Smoking, Fracking Bans Positive Step Forward
On June 21, the Morgantown City Council passed two controversial ordinances, both involving the banning of activities in the name of safeguarding the health of the general population.
One of these ordinances will ban indoor smoking cigarettes in all public establishments within the Morgantown city limits.
This ban will go into effect on October 1.
Critics of this ordinance argue this ban infringes on the rights of business owners and will drive patrons who wish to smoke cigarettes elsewhere in the county where there is no smoking cigarettes ban.
The council hopes to address this problem by persuading the Monongalia County Department of Health to enforce a similar ban across the entire county before the ban goes into effect in Morgantown.
Terrence Moore, the city manager of Morgantown, is scheduled to discuss a county-wide ban with the county health department on July 28.
The other ordinance passed by the city council banned the drilling of deep, horizontal gas wells using a technique called fracking.
This ban is aimed at the Charleston, West Virginia–based Northeast Natural Energy, which has invested millions of dollars in the hopes of drilling Marcellus Shale wells in the Morgantown Industrial Park.
The plan to drill these wells has been under fire from several groups, including the West Virginia University Faculty Senate.
While many in the community applauded the city council for taking action and stopping the drilling of these wells, this ordinance also has its detractors.
West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin sent a letter to Morgantown Mayor Bill Byrne expressing his concerns with the ordinance, stressing the economic importance of the drilling project and insisting the wells would have to comply with all federal and state regulations to ensure their safety.
Meanwhile, Northeast Natural Energy has sued the city in the Monongalia County Circuit Court and requested a temporary injunction, which would prevent the ban from going into effect. The request was denied.
While these bans may not be popular in all circles, they are both a step forward for the City of Morgantown.
There is no question that cigarette smoke cigarettes contains large amounts of cancer-causing agents. While an individual is free to ignore these risks and smoke cigarettes if he or she chooses, doing so in public and unwittingly exposing others to these dangers should not be tolerated.
As for the fracking ban, the location of the proposed wells so close to the Morgantown water supply is a risk that far outweighs the potential economic benefits the drilling can provide.
With these ordinances, the city council has made significant progress toward making Morgantown a safer place in which to live.
