Citizens' Initiative to Ban Chemtrails

On
Dec. 6, New York’s Suffolk County government will hold a public
hearing on a proposal to ban aerial spraying of aluminum oxide, barium,
sulfur, and other salts into the air over the county without first
filing an Environmental Impact Statement with and receiving approval
from the county’s Department of Health Services, Division of
Environmental Quality.

Exempted
from the proposed ban are aerosol spraying operations for agriculture,
and for lyme disease, Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), West Nile
virus (WNV), and other disease vector control operations.

The
hearing will be held at the Riverhead Legislative Auditorium, Evans K.
Griffing Building, 300 Center Drive in Riverhead, NY at 2:30 pm.

If the public
is able to convince legislators of the risk from such geoengineering
operations, the legislation will then be voted on at the Dec. 20th
session. Otherwise, the proposed ban will be tabled indefinitely.

Initiated by Cindy Pikoulas and her husband Jim, along with Siobhan Ciresi of Long Island Sky Watch (LISW), with the assistance of chemtrail opponent Rosalind Peterson of Agriculture Defense Coalition, the bill was finalized and proposed by legislator Edward P. Romaine (1^st District). (Full text below.)

Involved in Suffolk County government since 1989, Romaine
is a fiscal conservative who prioritizes saving farmland and
protecting the environment. In August, he organized Long Island’s first
countywide farmers market, along with the Long Island Farm Bureau.

Romaine has represented the 1^st
District (eastern end of Long Island) continuously since 2005. He
serves on the Environment, Planning & Agriculture Committee, which
voted on Nov. 28 to submit the proposed law banning such aerial spraying
to a public hearing.

The Piloulases and Ciresi will speak on Dec. 6 and are urging people to “pack the hearing” to show support for the ban.

“If
this proposal becomes law in Suffolk County, Long Island, it would be
the first in the nation. It would be a starting point for others to
follow,” said LISW in a press release.

“Eventually, our governments would have to investigate why our trees
are dying in record numbers; why our waters contain toxic levels of
aluminum, barium and strontium; why 90% of us are vitamin D deficient;
why our crops are failing; and where all of this crazy weather is
coming from.”

Cindy Pikoulas of LISW spoke with New York Sky Watch radio
on Nov. 20, when she advised that tree samples from Suffolk show high
levels of barium, strontium and aluminum. She is asking Long Islanders
to have their water and trees tested for these chemicals in order to
build a body of evidence that would spur investigations by health and
environment authorities.

In addition to attending the Dec. 6 hearing, Long Islanders can contact their county legislators via http://legis.suffolkcountyny.gov/legislators.html

Though
exempted under the proposed ban, disease vector spraying may be a
subterfuge for weather control operations, given the extreme rarity of
EEV and WNV. According to the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services:

“Eastern
equine encephalitis (EEE) is a rare but serious viral disease caused
by a virus transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito with more
severe symptoms than for West Nile virus. EEE is an arbovirus (short
for arthropod-borne, meaning spread by insects). Birds are the source
of infection for mosquitoes, which can sometimes transmit the infection
to horses, other animals, and, in rare cases, people.

“West Nile
Virus (WNV) was first seen in the US in 1999, in the New York City area
of Queens. WNV can live in a number of types of birds and is passed
bird to bird by certain types of mosquitoes. Occasionally, an infected
mosquito will pass the virus to humans or other animals. Most healthy
people do not get sick from the virus, but sometimes it may cause
symptoms.”

Per the US Geological Survey,
two horses caught WNV in 2011 and 12 caught EEE, none of them in
Suffolk. Of humans, 43 contracted WNV in New York State in 2011, four
of them in Suffolk County. Only one person contracted EEE in the entire
state.

Of the other
vector-borne diseases of concern to health authorities – St Louis
Encephalitis, La Crosse Encephalitis, Powassan Virus, and
locally-acquired Dengue Fever – no New Yorkers contracted any of them in
2011. (But 40 New Yorkers did contract Dengue Fever when traveling
outside the US in 2011.)

Considering
that the population of NYS is 19 million, the application of toxic
chemicals purportedly to control for such rare vector-borne diseases
where only 44 people became ill in 2011 seems absurd.

US health officials admit
that Ugandans and Egyptians, where WNV was first discovered, develop a
natural immunity before reaching adulthood. Using toxic chemicals
that pollute the environment, leading to cancer and respiratory
diseases, instead of allowing humans to develop immunity to such
diseases, is an unsustainable and irresponsible control method.

