Cecil Twp Supervisors Pull the Trigger on Frack Ban Via Setbacks
Let the lawsuits begin. Last night, three of five supervisors in Cecil Township (Washington County), PA, voted to ban all new fracking via a new setback (distance from well to nearest structure) requirement of 2,500 feet (see Cecil Twp About to Ban New Fracking – Will Other PA Towns Follow?).

Voters in Cecil now know who to vote out of office, as the terms for those voting to ban fracking will come due over the next few years.
