Type of Protective Zoning: Full Capacity Build-Outs & DEP Permits
A gas company might not fully disclose the entirety of a project in their applications for land use permits that they submit to your local government. If your local government requires that applications for certain kinds of gas activity include information about the future of the project and the predicted related infrastructure, it is one way to avoid unwelcome surprises down the road. In addition, if your local government requires that an applicant submit to the township all of the information that the applicant has already submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, it can be a huge help towards getting a better sense of what the entire project will look like in the end.
