(A) No oil or gas well site, compressor station, or natural gas processing facility or any addition thereto shall be constructed or located within the township unless a conditional use approval has been issued by the township to the owner or operator approving the construction or preparation of the site for oil or gas development or construction of natural gas compressor stations or natural gas processing facilities.
(B) The permit application, or amended permit application, shall be accompanied by a fee in the amount of $1,000 which may, from time to time, be amended by resolution. The applicant shall promptly pay any additional fees or costs incurred by the township that exceed this fee as allowable under the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code.
(C) Any modification to an existing and permitted oil or gas well site that materially alters the size, location, number of wells or accessory equipment or structures, or any modification to an existing compressor station or natural gas processing facility shall require a modification of the permit under this subchapter. Like-kind replacements shall not require a permit modification.
