Calling all Photographers!!
Once again, the CLA’s Directory Committee is seeking photos to be considered for use in our next Directory. But for 2012 there’s something special going on. It’s the 75th anniversary of our annual directory—and the 80th anniversary of the CLA itself. So to make this directory better than ever, we’re planning to include a section of “historical” photos and perhaps use one of them as the cover!
On November 21, 2011, the Conesus Lake Association sent our comments to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation regarding the draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (dSGEIS) on horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracking) as a method of gas extraction from the Marcellus Shale. The letter reviews our adopted position (March 2011), and our concern about moving forward with permitting prior to the completion of Federal and State research into the implications of hydrofracking on critical water and related land resource issues. Until the completion of these Government studies, the CLA believes that the current New York State moratorium on hydrofracking should be extended; and no drilling permits issued.
