Early this year Bo Lindsay made this useful PDF file enabling others to stay informed on the DEC’s status of pending gas well applications in NYS. Unlike PA, NYS has no single URL that displays this data. Without these instructions there is no other way to access and to stay informed on status of individual gas wells. An example of the DEC data is shown at the top of the PDF.

The file has just been revised to include a live clickable link to the DEC’s site to avoid manually typing the long URL. Thanks to Bo for this useful tool.
