Grant Twp Asks PA Supreme Court to Ban Injection Wells

Since 2015 we’ve reported on the case of Grant Township (Indiana County, PA), a town that passed an ordinance cooked up by the radical Big Green group Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF) to try and block a state-approved injection well proposed by Pennsylvania General Energy (see our Grant Township articles here). There have been number of legal twists and turns--with Grant losing every single time. In a Hail Mary move, the township (and its CELDF-paid attorneys) appealed a Commonwealth Court decision to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The new (and good) news is that the state Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) is still fighting Grant's illegal attempt to regulate oil and gas within the township.
