Setback for Opponents of Seneca Lake LPG Storage

A setback has been issued for opponents of the proposal to store liquid petroleum gas in depleted salt caverns near Seneca Lake.  In a filing dated September 8th, an administrative law judge issued a ruling that there is no need for further hearings on the issues raised by “Gas Free Seneca” and similar groups.  The document states that “petitioners fail to raise any adjudicable issues.”  Reportedly, Gas Free Seneca expects to appeal the ruling to the DEC.  They have until October 20th to do so.
