State Land In Caroline, Leased For N. Gas

Here is a link to the DEC Uplands Management Plan http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/49834.html which the Caroline Town Board recently received.

This plan includes two State forest areas with acreage in Caroline that have been leased for natural gas development. In 2006 Fortuna was awarded a lease for Potato Hill. In 2006 Chesapeake was awarded a lease for Robinson Hollow. There are maps in the link showing which sections the State has deemed appropriate for surface activities such as well pads, roads, pipelines, etc; such development would have to comply with the 1992 GEIS outline until there is a supplement to the 1992 material.
