Clara Twp, PA Considers Illegal Home Rule to Stop Injection Well

A third Pennsylvania township, Clara Township in Potter County, is about to be lured onto the same litigation rocks by the siren song of the uber-radical Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF) as two other towns, by adopting an illegal "home rule" law in an attempt to block a new wastewater injection well. CELDF lured two other towns onto the same litigation rocks, where they've crashed--Grant Township in Indiana County and Highland Township in Elk County. Both towns were sued by the state Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) when they tried to block injection wells using the same home rule tactic (see PA DEP Issues 2 Wastewater Injection Well Permits, Sues 2 Towns). Now it's Clara Township's turn.
