The Environmental Integrity Project surveys zoning ordinances in 31 Pennsylvania municipalities across five counties, tracking how each regulates oil and gas wells, compressor stations and pipelines like Shell's Falcon and Sunoco's Mariner East II. The report traces Act 13, the 2012 law that stripped local zoning power, to the state Supreme Court ruling that restored it under Pennsylvania's Environmental Rights Amendment, and singles out Indiana Township and Oakmont Borough as model ordinances.
