When a company wants to tap into natural resources in the state of Pennsylvania, the company often finds itself dealing with a host of complex laws and regulations that they must comply with. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has a lot of input when it comes to developing natural resources, and businesses that want to build facilities such as oil wells, gas wells, pipelines and power plants will need to comply with the DEP’s rules. Failure to comply with these rules can result in severe penalties for businesses and business owners alike.
