An update on the state’s largest landfill, located in the heart of the FLX, and its Texas owned corporation that wants it to grow:

To the Editor:

Having lived my entire life in Geneva, enjoying the unique beauty of the Finger Lakes, I am appalled by what has happened to this beautiful area.

Much time and money has been spent on making this a tourist destination. With increasing wineries, hotels and a future boat museum, this area has much to offer.

Tourists coming to the beautiful Finger Lakes are now greeted by endless lines of filthy — inside and out — trash-hauling trucks. The truck traffic has greatly increased, leaving the gateway to our beautiful Finger Lakes blocked by these filthy trucks.

In addition to the truck problem, how many have noticed the change in our landscape? The huge trash-filled mountains that invade this entire area can be seen for miles.

Does the entire Finger Lakes have to be held hostage by these trash haulers? Isn’t it time to protect our unique, beautiful Finger Lakes? Are we supposed to sit by and permit this to happen?

Welcome to Seneca Lake Guardian

Our Lakes Need a Good Guardian

The Leadership Team of Gas Free Seneca, responsible for winning the battle against a proposed gas storage and transport hub in the Finger Lakes, has formed Seneca Lake Guardian, A Waterkeeper Alliance Affiliate, the only organization dedicated to actively working to protect the Finger Lakes from dirty industrial projects that could threaten the health of our lakes, our rural community character, the Finger Lakes Brand, or the livelihoods of the small business owners who depend on the lakes for their success. Our lakes are at risk. We need a good Guardian to protect them.

Seneca Lake Guardian is a New York State Not-for-Profit Corporation with 501(c)(3) and is dedicated to preserving and protecting the health of the Finger Lakes, its residents and visitors, its rural community character, and its agricultural and tourist related businesses through public education, citizen participation, engagement with decision makers, and networking with like-minded organizations.
