IMPERIAL — Supervisors in a Western Pennsylvania township have approved permits for a company to drill for natural gas at Pittsburgh International Airport with almost two dozen conditions.

Findley Township supervisors voted 2-1 to approve the conditional use permits but included noise and light disturbance limits, requirements for flaggers and safety vehicles at entrances to the site, a ban on injection wells and other caveats.

A proposal to require one well pad moved further away from a residential development was rejected.

Consol Energy Inc. hopes to start drilling this year. Allegheny county officials say the deal could generate more than $500 million in royalties over the next few decades.

After the vote, company president Nick DeIuliis vowed that the project would be a model of safe and responsible natural gas development.

STATE COLLEGE — Fans of the late Penn State University football coach Joe Paterno are planning to commission a new bronze statue of him, and place it across from the school.Organizers say the statue will feature Paterno sitting on a bench reading. It’s expected to cost about $300,000 and would hopefully be done in 2015 by Philadelphia sculptor Zenos Frudakis.Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers says the school isn’t involved in the plan. But a restaurant owner in downtown State College says he’s interested in having the statue in front of his establishment.In 2012 the school removed a Paterno statue from the campus after an investigative report alleged the late coach and three other top Penn State administrators concealed sex abuse claims against retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
