Based on photos posted shortly after 2:00 pm on Monday afternoon to the Twitter account @WeAreSenecaLake, it looks like several more protesters, as many as 23, have been arrested after attempting to block the entrances to the Crestwood natural gas storage facility in Reading near Watkins Glen. Below are the recent Tweets from the account which describes themselves as “A grassroots resistance against Crestwood’s proposed gas storage in salt caverns on Seneca Lake.”
