Said Ordinance will be considered by the Board of Supervisors of Wilmington Township at a meeting to be held on February 22, 2015, at the Wilmington Township Municipal Building, 669 Wilson Mill Road, New Castle, PA 16105, at 7:00 P.M. The ordinance amendment would make the following changes to the Zoning Ordinance as to oil/gas activities: 1. Drilling shall be conducted by "closed-loop" systems that eliminate on-site retention pits and, instead, collect debris in protected containers that are carted to off-site landfills. 2 Drilling shall also be conducted by use of "green completion systems". Instance of flaring off the gas, the drilling process shall capture and separate the mixed gases, liquids and other substances that flow from the well, and direct them either into a pipeline or into a portable green completion system (as currently required by the Environmental Protection Agency). 3. Items No. 1 and 2 shall be required unless the Applicant can demonstrate that drilling cannot effectively be accomplished by those systems, and an alternative system is necessary in order to extract the gas. 4. In the event that an on-site retention pit is made necessary by conditions at the well-site, there may not be any storage of material generated from other drilling sites. 5. Compressor stations must be fueled either by natural gas or by electricity, and not by diesel motors, in order to reduce noise, unless the Applicant shall demonstrate that adequate compression can not be achieved except by diesel. 6. Screening by mounding soil, solid fencing, and/or planting evergreen trees and scrubs stategically around the compressor station, or enclosure within a building or other sound-muffling system may be required if necessary in order to protect neighboring uses from noise, depending on the conditions at the compressor station site. 7. Change 800.21.5 (A) as to noise abatement for wells: measure at the nearest property line, instead of "at the nearest building," in order to take into consideration the need for future residential development. (2) that defines "building." This standard already applies to compressor stations. 8. Change fees for consultants incurred by the Township in 800.21.7 (B); to "all reasonable and necessary" professional consultant fees incurred by the Township; eliminate the $5,000.00 cap per well site. 9. Change fees for consultants in 800.21a.6 (B) to "all reasonable and necessary" professional consultant fees incurred by the Township; eliminate the $2,000.00 per cap. The arbitration clause will serve as a reasonable check on unreasonable charges. 10. Limitation of sites for locating wells and compressor stations must consider the probability of air pollution being aggravated by topographical conditions, such as, but not limited to, vulnerable-low-level areas of residential or other habitation uses likely to be affected; (for example, Cottage Grove). Copies of the proposed Ordinance may be examined at the Wilmington Township Municipal Building, 669 Wilson Mill Road, New Castle, PA 16105, at the offices of the New Castle News, North Mercer Street, New Castle, Pennsylvania, 16101 and at the Lawrence County Courthouse, Court Street, New Castle, PA 16101, during regular business hours.
