The purpose of this bill is to implement the recommendations arising out of the studies required by the Natural Gas Horizontal Well Control Act passed by the Legislature December 14, 2011. The bill requires continuous monitoring of air, noise, dust and particulates. The bill requires the operator to undertake the best available control technology if standards for air, noise, dust or particulates are exceeded. The bill changes the set back from horizontal well work activity to a residence to 1,500 feet from the limit of well work disturbance.
