Tompkins County - Town of Caroline
In 2012, Town of Caroline in Tompkins County, New York passed a one-year ban on hydraulic fracturing.
"A one-year moratorium gives the town the space and time to work on a number of different issues," Town Supervisor Don Barber said. Road preservation, industrial site plan review, and critical environmental and aquifer protection plans must all be considered, he said.
