Act 13 a disaster for Pa. property owners Updated: 03/01/2012 12:48:29 PM EST




Anew, bigger, crisis is facing Pennsylvania homeowners.

Pennsylvania now has a new state law known as Act 13, which places impact fees on natural gas drilling, yet deprives homeowners of any control over what happens in their own backyard.

Act 13 goes beyond being industry friendly. Left in place, this law provides a legal blueprint for the environmental destruction of Pennsylvania negatively impacting all citizens. Homeowners are endangered because the law "preempts and supersedes" local zoning. This law requires that gas drilling must be a permitted use in all zoning districts.

Act 13 contains a litany of restrictions as not to impede the gas industry and does almost nothing to define or limit the operations of gas drillers.
