work, all at the same time.

So laws, county or statewide, to prohibit talking oncell phones while driving and holding them in yourhand may not be popular here. Still, if they are passed',one can imagine phone users wil l start wearing theheadsets that allow you to talk hands-free. We will alllook like pop stars! ;

One place where people feel in control of their des-tiny is when driving their own cars. They feel uneasyabout sending their children off to school in buses,especially after the news of a tragic accident such asthe one on Gommack Road this week. They are not tooeager to send them in taxis either. And yet, statistically,an accident in your own car is more likely. And youmay be perfectly capable of balancing five tasks atonce, but the other driver may not. '

Governor George Pataki's initiative prohibiting stateemployees from using their state-provided cell phoneswhile driving is a good start and sets a good example.

His proposed statewide law banning use of hand-held cell phones while driving makes more sense thanhaving a variety of local laws to keep in mind.

Sneezin'seasonEvery day brings forth new surprises from trees and.

flowers and bushes in our community, which has neverlooked lovelier.

Unfortunately, a confluence of weather patterns hasalso made this the season with the highest pollen countin recent memory. People who have allergies are suf-fering when they ought tp be enjoying being outdoors.

And that's nothing to sneeze at!

Goosing the right summer camp for your childCamp Hi-Hello in Freeport is already

gearing up for its school-age camp season;site preparation, staff training and activityscheduling. "It takes a lot. of pre-seasonwork to have a quality summer campwhere children can have fun and be safe,"states Joann Bousquet, Executive Directorof Hi-Hello, "and it's up to parents to aska wide variety of questions so that theycan make a decision that is appropriate fortheir children and gives the parents peaceofmind."

The following is a suggested list ofquestions to help you in your summercamp search: . .

Is the camp licensed and accredited? Allsummer day camps should be licensed bythe Department of Health (Nassau CountyDOH 571-3680). Some camps maychoose to be accredited by the AmericanCamping Association (212-391-5208).This Association is a great resource forparents in helping them to select a qualitycamp.

Is the camp staff trained, mature andexperienced? Staff that has direct respon-sibilities of children should be over 18

years of age and have extensive training inhealth and safety, CPR, child abuse pre-vention, bus trip safety, how to appropri-ately work with children, effective com-munication and conflict resolution, just toname a few.

Is the camp administration well-orga-nized and experienced? A well-organizedprogram will anticipate the problems thatcan be associated with working with chil-dren and instill more than the minimumrequirements of licensing. The old saying,"An ounce of prevention..." applies tocamp administration.

Is there a mechanism in place for strongcommunication with parents? This is amust for your peace of mind. You shouldbe able to contact the camp administrationand be well-informed in writing of yourchild's itinerary and daily activities.

Is there safe,, reputable transportation?Children should be transported by Depart-ment of Transportation registered vehiclesthat are inspected every six months. Theyshould be equipped with first aid and safe-ty equipment on each trip. Drivers musthave a valid license to drive a bus.

What kind of trips does the camp sched-ule? They should be appropriate to the agegroup and should focus on the social,recreational and educational .interests ofthe children.

What is the ratio of staff to camper?Ratios are dictated by those licensing andgoverning agencies mentioned above andwill increase as the child gets older. TheAmerican Camping Association recom-mends a 1:6 ratio for age 5; 1:8 forcampers ages 6 to 8; and 1:10 for ages 9and up.

Are there varied and interesting activi-ties? Fun,-inclusion and participationshould be the major focus each day.Allowing the campers to have some choic-es is a plus but not always possible. Amixtnre_of quiet and busy activities may

interest some children. After all, the campday is long and kids need a variety ofactivities to keep them interested. Know-ing what your child likes will help youmake these decisions easier. Remember,what interests you may not interest yourchild.

Are there nutritious meals and snacksserved? All menus should be createdunder the guidance of a nutritionist that isaffiliated with the United States Depart-ment of Agriculture (USDA).

Remember, these suggestions should beused as guidelines for inquiring about aprospective summer day camp. Add yourown concerns and don't be hesitant aboutasking. Your child 's fun and safetydepends on you doing your homework.

Children's author visits studentsThose who know what it takes to

print a full-color manuscript might notsuspect how fascinat ing the processcould sound to.a young child. Whenc h i l d r e n ' s author Vera B. W i l l i a m sexplained to students at Archer StreetSchool -in Freeport how her books areprinted, she had an exceptionally recep-tive audience. Ms. Williams answeredstudents' questions about the printingprocess by demonstrating how the ful lcolor pictures in her book are made.She pretended that she was a sheet ofpaper going through red; yellow, blue,and black rollers on a printing press.

