The Pennsylvania Land Trust Association urged members of the state senate to oppose HB 1565 stating that “enactment of this legislation would cause irreversible harm to Pennsylvania’s water quality and increase the destruction wrought by flooding.”: The bill cannot be fixed because its central feature—the neutering of buffer requirements—is fundamentally wrong.
