ADAMS TWP — An oil and gas compression station draft ordinance, which seeks to regulate the use and positioning of oil and gas compression stations, was presented at Wednesday’s supervisor meeting.

Station sites would have to be a minimum of 10 acres and could not be closer than 1,320 feet from a school or dwelling unless they get a waiver signed by the property owner.

Compressor stations would be fully enclosed in buildings and noise must be kept below 61 decibels,

The ordinance also amends natural rules regulating natural gas processing plants including similar regulations on sound and safety.

Minimum site size for these plants will be 15 acres, and all principal buildings and accessory structures will have to be set back at least 100 feet from any property line that abuts a property in the industrial district.

Principal buildings and accessory structures will have to be set back at least 500 feet from any property line that adjoins any other zoning district.

A vote on the ordinance is scheduled Dec. 11.
