THE GOVERNOR
Title 4—ADMINISTRATION
[45 Pa.B. 766]
[Saturday, February 14, 2015]
PART I. GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
[ 4 PA. CODE CH. 1 ]
[ EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 2015-03 ]
Leasing of State Forest and State Park Land for Oil and Gas Development

 January 29, 2015

 Whereas, Section 27 of Article I of the Constitution of Pennsylvania guarantees the Commonwealth's citizens the right to clean air, pure water and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and aesthetic values of the environment; and

 Whereas, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) has a duty pursuant to the Conservation and Natural Resources Act (Act of June 28, 1995, P. L. 89, No. 18) (CNRA) to conserve and maintain State Forests and State Parks in the public trust for the use and benefit of all its citizens, and generations yet to come, as guaranteed by Section 27 of Article I of the Constitution of Pennsylvania; and

 Whereas, Pennsylvania's award-winning State Parks provide opportunities for enjoying healthful outdoor recreation and serve as outdoor classrooms for environmental education, and in meeting these purposes host 38 million visitors annually, support over 13,000 jobs, and provide $1.2 billion to the state's economy; and

 Whereas, leasing State Park land for oil and gas development is contrary to DCNR's longstanding policy; and

 Whereas, Pennsylvania's 2.2 million-acre State Forest system has been certified longer than any other State Forest system in the United States through an independent scientific review to be compliant with the gold standard for environmentally and socially responsible forestry established by the international Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and this certification is vital to the economic viability of the forest products industry in Pennsylvania; and

 Whereas, more than 673,000 acres of the State Forest land are currently open to oil and gas development through DCNR-issued leases (386,000 acres) or because of privately-owned mineral rights where the Commonwealth does not own the subsurface oil and gas (287,000 acres); and

 Whereas, according to an analysis completed in 2010 by DCNR, the portion of State Forest land that is currently not available for oil and gas development is vital for maintaining pure water, wild and natural ecosystems and valuable recreational opportunities that support Pennsylvania's eco-tourism industry; and

 Whereas, based on data gathered through 2012, while still piloting and developing monitoring and management tools and protocols, DCNR has found that that ''there are clearly impacts and tradeoffs that are associated with'' oil and gas development on State Forest land, as well as risks to the resources, the uses of the forest, and the balance among them; and

 Whereas, the complex, interrelated, and significant impacts already identified by DCNR and others include clearing of almost 1,500 acres, degraded wild character and recreational experiences on over 9,300 acres, heavy truck traffic, forest conversion and fragmentation and soil disturbance, invasive species, hiking and snowmobile trail conflicts, loss of scenic vistas, noise pollution affecting recreational experiences and wildlife, and reduction in timber harvest revenues due to road bonding costs; and

 Whereas, DCNR has concluded that in order to develop a full understanding of the cumulative impacts of oil and gas development on State Forest and State Park land, additional longitudinal research and monitoring on a wide variety of impacts and risks are needed, including air quality, water quality, groundwater, soil, the effects of evolving DCNR-prescribed best management practices, the effects of pipeline stream crossings, wildlife, noise pollution, and timber harvesting; and

 Whereas, DCNR has concluded that additional leasing of State Forest land or State Park land for oil and gas development would jeopardize DCNR's ability to fulfill its legislative duty to conserve and maintain these public natural resources, and to sustain its FSC forest certification;

 Now, Therefore, I, Tom Wolf, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and other laws (including the CNRA), and consistent with recommendations made by the Acting Secretary of Conservation and Natural Resources, do hereby direct the following.

  

 Governor

 Fiscal Note: GOV-15-03. No fiscal impact; (8) recommends adoption.

Today I contacted Mr. Mike BUCHEIT of Keyrock Energy LLC at 724-771-4275. BUCHEIT indicated that Keyrock does still own the G. Harvey USX#4 site and that a lawsuit is active between Keyrock and HARVEY regarding the spill from 2012. BUCHEIT indicated that Keyrock has not remediated the site due to the land owner not permitting them access. The investigation is ongoing pending contact with the property owner Mr. George HARVEY.

02/10/15

Today at approximately 1320 hours I contacted Mr. George HARVEY regarding the spill on his property. HARVEY informed me that he is still in litigation regarding the spill and has not allowed anyone access to the site. HARVEY also claims that a brown water line had burst near the well site and leaked for approximately 10 months. HARVEY also claimed that he had called in a water supply complaint regarding this issue, but he was not sure if any water testing was completed. The investigation is ongoing looking into the possibility of additional pollution to the site and for the original spill.

Notes:

There are two well pads at Sanfilippo and 8 wells; 1H, 2H, and 8H are on the southwest pad and 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, and 7H are on the northeast pad. Of these 8 wells, only 5H shows in the "data view" on DEP PA Oil & Gas Mapping as a Conservation Well. However, the designation "Conservation Well: Y" for 5H appears to be a data entry error at DEP. Examining the permit, the No box is checked for applicability of the Oil & Gas Conservation Law, and the Well Location Plat shows "No Onondaga Tag" (and the so-called "Onondaga Rat Tail" -- where they drill the vertical part of the well down through the Onondaga and then cement back up to the kickoff point -- does not show either).

Although the new permit is for a Minor Source, it does not appear to be a General Permit, which means there should be public comment. When this occurs, it will be important to get as many people to respond as possible to request a hearing. There is an obvious concern about what would happen at this facility in the case of an accident. The plant is currently owned by Univar, which acquired Magnablend. According to the Tribune Review:

"The plan calls for expansion of the rail and trucking facilities to handle railroad tank cars of hydrochloric acid that will be shipped in from West Virginia. The acid, used in the fracking drilling process, will then be transferred to trucks for shipment to drilling sites in the area.

Hydrochloric acid, while corrosive, is not flammable or explosive. The acid is regulated by the federal Environmental Protection Agency."

DEP defines an environmental justice area as "any census tract where 20 percent or more individuals live in poverty, and/or 30 percent or more of the population is minority". (See:
<http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/pa_environmental_justice_areas/20991>
<http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/dep_enhanced_public_participation_policy/20988>
). There are supposed to be enhanced public participation requirements for permits in environmental justice areas, but news of this actually ever happening is scarce. In Fayette County, the entirety of Springhill, Nicholson, German, and Georges Townships are environmental justice areas, as well as a large part of Dunbar Township. DEP's policy document on public participation guidelines for environmental justice areas is located here:

eNOTICE records are likely to list the same permit multiple times, as that permit moves through the DEP process.

Oil & Gas Wells designated with a site a number and the letter H typically designate horizontal wells.

Disclaimers:

This compilation from the above sources was done by hand using copy and paste and may omit relevant permits.

Does not currently include water supply permits. Does not include landfill permits even though many such are for Marcellus Shale waste. (It is not possible at this time to distinguish which landfill permits are for Marcellus Shale waste and which are not without doing File Review for each permit.)

Erosion & Sedimentation permit records do not currently include latitude and longitude. Where I am publishing latitude and longitude with E&S permits it is by inferring an associated well permit and using published latitude and longitude for the well. It is possible I may be inferring the wrong well site.

Municipalities are shown from eFACTS records on the DEP web site. The DEP has been known to list a municipality incorrectly.
