I created this map today based on latest Broome County Lease maps.
Note how much purple (leases) in the Town of Sanford.
Note also Bluestone Gatherning line terminates in Sanford.
Sanford is clearly a kind of "Ground Zero" for fracking
in Broome County and New York State.
NRDC/Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy
has just sued the Town of Sanford
in Federal Court over censorship of gas discussion
at public meetings.

UPDATE: I've updated this image with a) The current route of the proposed Constitution Pipeline, and b) new leases which are in the thumbnail for the current Broome County maps, but not on the maps themselves. (curious)

good, they need to be sued;
for restricting public comments and
participation.
this is not the Soviet Union !!
I agree...maybe the town of Colesville should be sued as well...there is land across the road from me that is leased....Colesville is planning on allowing drilling...
