It is really hard to believe that such serious environmental pollution and water pollution problems are actually around us.



The Washington Post has reported earlier on the environmental pollution caused by the expansion of Dragon Springs . The expansion of the temple has indeed affected the surrounding ecology and the normal life of the residents.


Dragon Springs scoping document approved; Deerpark promises vigilance

DEERPARK — The crowd that showed up for a Deerpark Planning Board hearing on Dragon Springs’ campus expansion plans on Wednesday night was so large that Deerpark officials had to postpone the meeting until they could arrange for a larger venue.

Anticipating a larger-than-usual crowd, the meeting was scheduled for the Deerpark Senior Center. However, several minutes before the 7 p.m. meeting start time, the room was overfull, according to Deerpark Town Clerk Flo Santini.

“People were standing three deep along three walls,” she said.

The rescheduled meeting date will likely be announced at the next town board meeting on Feb. 27, Santini said. Port Jervis High School is a location being considered.

Experts and attorneys came from Long Island, New Paltz and elsewhere to speak, said Grace Woodard, founder of Deerpark Rural Preservation Alliance, the local group opposing the plans, citing road safety and environmental concerns.

The plan for the 393-acre campus on Galley Hill Road has aroused concerns, particularly because it includes a new 100,000-gallon-per-day sewage treatment system that would empty into a tributary of the Basher Kill, which flows through a wildlife preserve and into the Neversink River. Also, the plan includes a music hall that would seat 992 people and a new parking garage with 1,098 spaces for cars and 42 for buses.

Woodard said she expected the hearing to be rescheduled for late March or April. “With better weather, there will be more people,” she said.

Point taken, but this one not so much since that's in New York and we're in Ohio.

There are two types of people: those that talk the talk and those that walk the walk. People who walk the walk sometimes talk the talk but most times they don't talk at all, 'cause they walkin.'

As a righteous person who upholds the concept of environmental protection, he should resolutely resist the construction of similar projects.

Although it is in New York, every American and even all human beings should pay attention to environmental issues, especially in the context of global warming in recent years.

the fact is the 18,400 gallons per day septic system Dragon Springs now uses is to “get them through” until the 100,000 gpd septic system they planned has permits. But their DEC application for the larger system is incomplete, according to a DEC spokesperson. The equipment now awaiting approval would increase treatment of waste at current capacity, but not add capacity, according to the DEC.
