Olean Will Not be Frack Friendly
Olean Common Council has decided it’s not going to be frack friendly.
According to the agenda for tonight’s meeting, Mayor Linda Witte plans to introduce a resolution asking the county Legislature to ban horizontal drilling within two miles of the city’s well water aquifer.
Council will also consider an amendment that would prohibit any wastewater or similar byproduct from high-volume fracking, oil drilling or natural gas drilling operations.
Another amendment would require any vehicle that exceeds the allowable state size and/or weight to obtain and possess a permit from the city’s public works department prior to operating the vehicle on any roadway maintained by the city.
