Hamm Reports More Than $11.7 Million in Natural Gas Impact Fees to Benefit 84th District Residents

June 16, 2026

HARRISBURG – More than $11.7 million in impact fee revenue derived from natural gas producers in Pennsylvania during 2025 is on its way to portions of Lycoming County and Sullivan County, according to Rep. Joe Hamm (R-Lycoming/Sullivan).

Lycoming County received $4.1 million while its municipalities Hamm represents collectively received more than $5.6 million. Sullivan County received $710,909 and its municipalities collectively received more than $1.2 million.

“Our communities in the 84th District have received over $152 million since the inception of the impact fee in 2012,” said Hamm. “The law creating it is designed to ensure municipalities impacted by drilling have the flexibility to spend the funding on their most vital needs, returning significant benefits for their residents.”

More than $243 million was generated statewide for the 2025 production year. Since impact fees went into effect in 2012 following the enactment of Act 13, more than $3.1 billion has been returned to communities across Pennsylvania, according to the Public Utility Commission, the agency charged with collection.

Sixty percent of the total impact fee revenue is divided among municipalities with drilling activity, while the remaining 40% is collected for statewide uses through the Marcellus Legacy Fund. Local counties also see a share of that revenue.