Printing was not the only topic Ms.Williams addressed. She also gave sev-eral presentations throughout the day,based almost entirely on the students'questions. "We're pleased to say "thatMs. Williams' visit was an outstandinglearning experience 'for our students,"said Archer Street Principal Paula Lein."This is in part due to Ms: Williams'own intelligence, warmth, and wit, and

in part due to our students' knowledgeof Ms. Will iams' work. The childrenl i s tened c losely and asked somethought-provoking questions."

Some students inquired whether therewere real-life models for the charactersLit t le Guy and Li t t le Pumpk in in'"More, More, More' said the Baby."Other students expressed interest inknowing more about the inspiration forWilliams' Caldecott Honor book enti-tled "A Chair For My Mother." Afteranswering these questions and ques-tions about her upcoming projects, Ms.Will iams signed autographs and toldthe tale of the "Missing Red Pencil."She told students about a l i t t le redmouse who took little bits and pieces ofher illustrating equipment and startedhis own book writing inside the wall ofher studio. "I suppose the story is a

.parable about writing," Ms. Williamslater said. "I hope that I have inspiredsome future writers by sharing the bitsand pieces of my life as an author."

Freeport's Power Plant No. 2.: Safe or an environmental hazard?by Laura Schofer

The problems with Power Plant No. 2began a long time ago. Ask Virinie Greece.He's been ba t t l ing wi th the Vil lage ofFreeport since 1969; or ask Merrick residentJoe Kralovich, who first sent-100 signed let-ters from Merrick residents back in 1993asking the village to address the problem ofwhat he calls "uncontrolled pollution" spew-ing'from the smoke stacks of Power PlantNo. 2. that is landing in his Merrick neigh-borhood across the water, from the PowerPlant. The Power Plant is located on BuffaloAvenue in Freeport. But both men claimtheir cries have fallen on deaf ears; Why?

According to village officials Power PlantNo. 2 is in compliance with its air dischargepermit, called a Title V permit, issued by theNew York State Department of Environ-mental Conservation (DEC). As long as theyare in their legal right to run this plant, theywill . "The Plant is a licensed facility andmeets all emissions standards applicable toit," said Hubert Bianco, Superintendent ofthe Freeport Electric Utitli ty, in a writtenstatement to The Leader.

The DEC agrees. Bill Fonda, a spokesper-son for the DEC, said "they are essentiallyfunctioning under. DEC guidelines." TheDEC limits opacity, that is the darkness ofthe smoke that comes out of the stack. "Wealso test the ability of the smoke to block outthe light," added Mr. Fonda. "They are per-mitted a 20 percent blockage over a sixminute period." The test was last conductedin October of 2000, according to Mr. Bian-co, "and Plant No. 2 was fully compliant."

But the Environmental Protection Agencyis not so sure. The EPA representative forRegion 2, Mary Mears, said, "We are in theprocess of doing an assessment. We are indiscussions with the state [New York DEC]to see how they are meeting their require-ments. We want to see. what they [FreeportElectric Utility] have in place [to meet the1990 Clean Air Act]." The Clean Air Act of1963, amended in 1970 and again in 1990,has put into place certain requirements to

reduce air pollutants from industrial sitesincluding electric plants. Power Plant No. 2is not exempt from these requirements withregard to ambient air quali ty standards.There are questions as to1 whether this plantis under compliance.

Even the New York Attorney General'sEnvironmental Issues office has gotteninvolved. "We know about it," said Mr.Johnson, Deputy Bureau Chief, although hewould offer no other comment about theoffice's involvement in this issue.

Area residents want to know how thisplant, which has no pollution controls, canbe permitted to spill sulfur dioxide into theair. The plant was built in 1968 and putonline before any environmental safeguardswere put in place. The plant was used peri-odically until 1996 and then wasn't usedagain until the Summer of 1999. The plantusually runs during the summer months,which is typically the peak season for elec-tric consumption.

Residents are convinced that the sulfur diox-ide being spewed into the air is carcinogenic.

"There are no controls on that plant. Theysay they're using clean oil but it 's notenough. Just last summer I was outside whenthey went online. I got a blast in the face andhad sores for weeks," said Mr. Grecco.

"I'm asthmatic," said Mr. Kralovich."Every summer [when they run the plant] Ihave, to leave. Most people [in Merrick]didn't know where that [smell and soot] wascoming from. I have concerns about thehealth of my family and my neighbors."

