Money is usually set to be split up based on a formula that uses the number of wells in each community or how close the community is to an active Marcellus well.

Act 13Signed into law by governor Tom Corbett. This law will further protect the environment as well as tighten the regulations on the natural gas industry. creates a drilling impact feeImposed by commissioners. A fee charged to the drillers for wells placed on county land. Money is usually set to be based on a formula that uses the number of wells in each community or based on how close the community is to an active Marcellus well. and specifies how those fees are distributed. The fees generated can be used to cover the local impacts of drilling. A majority of the boards of the county’s 24 townships support Act 13Signed into law by governor Tom Corbett. This law will further protect the environment as well as tighten the regulations on the natural gas industry..
While commissioners have not estimated how much revenue the fees will generate, the Tribune Review noted $6.9 million was generated in 2011. Of the $6.9, the county would receive $1.5 million. The amount going to each municipality will be based on the formula that calculates the number of wells in each area.
