Drilling fees could go up from $5K to $12.5K in Pennsylvania

A previously announced increase in the drilling of natural gas wells in Pennsylvania was approved Tuesday.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that the Environmental Quality Board approved the proposal by the Department of Environmental Protection that would increase the fees from $5,000 per well to $12,500 per well.

The permit still needs approval from General Assembly committees and the Independent Regulatory Review Commission, the Post-Gazette said.
