PA Environmentalist Suit Settled

Posted on April 14, 2009 by Vorys

We reported earlier on litigation brought by energy producers in PA against the U.S. Forest Service for preventing development in the Allegheny National Forest.  A separate lawsuit brought by environmental groups regarding that development was recently settled, according to this article in the Philadelphia Inquirer.  According to the Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Association (POGAM), this settlement would require future drilling projects in the Forest to undergo site-specific environmental assessments under NEPA.

POGAM has asked the court for a stay of the settlement.  More on this issue can be found here.
