A New And Improved Energy Reality—It's No Pipedream: Streamlining Permitting Procedures For Certain Classes Of Natural Resource Projects: The Canada-United States Keystone Xl Pipeline, Daniel Hare
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
In this paper I propose an original policy solution to the complicated issue of permitting and regulatory review for cross-border natural resource projects to allow for a smoother quicker approval process for certain types of projects. I have specifically designed this new procedure so as to focus on political compromise and minimize political partisanship, while instead concentrating on achieving results. By modi ing the current regulatory standard to a more streamlined model, deserving cross-border natural resource projects can swiftly gain approval, yet environmental, economic, foreign policy, national securit), and other significant concerns will still receive the attention and thorough evaluation …

The Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program: A Panacea For Forest Service Gridlock Or A New Name For Old Saws?, Brett M. Paben
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
Over the past several decades, the element of management most common to the 155 national forests across the country has been gridlock. Efforts of the US. Forest Service to appease the various interests of environmentalists, recreationists, timber companies, mill operators, and local politicians in management decisions have often led to a stalemate wh1e re the only answer has been to do nothing or very little or face administrative appeals and subsequent litigation from one of the affected interests. In the meantime, our national forests are facing unprecedented environmental threats, including uncharacteristic wildfire, possibly the largest insect infestation in North American …

Developing The Marcellus Shale: Legal, Regulatory, And Infrastructure Challenges And Their Effect On Downstream Energy Markets, Aaron Stemplewicz
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
The Marcellus Shale natural gas play is largely considered a "game changer" for the US. energy sector as recent technological breakthroughs in drilling techniques and technologies have made natural gas extraction from this massive play commercially viable. This note not only examines the primary driving forces behind the development of this pla, but also how the extent and pace iwith ihich it is developed will affect doinstream energy markets. In particular three categories of factors are evaluated: legal challenges, regulatory controls, and infrastructure development. Tiwo models of growth and their effect on downstream markets are then proposed and analyzed.

Between Huntley And Salem: The Current State Of Municipal Authority In Pennsylvania To Affect Gas Drilling Through Zoning, Dan Raichel
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
This article examines the scope of Pennsylvania is preemption of municipal authority to zone natural gas drilling activities in light of two relatively recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court decisions interpreting the Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Act and its local ordinance preemption provision. Although these cases define outer boundaries of permissible municipal regulation along the spectrum uf/possible zoning controls - i.e. what types ofordinance provisions would be either definitively permitted or preempted - substantial questions remain as to what extent a municipality may use traditional zoning power to zone gas drilling activities. This paper explores those grey areas, and attempts to assess …
The Interpretation Of Surface Easements In Severance Deeds As A Limit On Hydraulic Fracturing Practices, Rachel Heron, Justin S. Duclos, Shaun A. Goho
The Interpretation Of Surface Easements In Severance Deeds As A Limit On Hydraulic Fracturing Practices, Rachel Heron, Justin S. Duclos, Shaun A. Goho
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
Hydraulic fracturing has driven a boom in natural gas production in the Marcellus Shale. While providing a growing source of domestic energy, this boom also raises signicant environmental concerns. Many of the impacts of hy draulic fracturing predominantly affect the inhabitants of the property where the drilling occurs. Yet when those inhabitants own only the surface estate, they have relatively little influence over whether and how the drilling occurs and will not profit from the gas extraction. This article provides a jurisdictional case stud4 set in West Virginia to assist in understanding the nuances relevant to an interpretation of the …

Creating A Public Plan For New York’S Great Lakes Offshore Wind Power: A Strategy For Energy And Economic Development, Dwight E. Kanyuck, Robert S. Berger
Other Scholarship
This report evaluates the legal and policy considerations required for developing the energy resource of New York's Great Lakes Offshore Wind (NYGLOW). The potential economic development, environmental and energy benefits of NYGLOW are discussed and a strategy for siting, environmental review, and incentives to gain public acceptance and attract significant investment in NYGLOW is recommended, drawing on approaches used for developing Offshore Wind elsewhere in North America. The approaches of New Jersey, Texas, and Ontario are examined in some detail.

Advocacy And Diplomacy In The Great Lakes: A Case History Of Non-Governmental-Organization Participation In Negotiating The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, Jack Manno
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
This article describes and analyzes the role of non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, in the system of governance that has developed to manage the use of natural resources, and that management's impact on the Great Lakes ecosystem. Particular emphasis is given to the organizational history of one such NGO, Great Lakes United, and its actions and strategies in relation to the Canada-U.S. Great Lakes Water Quality Agreements, and to the negotiations leading to the 1987 Protocol to the Agreements. My more general purpose is to contribute to the development of a literature of NGO case histories in order to provide an …
