Cecil Twp About to Ban New Fracking – Will Other PA Towns Follow?

In September, the Board of Supervisors for Cecil Township in Washington County, PA, caved to pressure from radical leftists and, by a vote of 3-2, instructed the town’s solicitor to prepare a new zoning ordinance that increases setbacks from “protected structures” from 500 feet to 2,500 feet (half a mile), and add a setback of 5,000 feet from schools and hospitals (almost a full mile, see Cecil Twp Hellbent to Ban New Shale Drilling via 2,500-Ft Setback). It is a ban on new shale drilling in the township, plain and simple. The board will meet tonight at 6 pm to discuss and then attempt to ram through this horrible ordinance. It's time to pack the hearing and make your voice heard!
