  • When the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) in the state of New York, US, approved NYCO Minerals' plan to explore wollastonite resources near the town of Lewis, APA's State Land Committee chairman, Richard Booth, said, "Obviously, this is controversial," further stating, "This may well get litigated and that's not a surprise," adding that opponents to NYCO's plan might continue to fight by taking the APA to court.

    "The people of the state would give up 200 acres of Forest Preserve next to an existing wollastonite mine and receive at least 1,500 acres of land containing a better wildlife habitat as well as greater recreational opportunities," William Janeway, the Adirondack Council executive director, said in a statement following the decision to go ahead with the land-swap, adding, "Over time, those 200 acres will come back into the Forest Preserve."
