No vote yet on well pad in Cecil Township
Cecil Township supervisors’ decision on a natural gas producer’s well pad application is still pending following a hearing Monday where the plans drew both support and critics.
Supervisors didn’t take a vote following the roughly four-hour meeting. Instead, they continued the conditional-use hearing so attorneys representing the opposing sides – driller Range Resources, and a group of people who live nearby who want the township to reject the plans – to review transcripts of the hearing and submit legal briefs in support of their positions.
“What happened was, both parties agreed to waive the 45-day limit for when supervisors have to make a decision,” said Bruce Bosle, director of township planning and zoning.
It is unclear when the supervisors would make a decision on the plans, which call for a well pad with eight initial wells and an access road on property along North DePaoli Road known as the Augustine site.
Range was represented at the hearing by attorney Blaine Lucas and the group of residents by Michael Angelo Maccagnan.
