Townhall settings have become ground zero for efforts to restrict unconventional shale development. NGOs have used Pennsylvania’s Environmental Rights Amendment to not only oppose operator zoning applications, but also to seek the invalidation of ordinances permitting industry activity. Many of these proceedings have evolved into battles of the experts, without the procedural safeguards existing in civil litigation. In West Virginia, local governments have attempted to restrict or ban extractive industries by adopting nuisance ordinances. Ohio activists continue to use referenda to implement restrictive ordinances. Federal and state preemption of local regulation has been the subject of litigation in many jurisdictions. This program will provide an overview of the case law addressing these issues.

A state must issue a water quality certification under Clean Water Act Section 401 in order to make effective any federal permit issued under other Clean Water Act provisions that authorize discharges into waters of the United States. Energy projects often require permits under Clean Water Act Section 404 to allow the lawful placement of fill material into jurisdictional waters. Pursuant to Clean Water Act Section 505, citizen suits may be commenced against entities that are in violation of an “effluent standard or limitation,” including “certification under [Clean Water Act Section 401].” This presentation will explore the extent to which conditions that are attached to Section 401 Certifications may serve as a basis for Clean Water Act citizen suits, and the ramifications of this potential exposure for those seeking to construct energy projects.
