Under Act 13, the 2012 Oil and Gas Title 58 policy, Perry County commissioners have adopted an ordinance that will impose an unconventional gas well fee so one will be in place should any wells be established in the country. Currently, there are no such wells in the county but that does not mean that there will not be in the near future as several nearby and bordering counties currently have some. This ordinance amends the Oil and Gas Title 58 and reenacts relevant parts of the Oil and Gas Act relating to municipal zoning and land uses. According to a County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania document, “a county with unconventional gas wells that fails to adopt the fee is prohibited from receiving fee revenues and from receiving revenues from statewide initiatives until the year following its levy of the fee.” The aforementioned fee is based on a sliding scale, based on 15 years for each well, and is based on the current average price for natural gas. Fees are collected and deposited in an Unconventional Gas Well Fund minus some distributions to county conservation districts and state agencies. Haggerty & Silverman, P.C.