Whether
these vector control spray programs are involved in other activities
such as solar radiation or rainfall management is uncertain. But, in
addition to the obvious jets laying chemtrails at 30,000 feet, they may
be involved in contributing to the high levels of aluminum, barium and
strontium found in Suffolk waters and trees.

WHEREAS, there was duly presented and introduced to this County
Legislature at a meeting held on [December 6], 2011, a proposed local
law entitled, "A LOCAL LAW TO PROTECT AIR QUALITY IN SUFFOLK COUNTY"
now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that said local law be enacted in form as follows:

LOCAL LAW NO. _____-2011, SUFFOLK COUNTY, NEW YORK

A LOCAL LAW TO PROTECT AIR QUALITY IN SUFFOLK COUNTY

BE IT ENACTED BY THE COUNTY LEGISLATURE OF THE COUNTY OF SUFFOLK, as follows:

This
Legislature hereby finds and determines that Suffolk County is a
leader in environmental protection and has several programs to protect
soil and groundwater from contamination.

This
Legislature also finds and determines that air pollution is another
environmental issue that can impact the health and safety of County
residents and may also contaminate soil and groundwater.

This
Legislature further finds and determines that concerns have been
raised that business and government entities may be discharging
polluting chemicals, including barium, sulfur, salts, and aluminum
oxide, into the air, which may impact weather and other environmental
elements.

This
Legislature finds that such particulates eventually fall from the
atmosphere, exposing the public to these air pollutants and, upon
landing, may contaminate soil and water.

This
Legislature determines that County residents may be exposed to these
chemicals while they are in the atmosphere, which can cause respiratory
and other health problems.

This
Legislature also finds that, to protect County residents from
potential harm, any person who plans to discharge these chemicals into
the airspace over Suffolk County should first file an Environmental
Impact Statement with and receive approval from the Department of
Health Services, Division of Environmental Quality.

Therefore,
the purpose of this law is to require any person who plans to
discharge sulfur, barium, salts or aluminum oxide into the airspace
above the County of Suffolk to file a complete Environmental Impact
Statement with the County prior to taking such action.

As
used in this law, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated: “PERSON” shall mean any natural person, individual,
corporation, unincorporated association, proprietorship, firm,
partnership, joint venture, joint stock association, or other entity or
business of any kind.

Section 3. Requirements.

Any
person who plans to discharge sulfur, barium, salts or aluminum oxide
into the airspace above the County of Suffolk must file a completed
environmental impact form, as established in Section 4 of this law,
with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, Division of
Environmental Quality and with the Clerk of the Suffolk County
Legislature and receive the approval of the Division of Environmental
Quality prior to engaging in such discharge.

The
Department of Health Services, Division of Environmental Quality is
hereby authorized, empowered and directed to develop an environmental
impact form to be used by persons wishing to discharge sulfur, barium,
salts or aluminum oxide into the airspace above the County of Suffolk. Such
form shall require applicants to detail the nature and purpose of
their proposed discharge and any potential environmental and/or public
health impacts that may result from such discharge.

The
requirements set forth in this law shall not apply to any person
engaging in aerosol spraying for agricultural or vector control
purposes.

A. Any
person who violates any provision of this law shall be liable for a
civil penalty of up to $2,500 for an initial violation, with a fine of
$5,000 for each subsequent violation.

B. Any
civil penalty may only be assessed by the Commissioner of Health
Services following a hearing and opportunity for an alleged violator to
be heard.

The
Commissioner of the County Department of Health Services is hereby
authorized and empowered to issue and promulgate such rules and
regulations as he or she deems necessary to implement and carry out the
provisions of this law.

Section 8. Applicability.

This law shall apply to all actions occurring on or after the effective date of this law.

If
any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or part of this
law or the application thereof to any person, individual, corporation,
firm, partnership, entity, or circumstance shall be adjudged by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional, such
order or judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the
remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the
clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section, or part of this law,
or in its application to the person, individual, corporation, firm,
partnership, entity, or circumstance directly involved in the
controversy in which such order or judgment shall be rendered.

This
Legislature, being the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA)
lead agency, hereby finds and determines that this law constitutes a
Type II action pursuant to Section 617.5(c)(20), (21), and/or (27) of
Title 6 of the NEW YORK CODE OF RULES AND REGULATIONS (6 NYCRR) and
within the meaning of Section 8-0109(2) of the NEW YORK ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSERVATION LAW as a promulgation of regulations, rules, policies,
procedures, and legislative decisions in connection with continuing
agency administration, management and information collection. The
Suffolk County Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) is hereby
directed to circulate any appropriate SEQRA notices of determination of
non-applicability or non-significance in accordance with this law.

This law shall take effect immediately upon filing in the Office of the Secretary of State.
