Payette County Stays Up Late

Ellen,

No rulemaking meeting was held this week. But fracking was still the focus of Payette County discussions and an interim legislative committe dealing with energy in Idaho. Read both stories below. 


Payette County Residents Speak Out!It was standing room only last night at the Payette County Courthouse. For 6 hours, the Payette Planning and Zoning Commission heard testimony about a proposed gas compression plant from concerned residents, industry representatives and ICL. (Our program director, Justin Hayes, didn't get home until after 2 am!)

Residents want to know how the industrial facility could affect the rural character of the community, air quality and traffic. They're also concerned about noise 24/7 resulting from the plant.

Commissioners did not decide whether to permit the facility. Instead, they directed engineering staff to come up with a list of conditions that Bridge Resources must meet. The next meeting is scheduled for August.

Not Part of the Plan?

The Energy, Environment, and Technology Interim Committee met this week to update Idaho's energy plan. Since Idaho has not been a traditional producer of fossil fuels, natural gas and oil are not part of our current state plan.

The committee heard general presentations from the Department of Lands, Bridge Resources, Snake River Oil and Gas, other industry representatives and a newly formed industry group—the Idaho Petroleum Council. The IPC represents industry interests in Idaho.

We represent a unified voice for conservation in Idaho, speaking up for clean drinking water, clean air and vibrant communities.

More next week!
