<br />1179.01 INTENT. <br />It is the intent of Village Council to ensure the safe operation of oil and gas wells and <br />preserve the aesthetics and character of and within the Village. Toward that end, this <br />chapter has been adopted to supplement any State issued permits which authorize the <br />drilling of any oil and gas well within the Village. The provisions of this chapter are <br />based upon local conditions which may not be known to the State at the time such drilling <br />was authorized. It is further the intent of the Village to exercise its local police authority, <br />authorized under Article XVIII, Section 3 of the Ohio Constitution, to the fullest extent <br />permitted by law, for the protection of the Village residents and all emergency personnel <br />who may be called upon to respond to an incident at any oil and gas well. <br />(Ord. 2007-28. Passed 12-17-07.)