"We have received numerous complaints. Weare still receiving complaints," said Mr. Fonda."But we need to be there on a real time basis."

Currently Power Plant No. 2 is using alow sulfur oil to control sulfur emissions."Power Plant No. 2 is currently permitted tobum 0.37% sulfur or less," said Mr. Bianco.

But even with the lower sulfur oil, panicu-late is released into the atmosphere. Particu-late is the generic name used to "describesmall particles of solid or semi-solid materi-als, liquid droplets, aerosols and combina-

tions thereof that are present in ambient air,"says the DEC Air Resources; Air QualityReport. "Particulates originate from manysources, among which are....automobileexhaust (especially diesel)."

"Particulates are limited on turbineengines," said Mr. Fonda. "Power Plant No.2 uses diesel engines. We have no soot limitsfor diesel engines." "

Resident activists have pointed to Envi-ronmental Law 212-1.7 that they say indi-cates that Power Plant No. 2 is not in corriTpliance with paniculate regulations. "Thatnew law, which took effect January 19,1994," said Mr. Fonda, "is in reference to

turbine engines." It reads " No person shallcause or allow an emission into the outdooratmosphere of particulates that there is 0.10pounds per mil btu heat input from any sta-tionery combustion installation with a maxi-mum heat input capacity exceeding 50 mil-lion btu per hour but no greater than 250million btu per hour using oil [other than dis-tillant oil] coal tar or any liquid fuel-derivedfrom coal.' This doesn't apply to them

' because they use diesel fuel #2."Even so, Plant No. 2 does have one

20MVA Rolls Royce combustion turbine,according to Mr. Bianco, and "two 10MVA

Nassau adopts mobile cell phone ban

C3•a

Wa<uajOJE'H

A law that ,wi l l regulate the use ofmobile phones while operating a motorvehicle w i t h i n Nassau County wasadopted unanimously xby members ofthe Nassau County Legislature today.

The County Executive has 30 daysin which to sign or veto the law. If hevetoes the legislation, 13 votes wouldbe needed to override. If approved, itwould be effective July 1.

Nassau's cell phone law prohibitsthe ta lk ing , l i s ten ing or d ia l ing of amobi le telephone whi l e operating amotor vehicle on any publ ic street orpublic highway while the vehicle is inm o t i o n , un l e s s the te lephone i sequipped and used with a hands-freedevice. Those found to be in violationof the law would be subject to a $100fine per violation.

•Presiding Officer Judy Jacobs (D-Woodbury) sponsor of the b i l l , saidthe law is necessary to ensure uniformenforcement throughout Long Island.Suffolk County and New York City

already have laws that regulate use ofmobile telephones. Legislator DavidDenenberg (D-Merrick) agrees."Nas-sau and Suffolk are one region and weneed to ensure cont inui ty in enforce-ment. Ideally, it .would be beneficialfor everyone if a 'state-a wide law wasadopted," said Legislator Denenberg.

According to the law, "Use" shall bet a l k i n g , l i s t e n i n g , or d i a l i n g on amobile telephone, unless using a handsfree device^ which is defined as aninternal device, attachment, add-on, oraddition to a mobile telephone (cellu-lar, analog, wireless and digital) thatallows a.driver to maintain both handson the steering device.

Exceptions to the law" include autho-rized emergency vehicles, inc lud ingambulances, police vehicles or bicyclecorrection vehicles, fire vehicles, civildefense emergency vehicles, emer-

• gency ambulance service vehicles,envi ronmenta l emergency responsevehicles, sanitation patrol vehicles,hazardous materials emergency vehi-cles and ordinance disposal vehicles ofthe armed forces of the United States,

-and i n d i v i d u a l s making emergencytelephone calls. Those i n d i v i d u a l swould be required to produce docu-mentary evidence that the phone callwas made for the sole purpose of con-tact ing a 911 emergency number; a'hospital; an ambulance company orcorp; a fire department, fire district orfire company; a health clinic; a med-ical doctor's office; a first aid squad;or a police department.

The law would be enforced any-where in Nassau County by any autho-rized Police Department or force of atown or village.

Freeport's Power Plant No. 2: Safe or an environmental hazard?from page 8

low speed Fiat diesel engines."Diesel exhaust: Is it bad for

your health?The plant gives off sulfur dioxide, a color;

less gas with a detectable pungent odor, thatcan "result in irritation of the respiratory sys-tem that can cause both temporary and per-manent damage. The degree of harm is sig-nificantly higher in the presence of airborneparticulates," according to the DEC 1998Air Quality Report.

