Property Owners Concerned with Proposed Quarry Near White Lake
A property owner on White Lake is very concerned with what he s learning is a proposed pink granite quarry to be developed adjacent to his property.
Devan Cornish lives in the Rochester area most of the year, but calls White Lake a Summer getaway. He and other property owners were recently sent a letter notifying them of a permit application filed with the Adirondack Park Agency to build a quarry on the State Route 28 side of White Lake.
Cornish posted to the Forestport NY Community (friends) Facebook group his concerns over the issue and talked about the fact that his camp sits on a ridge of pink granite, the material they want to quarry for. Cornish was curious why they would allow this to happen or why they would want it to happen, based on the pristine condition of the spring fed lake. He calls White Lake the cleanest lake in the park.

While Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Regional Director Randall Young usually takes the lead on this column, he has handed it over to me this month to highlight DECâs successful Womenâs Initiative. The initiative started three years ago after a group of women brought the idea to DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos, who encouraged its creation as a way to provide new opportunities for professional growth and to foster career development for women in the agency.
Outcomes of the initiative include providing opportunities for the women of the DEC to connect with colleagues statewide through mentoring opportunities and a speakersâ series in which DEC staff participate as panelists on a variety of topics. These events are usually held during lunch hours and if staff canât attend, the sessions are recorded to view at a later date.
