• DEC details air permit standards for Mineville whiskey warehouses (adirondackexplorer.org) — State environmental officials are moving to require WhistlePig's whiskey-aging warehouses in Mineville to obtain a major-source air permit and control large ethanol emissions linked to widespread whiskey fungus on nearby homes. Neighbors have been receiving free house-washing while regulators now say the facility's vents no longer qualify as "fugitive" emissions, potentially making Mineville a test case for national distillery air rules.
