not in any way support natural
gas drilling in Harveys Lake Bor-
ough, but I cannot and will not vi-
olate state law to stop it,” before
voting no on the ordinance.
fam Councilman Boyd Barber ab-
tained from voting at the advice
of the borough solicitor because
he has signed gas leases for prop-
erty he owns in Wyoming Coun-
Ordinance backers touted the
ordinance as offering more pro-
tection for the borough than its
zoning ordinance can provide.
“We don’t control the wa-
tershed because we're in a bowl,
and to the extent that this ordi-
nance can help us do that, I think
that the council should consider
it,” resident Mike Dziak said.
“I'm concerned about our ability
to control things that aren’t in our
hands, and it isn’t in our hands,
and the zoning thing just doesn’t
doit.”
Others, including Harveys
Lake Environmental Advisory
Council member Michael Daley,
borough planning consultant
Jack Varaly and borough Solic-
itor Charles D. McCormick ar-
gued enacting the ordinance
could expose the borough to le-
gal liability.
Daley called the ordinance “le-
gal gamesmanship” and “a gam-
ble” that “clearly violates the
state oil and gas law” that could
cost the borough hundreds of
thousands to defend in court.
Varaly said the ability to ban
gas drilling is ultimately a ques-
tion of land use and falls under
the authority of municipal zon-
ing, and described how the bor-
ough could strengthen its zoning
ordinance to effectively prohibit
drilling without adopting the or-
dinance.
McCormick called the ordi-
nance “overly broad” and “legally
questionable,” particularly in its
outlining of the inalienable rights
of natural communities and eco-
systems, and said “it will most
likely cause significant difficulty
for the residents down the road
completely outside of the ques-
tion of the gas drilling.”
After the meeting, Boice said
she was disappointed that coun-
cil did not adopt the ordinance
and that she “won’t give up. I'll
continue. This isn’t the last Har-
veys Lake has heard from us.
“We're going to try to support
people in the upcoming election
who are going to honor the will of
the people,” she continued. “We,
- meaning the people of Harveys
Lake who overwhelmingly sup-
port this ordinance. We have to
elect people who will honor the
will of the people.”

“I mean, do you really trust
that an ordinance or the guts of
an ordinance coming from
PSATS is going to not have a con-
flict of interests?” she asked.
Brennan said the PSATS orga-
nization is a “good, strong source
of information,” and he doesn’t
believe the conference sponsors
will interfere with the ordinance
research. He added the township
has been trying to deal with a
(@oving target,” and he is anx-
ously waiting to view the pro-
posed ordinance.
“We're grateful for the letter,
but you should know it’s under-
way,” said Brennan.
Brennan said the ordinance
will be presented and then adver-
tised, for public view before it is
