New York: 15 Arrested in Protest Against Gas Storage at Seneca Lake

HeadlineNov 04, 2014

In upstate New York, 15 people were arrested as they blocked the gates of a gas facility to protest plans to create a gas storage hub in the Finger Lakes region. Under the banner of “We Are Seneca Lake,” area residents are seeking to block plans by the Texas-based company Crestwood Midstream to expand storage of natural gas in underground salt caverns. They say the plan threatens both the climate and Seneca Lake, which provides drinking water to 100,000 people.
