Though it is currently without a date or a place, the 300 people who signed up to speak during the original EPA meeting will remain on the list when it is rescheduled, a marketing firm hired by the EPA announced Wednesday.

Those who canceled because of the meeting's abrupt move to Syracuse will still remain on the list, The Cadmus Group said in an e-mail.

The list of those registered to attend but not speak will also be preserved.

Also Wednesday, several environmental groups -- including the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter and Environmental Advocates of New York -- called on the EPA to promptly reschedule the meeting and extend the public comment period on its study. EPA researchers have said they hope to unveil a study design in September.
