West Deer to Hold Sept. Public Hearing on O&G Drilling Ordinance

In May, the supervisors of West Deer Township (Allegheny County), PA, held a regular monthly meeting. One item on the agenda was the potential adoption of revisions to the town’s oil and gas drilling ordinance. A number of (supposed) residents showed up to question the revisions and ask for stricter setbacks (a bigger distance from drilling to homes and other structures). Ultimately, the supervisors decided to delay a vote on the revisions, pushing it off until a future meeting (see West Deer Supervisors Delay Vote on New O&G Drilling Ordinance). Last Wednesday at the regular monthly meeting, the supervisors announced yet another public hearing on proposed changes to Ordinance 454 --- at 6 p.m. on Sept. 18.
