Jeff Murray reports on the Stargazette.com - “Schlumberger Technology Corp. has yet to answer all of the questions Horseheads officials have about a new natural gas drilling service facility in the village.

But those answers should be available within a week, a consultant working with the company told the village planning board Tuesday.

It was standing room only again at Tuesday’s meeting, as residents who are concerned about the potential environmental impact of the $30 million project showed up to gather more information about Schlumberger.

Unlike the last meeting, when residents spent more than an hour asking questions and commenting on the project, planning board Chairman Raymond Fortier stated at the beginning of the meeting that there would be no public comments allowed this time.”
