I don't believe the NYSDEC posted the senator's letter on their site, but it was copied to these people -

Ms. Abby Snyder, Regional Director, NYSDEC
Mr. John Bordynuik, President and CEO, JBI, Inc.
Dr. Jacob Smith, Chief Operating Officer, JBI, Inc.
Mr. Bob Molodynia, Vice President, Business Development, JBI, Inc.

SO, why did it get "released" only yesterday?

Another point to note - he visited the 20 Iroquois St location on 18 Oct 10 and wrote the letter on the same day - he must have been very "excited".

October 18, 2010

Mr. Alexander “Pete” Grannis, Commissioner
NYS Department of Environmental Conservation

Re: Plastic2Oil facility in Niagara Falls, NY

Dear Commissioner Grannis:

I was given a tour of the Plastic2Oil facility at 20 Iroquois Street in Niagara Falls on Monday, October 18th, and I am excited about the potential for this technology to cleanly transform our plastics waste stream into useable fuel, while creating green jobs.

I would like to take this opportunity to urge DEC to proceed vigorously in the permitting of this facility. Of course I would never suggest short-changing scientific rigor and a thorough, professional examination of the issues related to the permit. I am merely requesting that DEC devote adequate staff and resources to complete the full environmental review process without any undue delays.

Commissioner, I appreciate your attention to this request.

Sincerely,
Antoine M. Thompson
New York State Senate, 60th
District
Chair, Senate Environmental Conservation Committee
