Act 13 • Impact Fees • “Stripper Well” • Tax

Snyder Bros., Inc. v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Comm’n, PICS Case No. 17-0511 (Pa. Commw. March 29, 2017) McCullough J. (31 pages).

Commission erred in holding that petitioner’s wells were not “stripper wells” because the term “any” in the definition of “stripper well” unambiguously meant “one” and not “all or every” and the uncontroverted evidence showed that the wells at issue produced less than 90,000 cf of gas in at a least one month and were stripper wells and not subject to impact fees. Reversed.