But the question remains: How much isharmful? Claire Popisil of the New YorkState Environmental Health Group said "thisis not an easy yes or no answer. A lot ofwhat we do depends on exposure..There area lot of different factors. Cancer has a laten-cy period of more than 20 years." Ms.Popisil knew of no study which could linkcancer to diesel emissions. "We have donesome studies in the Bronx which links asth-ma to air quality."

Ed Horn, also of the New York State Envi-ronmental Health Group, agreed. "Peoplewho have respiratory problems will havethem aggravated and triggered by the chemi-cals and particulates in diesel emissions. Butdiesel fuel #2 is also used in home heating oil.What it comes down to is the size of theengine."

In addition to the one MVA Rolls Roycecombustion turbine, there are two 10MVAlow-speed Fiat diesel engines.

The National Cancer Institute, Division ofCancer Biology, provided information fromthe International Agency for Research onCancer, entitled, "Occupational Exposures inPetroleum Refining; Crude Oil and MajorPetroleum Fuels." The monograph is part of

a series on the evaluation of carcinogenicrisks to humans and is a compilation of theworld's literature on a given topic that isdeveloped by leading scientists worldwidethrough the World Health Organization.The monograph states "there is limited evi-dence for the carcin.ogenicity in experimen-tal animals of straight-run kerosene and suf-ficient evidence for the carcinogenicity inexperimental animals of light vacuum distil-lates..." These findings were for occupation-al programs only.

Recently p lans have been proposed,requiring coordinated multi-emission reduc-tions, according to the Energy InformationAdministration, Department of Energy. Sev-eral bills that have been'introduced in Con-gress contain such provisions. S. 1369, theClean Energy Act of 1999, introduced bySenator James Jeffords; S. 1949, the CleanPower plant and Modernization Act of 1999,introduced by Senator Patrick Leahy; H.R.2900, the Clean Smokestacks Act of 1999,introduced by Congressman Henry Wax-man; H.R. 2645, the Consumer, Worker andEnvironmental Protection Act of 1999;introduced by Congressman DennisKucinich; and H.R. 2980, the Clean PowerPlant Act of 1999, introduced by Congress-man Allen. Each of these bills contains pro-visions to reduce power plant emissions ofSulfur Dioxide in addition to Carbon Diox-ide" and Nitrogen Oxides. The bills use dif-ferent approaches - traditional technology,specific emission standards, generation per-formance standards, explicit emission caps,or combinations of the three - but all call forsignificant emission reductions.

Deregulation: helping orharming us?

Mr. Kralovich believes deregulation of the

-energy industry, has encouraged the Villageof Freeport to .sell' its energy. "They [theVillage of Freeport] are gouging the sys-.tem," he said. "They want to make a profit.In their 1999 Public Commission Reportthey generated power and sold it to LIPA,"he said and added that he was concerned thatthe village would run the plant all year roundto meet new energy needs.

The village denies it. "Freeport rarely sellsenergy. In the new deregulated marketFreeport would sell energy into the marketand not to a specific customer," said Mr.Bianco. In the Annual Report to the PublicService Commission for the year endingFebruary 29, 2000, The Freeport ElectricUtility sold 1,492,200 kilowatt hours in Juneand July of 1999, purchased by LIPA for apurchase price of $ 151,678.

Many utilities, including LIPA, are antici-pating problems this summer in supplyingpower to customers. Beginning in 1996 amulti-state blackout in the West affected 7.5million customers. The summer ofv 1999 sawmajor power outages in New York City,Chicago and New Orleans. On June 14,2000, the San Francisco Bay area experi-enced rolling blackouts that shut off powerto 97,000 customers.

Mr. Kralovich believes this market makesit possible for Freeport to generate powerand sell it at a lower price instead of buyingsome of its power from the New York StatePower Authority with whom the FreeportElectric Utility has an agreement. "It's aboutmoney," said Mr. Kralovich.

Ed Horn cautioned that this energy cli-mate "can translate into putting some ofthese old plants back online."

Mr. Bianco said that "given projectedenergy shortages for New York State over

Hub Bianco answers questions about Power Plant' The Leader asked for a face to face inter-view with Hubert Bianco, Superintendent ofthe Freeport Electric Utility. The interviewwas denied. However, the Village agreed toanswer written questions which follow:

When was the plant built and when did itopen?

