Westmoreland County Twp Approves Olympus Well Pad

| | | | |

Olympus Energy (formerly Huntley & Huntley) drills in the Greater Pittsburgh region, in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties. The company plans to drill a series of new wells (and a well pad) in Washington Township in Westmoreland County. In January we told you about a snag with plans to build the well pad and drill the wells (see Olympus Well in Westmoreland County on Hold Pending Road Issues). Residents along a proposed road accessing the site don’t want the truck traffic on their narrow (18-foot-wide) road. Olympus doesn’t want to use an alternate route due to a sharp turn. After much talk and negotiation, township supervisors approved the Olympus plan. Some local residents are not happy.
