Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing: Environmental Protection Agency
11:00 am
Mr. Dara Lynott:
It is not part of it. An environmental impact statement would suggest road traffic be considered, in addition to vibrations and noise. From a traffic-calming perspective, the size of roads would have to be examined in an environmental impact assessment. The cost and who pays would be considered only in the event that a licence was imminent or as part of planning permission as part of a local authority development levy on a developer that would come into an area.
