Seneca at a Crossroads Forum
being held at the
Watkins Glen High School Auditorium
on Thursday. April 14th
from 7-9pm.
This Forum is being held to inform the public about how out of state
Inergy LP plans to store hundreds of millions of gallons of LPG
(liquefied petroleum gas) in salt caverns right next to and under
Seneca Lake. They also plan to store nearly a hundred million gallons
of very salty Brine in a 14 acre open pit on the steep slope above the
lake.
I think this is the most significant threat to our Finger Lakes today
and is directly related to NY State's Marcellus Shale gas and the
hydrofracking that they think is imminent. Please plan on attending
this event and learn the facts surrounding this project. Please
forward this email to everyone you know, share it on Facebook, shout
from the hilltops.
As Inergy says on their website, they want the Finger Lakes to be the
Gas Storage and Transportation Hub for the North East!! Well, I say we
don't want them to turn the land we love into an industrial wasteland!!
