The Adirondack Council urged the New York Department of Environmental Conservation June 25 to reconsider a plan to close one of its acid rain monitoring stations in the southwestern portion of Adirondack Park, saying the site provides 25 years of historic monitoring data and should not be supplanted by a nearby federal monitoring station. The statewide plan proposed closing the station at Nick’s Lake near Old Forge because it is considered redundant with a nearby station operated under the National Atmospheric Deposition Program.
