An upstate New York environmental group is petitioning the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to put a halt to a controversial pipeline project.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- Environmental advocates are in high hopes after recent EPA documents were released.
The group Toxics Targeting says New York state has led the country in reducing gas and oil production for the last 8 years.

For years, there have been opposition, protests and even arrests in an effort to keep a controversial project from moving forward.
The plan to build a new gas storage facility on Seneca Lake has been called dangerous by activists -- a hazard to the water, and to people's health, a mistake that's been made one too many times.

New documents released by an environmental advocacy group are showing that Seneca Lake has been polluted multiple times over the past decade.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- Environmental advocates are calling on the DEC to do something about an abandoned pipeline in the Southern Tier.

Seneca Lake is one of the most popular tourist destinations in New York.

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Local environmental groups are speaking out about the new proposed expansion of a pipeline that would run through the Southern Tier and Mohawk Valley.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- Toxics Targeting is fighting against waterless hydraulic fracking.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- "Shock. I was stunned. I literally couldn't believe it. I was enormously relieved," said Toxics Targeting President Walter Hang.

It's a feeling many clean energy advocates shared in the wake of Friday's decision regarding the Constitution Pipeline.

From the Morning Memo:
Last year, for the first time in a long time, the highly energized and organized anti-fracking movement gathered in Albany on State of the State day to cheer – rather than jeer – Gov. Cuomo.
