2019 Final Aquifer Study Release
In response to the Enfield Community’s requests to better understand our water resources, the Enfield Town Board enlisted the help of the Tompkins County Planning Department and the USGS (United States Geological Survey) to conduct an Aquifer Study. This work commenced as a result of the Town’s effort to prevent slick-water hydraulic fracturing (fracking) in Enfield in 2010-2013. An Aquifer Study was a condition of the Moratorium on Gas Drilling of 2012 – the precursor to the current Ban on Gas Exploration, Storage, and Drilling Activities.
The final study is now complete and available to view online.