1968.How often is the plant online?This is dependent on market conditions.

Generation is economically dispatched. Thisis the same approach used to dispatch all gen-eration in New York State. The generationunits are available to run at all times. Howev-er, the units are dispatched only when marketconditions necessitate their operation.

How many gallons of diesel does theplant burn each day? Each hour? Howoften are the engines inspected by villageemployees? If a village employee reports aproblem, what procedures are in place tohandle it? What kinds of engines are foundin the plant? How large are the engines?Are these the same kind of engines foundin the other power plants in Freeport?

(a) The amount of fuel burned at PowerPlant 2 each day or hour depends on theamount of generation required to meet sys-tem load requirements and market condi-tions. On the average, Generation Units 1and 2 consume 500 gallons per hour andGeneration Unit 3 consumes 1200 gallonsper hour.

(b) Power Plant 2 is staffed twenty-fourhours a day, seven days a week. Each Gener-ation Unit is visually inspected at the mini-mum of once eVery hour and operating con-ditions are monitored remotely on a continu-ous basis .by computer and the ControlRoom operator. Additionally, internal engineinspections are done after a prescribed num-ber of run hours. The Utility employs skilledmechanics for maintenance and inspections.

(c) The Generation Units at Power Plant 2consists of two IOMVA low speed Fiatdieselengines and one 20MVA Rolls Roycecombustion turbine.

(d) Freeport Electric has four diesel enginesat Power Plant 1 on Sunrise Highway.

How many power plants are there in theVillage?What is apeak season and time for-'-".trie use?

(a) There are currently two power plantsserving the electrical needs of the Incorpo-

rated Village of Freeport.(b) Although Freeport's peak period

occurs during the summer season, there isalso a winter peak period. The peak load

-occurs between 4 and4p:Rv -How much electricity must, the village

generate during peak season and time tomeet the demands of Freeport residentsand businesses?

This is a difficult question to answer in aderegulated energy market. System conditionsand market prices are the determining factors.

How much electricity does Freeport sellto LIPA? Does any of it go to Merrick?

Freeport rarely sells energy. In the newderegulated market, Freeport would sell energyinto the market and not to a specific customer.

Does Freeport experience brownoutsbecause of high consumption of electricpower? If so, how often? Has Freeportexperienced brownouts since using PowerPlant 2 in 1999? Does Mr. Bianco foreseepower shortages for Freeport in the future?If so, why?• (a). Although Freeport Electric has beenforced to use localized voltage reductionduring high peak periods, Freeport has notexperienced brownout conditions sincePower Plant 2 was brought on line in 1968.

(b) The Utility is currently positioned tomeet the energy needs of its customers.However, since LIPA is anticipating prob-lems this summer, Freeport is not certain asto what steps LIPA may take that couldaffect service to Freeport.

When were the last diesel emissionsexamined at Plant No. 2? What were thoseresults? How much sulfur is emitted fromthe plant? What is allowed by law? Howmuch soot ir emitted from the plant? Canyou comment on the vibrations and noisecoming from Plant No. 2?

(a) Plant No. 2 is a fully licensed facilityand complies with all current emissionrequirements. The Title V permit for PlantNo. 2 expires in November 2003.

(b) Opacity testing was conducted in Octo-ber 2000 and Plant No. 2 was fully compli-ant. . - .

(c) Burning low sulfur oil controls sulfuremissions. Power Plant 2 is currently permit-

.'ted to burn 0.37% sulfur .or less #2 fuel oil.(d) Noise is not an issue at Plant No. 2What about the recent EPA findings that

even tiny particles of soot may be tied to.

premature deaths and a rise in asthma? Doyou think the soot emissions at Power PlantNo. 2 are well within those EPA standards?

The Plant is a licensed facility and meets—all emissions standards applicable to it.

• How often are Freeport's plants inspect-ed by the DEC? How often is Fteeportrequired by the state to renew its permit tooperate Plant No. 2?. (a) The various permits have variousrequirements and renewal periods.

(b) Power plant inspections are notannounced. At a minimum, Plant No. 2 isinspected annually by the Department ofSafety and Health (DOSH) and the Depart-ment of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

How much would it cost Freeport resi-dents to shut down Plant No. 2?

Given projected energy shortages for NewYork State over the next few years and theexperience gained from shortages in Califor-nia, the closing of any plant is not a prudent

• management decision at this time. Californiahas seen frequent blackouts, and energypieces have increased as much as 40%. In

- addition, several utilities are on the verge ofbankruptcy because the wholesale cost ofelectricity has risen dramatically.

