zoning (R-AG) district.
Attorney Matthew P. Heiskell with
Spilman, Thomas & Battle PLLC
reports the Commonwealth Court in late
June filed a memorandum opinion in
Delaware Riverkeeper Network v.
Middlesex Township Zoning Hearing
Board, reaffirming its 2017 decision to
reject Butler County, Pa.'s Ordinance
127, which allows regulated oil and gas
development in R-AG zones.
Heiskell notes the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court ordered the
Commonwealth Court to reconsider its
2017 decision in light of the high
court's rulings related to
Pennsylvania's Environmental Rights
Amendment (ERA).
On rehearing, Heiskell says, "The
Commonwealth Court again ruled
Ordinance 127 was permissible, even
when considering Pennsylvania's ERA,
noting the township's history (has been)
'steeped' in oil and gas development
since the mid-19th Century."
In its June ruling, the
Commonwealth Court acknowledges
that "the precise duties imposed on
local governments by (the ERA) are
by no means clear." It cites findings by
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that
the ERA "does not call for a stagnant
landscape," nor "for the derailment of
economic or social development."
The Commonwealth Court also notes
that Supreme Court rulings on the ERA
do require local governments to enact
"specific affirmative measures" to
protect the environment.
Observing that, "Zoning accounts
for the 'natural, scenic, historical and
esthetic values of the environment,'"
the Commonwealth Court reasons, "It
is axiomatic that a zoning ordinance
must balance the public interests with
the due process rights of private
property owners."
Finding that the plaintiffs in
Delaware Riverkeeper Network did not
prove that Ordinance 127
unreasonably impaired their ERA
rights, the court ruled the ordinance
did not violate the ERA. ❒
GAO Report Questions
EPA Appointments To
Advisory Committees
WASHINGTON-A report from the
U.S. Government Accountability Office
finds improprieties with the way the
Environmental Protection Agency
appointed members to two of its
advisory committees in fiscal 2018.
According to the statement of J.
Alfredo Gomez, GAO director for
natural resources and environment,
prepared for delivery to congressional
subcommittees on July 16, EPA:
· Did not follow a key step for
appointing 20 members to its Science
Advisory Board and its Clean Air Act
Scientific Advisory Committee; and
· Failed to obtain 17 of 74 financial
disclosure forms from potential
committee members.
On the first shortcoming listed,
Gomez explained that the 2018
appointment packets in question "did
not contain documents reflecting EPA
