The site is in Western New York -- a rural area 30 miles south of Rochester in the Genesee Valley. The focus of the project is the Hampton Corners underground salt mine, a three-year-old operation that is the fastest growing salt mine in the world. The surface facilities of the mine are shown here -- a contentious project given that it was established to replace the nearby Retsof mine which partially collapsed in 1994 after 109 years of uninterrupted production. The subsequent flooding of Retsof caused surface subsidence, left wells dry, and created two large sinkholes. The Retsof mine will continue to shape the land as 8 to 9 feet of additional subsidence is expected over the next century. During that time the Hampton Corners mine is scheduled to extract 2.5 million tons of salt per year. next
