Sierra Club opposes drilling in Finger Lakes forest plan
The Finger Lakes Sierra Club and other groups oppose a proposal to allow natural gas exploration in 68 percent of a Finger Lakes forest near Seneca Lake. Twarkins cites 16 to 11 wells with two to three per site and needed clearing for roads and pipelines. Opponents warn of habitat loss, traffic, noise, and landscape impact, while proponents urge domestic gas supply and local economic benefits. Public comment continues ahead of a draft environmental impact statement due late January or early February.
