OF ENVIRONMENATL CONSERVATION National Hunting and Fishing Day (Saturday, September 22, 2018) is one of six Free Fishing Days in New York State. During these days, anyone can fish the freshwaters of New York State without the need for a fishing license. FROM NYSEG-Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Natural gas transmission pipelines often run through rights of way on private property, unlike natural gas distribution lines that most often run under or alongside streets and roads. Transmission lines are often, but not always, marked with line markers that indicate the approximate location of the pipelines. Information on line markers includes the owner of the pipeline, the product in the pipeline and an emergency phone number. Below are some important reminders to keep you and your family safe: * Use your senses to detect natural gas leaks. A natural gas leak is usually recognized by smell, sight or sound. A distinctive sulfur-like odor, similar to rotten eggs, is added to natural gas so you'll recognize it quickly. * If you suspect a natural gas leak, get up, get out and get away! Then call us immediately at 1.800.572.1121 or 911 from a safe location. We'll respond quickly to make sure you and your family are safe. * Safe digging is no accident. Please call Dig Safely New York at 811 at least two days, but not more than 10 days, in advance of your work, so utility operators in your area can mark any buried utility lines before you start your work. * Have your heating system, chimney, flues and vents checked* once a year by a professional.
