Helen Slottje, Attorney at Law Helen is an attorney for Community Environmental Defense Council, Inc., a nonprofit environmental law firm based in Ithaca. She is lead attorney on the lawsuit challenging the Village of Horseheads’ finding that there would be no significant environmental impact from a new 88 acre drilling services facility operating right in the town. Helen also works with landowners who are trying to understand their leases, students at Cornell’s Water and Land Clinic, and other community groups trying to protect themselves from the negative impacts of the new drilling practices and volume of wells slated for towns like ours that lie above the Marcellus shale. |
