Seneca Lake Methane Storage Project 31097521420002
May 23, 2012
Inergy has applied for permits for stratigraphic test wells. What they’re doing is opening and preparing depleted salt caverns for Natural Gas Liquid storage (aka fracked gas and fracked gas derivatives like Liquefied Petroleum). Their plan is to be ready to store the glut of gas being produced from fracking as soon as the DEC accepts the EIS as final. This decision could come down any day now and we could become the fracked gas storage and transport capital of the USA.

Storing Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)

A company is proposing to store Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in salt caverns in the town of Reading, 2 miles from Watkins Glen. How does this process work and what are the environmental and safety concerns? Learn more at this informational meeting.
Finger Lakes LPG Storage is seeking approval from NY DEC to store up to 88 million gallons of LPG (propane and butane) in salt caverns near the western shore of Seneca Lake. The facility, straddling Route 14 south of the 14A junction, would include
- Connection to an existing interstate pipeline
- Constructing a 14-acre lined surface pond on the hillside above Seneca Lake, with a capacity to hold 2 million barrels of displaced brine
- Storm water control structures
- Compressors
- Construction of a new rail and truck transfer facility
- LPG storage tanks
- Office and distribution buildings
The salt caverns, currently brine-filled, were created by U.S. Salt and Cargill’s mining operations. To make space for the LPG, some of the brine would be pumped out and placed in the surface pond. As the LPG was needed on a seasonal basis, it would be shipped out by truck and rail. The brine would be moved between the surface pond and the cavern as needed.
There are many questions about safety of this operation, including protection of Seneca Lake as a source of drinking water, possible migration of gases during storage and/or transport, and impact of trucking and rail cars carrying LPG.
The DEC determined that the project could result in enough adverse impacts to require an environmental impact review. The review process grants the public the right to raise questions and make comments. Those comments must be received by the DEC by January 31. Comments can be sent by e-mail to the NY DEC to: David Bimber, Deputy Regional Permit Administrator, at dlbimber@gw.dec.state.ny.us.
