(Canandaigua, NY) - Canandaigua City Manager Kay James says there are false rumors circulating in the community that Canandaigua Lake has been polluted by hydrofracking. Some people believe that the city is treating hydrofracking waste at its water treatment facility, but James says that's not the case.

James says the city used to accept for treatment groundwater generated by gas-well drilling operations, but it has not done so since the fall of 2009. In April 2011, the Canandaigua City Council adopted a resolution affirming the existing policy of not accepting wastewater at its plant from any gas-well drilling operations.

It's my opinion having watched the FLI from it's startup produce nothing of value. It is my opinion that the FLI should be leading in protecting the lakes by advancing solutions to the challenges. The DEC knows what the problems are with the lakes.
Those opinions give me an advantage in dealing with gasbags like you who post opinions with no substance.

those leaving Birkenstock tracks as thy migrate in smelly lines from Ithaca to instruct us rubes. For chrissake

Didn't Christ wear sandals?

Your confused - scientists' are not responsible for "actionable recommendations" to communities. They use the scientific method to assess and report findings. They are not in the business of telling folks what to do. Thats where the democracy and the people's right to organize come in.

Its called democracy in action. If you don't like it leave the country.

They harass landfill employee's kids at school.

Obviously it's not working when their numbers are less than 100. You've got a vocal minority of less than 100 trying to force their views on the majority of residents. I don't call that democracy. Fortunately you haven't got your way on to many things.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

OOOOOOOOOPSY...what have we here....bad frack air needs to be controlled....thought it was safe....NOT

WASHINGTON — TheU.S. Environmental Protection Agencyissued regulations that for the first time will curtail air pollution from natural gas wells that use a controversial production technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.

Who said that? Nothing wrong with new regs. One less thing for you to cry and whine about.

One of you landfill supporters on here (I am not sure who now) said that these groups were all elderly people! These do not sound like the tactics of elderly people! Especially harassing kids at school!

rj1, butthead and all your other aliases...the support you claim for dirty industries serving corporations are as one sided and biased as those of your opponents. You speak out of both sides of your collective mouth. You too are vocal minority. Most people are simply indifferent until something happens to them or for them...no engagement of the brain.

And as for all the good science you portend to report; it's only good until there is an accident. Zealots on both sides of the issue cloud reality.

My life isn't so wonderful. I had to move away from the Finger Lakes for lack of income potential. I miss it.

As for the need of dirty industries..of course we need them! But just how dirty, how invasive at a location or at what cost to the environment. It won't be so cut and dry if something happens, and your claims that nothing will happen are as specious as those who claim something definitely will.

You take caution as a disregard for need of a service, and it is clear from the firing of the former head of the DEC that telling the truth about being unable to manage all that must be managed to protect the state was too telling for the corporate sponsors of political leaders.

Like I say, everyone involved in this kind of discussion is generally polarized to a point of view. Just don't forget you are polarized too. There seems to be sense to both points of view. The answers do not lie at either pole but in some measure of clear judgement, none of which seems to prevail.

Off to work...hope to read somemore discussion of this here this week.
