Constitutional Challenge to Home Rule Charter In what may be the final chapter in the Seneca Resources Corp. v. Highland Township litigation involving a municipality's efforts to halt the development and operation of an underground injection control (UIC) well, Seneca Resources Corporation (Seneca) challenged the constitutionality of Highland Township's home rule charter, which prohibited Seneca from sioring waste produced by hydraulic fracturing and contained provisions of the "Community Bill of Rights" ordinance that was previously invalidated. See Seneca Res. Corp. v. Twp. ofHighland,No. 1:16-cv-00289, 2017 WL 4354710 (W.D. Pa. Sept. 29, 2017).
