Politico New York, February 24, 2016: Oil-train opponents want low-income community involved in permit review
“Opponents of oil trains are asking the state Department of Environmental Conservation to analyze the effects of crude oil terminals at the Port of Albany on a nearby minority and low-income community. The coalition — which includes Albany County, a public housing tenants’ association, Sierra Club and Environmental Advocates of New York — wants the state to conduct an environmental justice analysis of the Global Companies and Buckeye Partners terminals in Albany, which handle billions of gallons of crude oil annually.”
