PEC Urges Caution on Drilling Legislation

PEC opposes legislation aimed at providing unmeasured access on state-owned land.

The Pennsylvania Environmental Council has sent a letter to the Senate and House Environmental Resources & Energy Committees, urging them to oppose legislation -- Senate Bill 1127 and Special Session House Bill 32, respectively -- that would expedite gas and oil drilling on state-owned land.  This legislation runs counter to resource-protection recommendations developed by the Joint Conservation Committee in 2006. 

A copy of PEC's letter is attached.
