I've previously discussed how the debate over Cornell's controversial Lake Source Cooling (LSC) project has been heating up this summer.
This past week, an overseeing committee voted 4-4 on whether to increase monitoring of LSC, which results in nothing happening. This is undoubtedly a victory for Cornell, and will lead to further grumblings from area residents about exactly what effects LSC is causing for the local environment.
Amid concerns about whether a non-political body should get involved in the sometimes heated debate on Lake Source Cooling, the special joint committee that oversees the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility narrowly defeated a resolution intended to support its lab director in advocating for more monitoring of Cornell University's cooling program.
At its Wednesday afternoon meeting, the committee voted 4-4 on a resolution that would have supported the formal participation of sewage plant staff on the Tompkins County Water Resources Council/Cornell University partnership.
