	Brooklyn Navy Yard - Commissioner Ruling 2 October 21, 1993
		NYPIRG asks that the specifics of how these requirements will be implemented be included in the permits for the facility.
		I note that during the proceeding, although NYPIRG argued that emission offsets should be required, it never requested that the permit condition specify the precise sources that would be used as offsets, apparently recognizing that the particular sources would be specified in the course of the Department's administration of the permit.
		NYPIRG states that newly adopted subdivision ECL 19-0302(2), codified as part of the Clean Air Compliance Act, requires that any performance, emission or control standard more stringent than what is required under the amended Federal Clean Air Act (Pub.

	Stark Raving Rochester (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		NYPIRG is now heading toward a trend of propaganda and bandwagoning to simply bring in money without concern for the education of the public, or even of NYPIRG’s own employees and members.
		The studies represented on NYPIRG’s flyers and that were used as a main source of information for the NYPIRG folks came from the American Cancer Society, and the statistics from a NYPIRG survey group.
		NYPIRG is supposed to be on the side of the independent businessman.

		But Gunther said if NYPIRG is truly apolitical, then Horner "shouldn't have any problem" with giving students more say in how their money is used.

		(NYPIRG's statement in opposition to the stadium follows this release.) In its statement, NYPIRG noted that stadia have a poor track record generating revenue and that if the city's financing scheme falters, city taxpayers would be on the hook.
		Russianoff said that NYPIRG was also very troubled by legislation recently proposed by Governor Pataki, which would severely limit environmental challenges to the related expansion of the Javits Convention Center and possibly to the stadium.
		NYPIRG is also very troubled by a provision in the proposed and related Convention Center legislation which would eliminate Supreme Court review of environmental challenges to the project.

	The New Paltz Oracle - NYPIRG provides affordable textbooks
		Students should stop by the NYPIRG office, located in room 322 of the Student Union Building, and fill out an application listing textbooks they would like to sell, as well as textbooks they are looking to purchase.
		Jamie Varriale, a sophomore, said that "It (the NYPIRG book exchange) is something that I would like to say I'd take part in, however, to be perfectly honest, I'm lazy." However, Varriale added that if the service were available online, she would be much more apt to actually use it.
		NYPIRG is also working on affiliating the book buy back system with Student Government which will only make the service more widely available and hopefully, raise student awareness.

	Article \| Lead Paint Scam
		In fact, the NYPIRG study actually underscores the progress here: The great majority of the children it claims are suffering from "lead poisoning" fall into the lowest risk classification - that is, its "victims" have significantly lower lead levels than did the average American child of 25 years ago.
		NYPIRG's "solution" is also hysterically overwrought: Replace the city's 1998 lead-paint law with a much tougher measure, now before the City Council, that would force landlords and homeowners to remove lead paint wherever it's found, even where it isn't exposed and where disturbing the paint might do more harm than simply containing it.
		But the new law would set off a wave of suits, overburdening New York's already strained budget, because it makes it easier to sue landlords, including the city, even in cases where it's not clear that it is a child's home that is the cause of lead contamination.

	Litigation on New York's air-emission permits -- April 10, 2002
		In the lawsuit, NYPIRG is challenging the EPA's final approval to the Title V permit program, its response to a NYPIRG petition on alleged program deficiencies, and EPA's approval of three specific permits.
		NYPIRG believes that most provisions of pre-Title V permits should be considered federally enforceable conditions of Title V permits, Pokalsky said.
		NYPIRG is arguing that in cases where the state permit is implementing a federal requirement, the state's excuse provision should not apply.

		NYPIRG's report was released in June 2002, and its impact was powerful and immediate.
		NYPIRG's maps were displayed prominently and referred to repeatedly during the hearing, helping provide the caucus members with a clear picture of the importance of the issue in their districts.

		In a 1986 report, NYPIRG described two discrete observations—that an urban estuary was polluted and that particular landfills had leaks—under a heading whose implication was that leakage from the landfills had polluted the estuary.
		Another 1986 NYPIRG report, The Burning Question: Garbage Incineration vs. Total Recycling in New York City, purports to be a demonstration of the feasibility of recycling 60 to 90 percent of New York City's solid waste.
		For example, NYPIRG assigned to park waste alone (i.e., grass and leaves at city parks) the quantity of waste assigned to food and yard waste together in the government database the group said was its resource.
