Looks like there will be quite a bit of traffic around and right next to the Cannonsville Reservoir, the westernmost NYC watershed reservoir.  If you magnify the cuttings route, you’ll see they’re also taking the cuttings right along the reservoir, and though they don’t show the liquid waste removal route from the wellpad, it’s likely they’ll use that route too. And likely they’ll also be bringing chemicals via that route – not a good idea.  A spill into the NYC reservoir would have adverse consequences.
