PA: Impact Fees

By Greg Russell

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette is reporting on anticipated impact fees in 2014:  "Pennsylvania expects to collect impact fees totaling $224.5 million this year from companies that have drilled unconventional horizontal shale gas wells, according to an announcement Friday by Gov. Tom Corbett’s office. *** The revenue total is primarily from fees assessed on 47 drilling companies for Marcellus and Utica Shale gas wells drilled in 2013, plus much smaller fees on previously drilled unconventional gas wells assessed under provisions of the state’s oil and natural gas law, Act 13. It also includes $645,000 collected on 'discrepancies' from past impact fees."
