MEMORANDUM

Posted: April 30, 2013 05:11 PM
From: Senator John T. Yudichak
To: All Senate members
Subject: Legislation to Require A Public Hearing Before Leasing State Land
 

I am introducing legislation requiring the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to hold at least one public hearing before entering into any agreement, contract or lease to recover natural gas from unconventional formations with unconventional wells on lands underlying State forests or parks.

In addition, the legislation requires the department to consider acquiring the ownership of any rights necessary to permanently preserve the land if it is determined that the lands possess unique environmental, natural, historical or cultural features that make it especially worthy of permanent preservation.

Introduced as SB941
