Island Park not designated as environmentally ‘disadvantaged’ Kaminsky urges state DEC to reconsider By JAKE PEllEGRINo jpellegrino@liherald.com
Island Park has been home to the E.F. Barrett Power Plant for the last six decades, and has long suffered from its residual pollution and from a host of other environmental problems. Surprisingly, however, it was left off a state list of communities designated as environmentally disadvantaged, released March 9. The State Climate Leadership
and Community Protection Act requires that New York draft a map and the criteria to designate disadvantaged communities, or DACs. They are areas with minority or low-income populations that have been burdened by pollution and are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Communities that receive the designation are prioritized for the reduction of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and, most important, allocation of at
least 35 percent of the state’s clean-energy and energy-efficiency investments. According to its website, the CLCPA, which Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law in July 2019, is among the most ambitious climate laws in the world, and requires New York to reduce economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2030 and by no less than 85 percent by 2050 from their levels in 1990.
