LANSING, N.Y. (WHCU) — Water is reportedly leaking into Cargill’s Cayuga Lake salt mine.
The company is looking to add an underground storage area to help. Finger Lakes One reports over a million gallons of water is expected to leak each month.
State officials are reviewing the storage area application.
In November, the Tompkins County Legislature urged Governor Hochul to require a review of Cargill’s operations.