How much would it cost to install sweep-ers in Plant No. 2?

Sweepers are typically used on coal andwood fired plants. The backpressure require-ments for the Generation Units at Plant No.2 restrict the adoption of this technology.

Does the Village have any plans to reno-vate Plant No. 2? If so, what are they andhow long would it take to make those renova-tions?

The vi l lage is planning to extend thestacks at Plant No. 2

Has LIPA offered to sell power toFreeport? At what price?

1. LJPA offered to sell energy to Freeport;however, the prices quoted to Freeport were, inmost cases, higher than the market rate. Ratherthan pay the higher prices, Freeport bought theenergy from the market or generated the ener-gy i f it was most cost-effecti ve to do so.

2. Freeport also requested energy quota-tions from several other utilities. The priceper kilowatt hour varied widely dependingon the time of day, time of year and.thepower marketers' expectation of market con-ditions for the specified period. All of theprice quotes received by Freeport were.sig-

the next few years and the experience gainedfrom shortages in California, the closing ofany plant is not a prudent management deci-sion at this lime. California has seen frequentblackouts and energy prices have increasedas much as 40%. In addition, several uliliiicsare on the verge of bankruptcy because thewholesale cost of electricity has risen dra-matically," he said.

The Alliance to Save Energy believes thaithe problem lies in the poor restructuring ofthe electricity industry. "Reliability has dete-riorated under res t ructur ing: Impendingrestructuring of the electricity industry andrelated competition caused ut i l i ty companiesto slash investment in energy-efficiency pro-grams by nearly 50 percent since 1993. Theenergy savings and peak demand reductionsuch programs could have provided areexacerbating the nation's current capacitycrunch." They also point to "governmentalinaction to enacting stronger efficiency stan-dards and public benefits funding for energyefficiency in state and federal legislation."

"At present a proposal has been put forthby the Freeport Electric Utili ty to increase thestack height to 175 feet," said DECspokesman Fonda. "It would decrease theodor and disperse it." According to Mr. Bian-co, sweepers cannot be installed in Plant No.2 because "Sweepers are typically used oncoal and wood fired plants. The backpressurerequirements for the Generation units at PlantNo. 2 restrict the adoption of this technology."In the meantime, Freeportcr Grecco and

Merokian Kralovich are hoping somethingwill be done about Plant No. 2. "I have noaxe to grind," said Mr. Kralovich. "All Iwant is for them [the Village of Freeport] toinstall anti-pollution devices. All I want is ahealthy family."

No. 2nificantly higher than the cost of producingthe energy with its own generation. The Util-ity is obligated to maintain the electric costsas low as reasonably possible."What does 'the average homeowner pay

for electricity in Freeport? If Freeportstopped setting excess power to other facili-ties, how much more would the averagehomeowner pay for electricity in Freeport?How much electricity do the power plantsin the Village produce, without using PlantNo. 2?

1. The average residential consumer usagecost is 7.57 cents/kWh, based on an averagebill of $53.10 for 701 kWh, per month.

2. Plant No. I represents 15% of the Vil-lage's generation capacity at its currentcapacity rating. Plant No. 2 represents 85%of the Village's generation capacity.3. Since the Utility has sold very little energyover the past year and a half, the effect ofthese sales is minimal and does not reduce thecost of electricity to the Utility's customers.

How much time does New York Stategive a power authority to comply with envi-ronmental regulations ?

Comply ing Js part of the licensingprocess. If the authority does not comply, itwill not get a permit to operate.

Have any residents either from Freeportor Merrick met with Mr. Bianco or MayorGlacken to voice their concerns about PlantNo. 2? If so, What was the village's reaction?

Mayor Bi l l Glacken, Electric U t i l i t ySuperintendent Hub Bianco and other vil-lage officials have met or spoken with resi-dents of both Freeport and Merrick on

-numerous occasions to discuss the concernsof the residents regarding the operation ofPower Plant 2 and they will continue to doso in the future.

What kind of arrangement does the Vil-lage have with the New York PowerAuthority to buy power? Does the villagebuy its power on the open market and thenresell it to LJPA, for example ?

1. The Village has a contract with NYPAfor hydro energy. This contract expires in2013. If NYPA is unable to renew itslicense, the contact will expire in 2007.

2. The village only buys power on theopen market for its own needs. If LIPAneeds power, it can buy from the same mar-ket to meet its own needs.
