County Council can't determine if a nighttime drilling ban they passed actually applies
Act 97 effectively removes County from the geothermal permitting process. Unless/until this Act is repealed or modified, County has zero authority; even then, County's oversight is limited to "regulations that apply in Ag zoning". Did PGV have to get an SUP?
Ironically: Ag zoning is inappropriate for Leilani's de-facto "residential use", and it's also inappropriate for PGV's "industrial use".
