Regulatory Trend: Noise Regulations & Drilling

Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection proposed new rules that backed off proposed noise regulations and location regulations for wastewater storage. 

Why did the agency back off noise regulations on a statewide basis?

• Industry & environmental advocates said that noise limits  were too vague
• The Agency will issue seprate guidance on noise

  The rules writing process has taken 4 years.
