Syosset, New York - The U.S. Department of Energy, The Greater Long Island Clean Cities Coalition, and
the Town of Oyster Bay will be hosting the Grand Opening of a new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) station
on Long Island. The station was funded by The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.
A portion of GLICCC’s $15 million fund award from the U.S. Department of Energy (D.O.E.) was used for
the project.

The station was built by Engineered Energy Solutions (EES) and uses ANGI Energy Systems fueling
equipment. Owned by the Town of Oyster Bay and operated by EES for use by the Town’s CNG fleet, the
station will also be open to the public. P.W. Grosser Consulting designed the station, which includes three
fast-fill pumps with six hoses and 50 time-fill posts. The station is located at 150 Miller Place in Syosset (on
Long Island Expressway North service road).

The Town of Oyster Bay purchased 19 new CNG refuse trucks, and retrofitted 31 trucks to CNG. The town
also modified the maintenance facilities at the site to be CNG compliant.

The total project cost will be $15,350,660, with the Department of Energy contributing $5,823,529 and the
Town of Oyster Bay accounting for $9,527,131 in cost share.
