RULES AND REGULATIONS
Title 25—ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY BOARD
[ 25 PA. CODE CHS. 121 AND 129 ]
Additional RACT Requirements for Major Sources of NOx and VOCs
[46 Pa.B. 2036]
[Saturday, April 23, 2016]

 The Environmental Quality Board (Board) amends Chapters 121 and 129 (relating to general provisions; and standards for sources) to read as set forth in Annex A. The final-form rulemaking amends Chapter 129 to adopt presumptive reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements and RACT emission limitations for certain major stationary sources of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. The final-form rulemaking also provides for a petition process for an alternative compliance schedule, a facility-wide or system-wide NOx emissions averaging plan provision, an alternative RACT proposal petition process, and compliance demonstration and recordkeeping requirements.

 The final-form rulemaking also amends § 121.1 (relating to definitions) to revise or add terms to support the final-form amendments to Chapter 129.

 This order was adopted by the Board at its meeting of November 17, 2015.

Notes:

We have no fewer than four wells in this issue with applications for "Well Plugging Notice Intent to Plug Single Well" where the operator earlier apparently tried to avoid plugging by filing for inactive status, but those permits were denied. DEP appears to be cracking down on this, if nothing else. The wells are: USX - J D BRADISH 1, JAY E LEONARD UNIT 628 1, LUZ-HOGSETT 1, and GARAFOLA 1.

For a pipeline permit, the list labeled "Presumed Parcel IDs Include" is derived from those locations where DEP has listed a latitude and longitude (e.g. stream crossings) together with some parcels whose ID may be able to be inferred by interpolation. Such a list may be incomplete.

---
The Facility Record for STEVENS UNIT 1H,
<http://www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eFACTSWeb/searchResults_singleFacility.aspx?FacilityID=735807>, shows:
Corrective Action/Tank Closure requirements remain outstanding for incidents in Inactive status.
(It actually shows in red on the eFACTS web page.) It's possible this "corrective action" is what the permit above is for, rather than new wells at this site.

---
It's not clear from the eFACTS record for the Texas Eastern authorization 1134139 above, but an educated guess is that this is for remediation of the Shamrock Vicinity Sinkhole Problem. See:
<http://faymarwatch.org/news/articles/Sinkholes_near_Shamrock.shtml>

The March 10, 2016 meeting of the Fayette County Planning Commission listed the following "Project Review" item: "Texas Eastern Transmission, L.P. applying to DEP for the New Salem Utility Line Maintenance Project located in Menallen Township." For the notification provided to Fayette County by Texas Eastern for this project, see:
<http://faymarwatch.org/documents/TE_New_Salem_Sinkhole_NOI.pdf>

This is presumably the same project as the eFACTS listing. (Note: OpenStreetMap is in error in showing Shamrock Compressor Station as a Texas Eastern facility.)

---
The neighboring parcel owner to the one shown for the SPRINGHILL CS TO BEZJAK PIPELINE GP05260716001 project (whose property this project crosses) reports that this pipeline is already long since in the ground, and the permit being applied for is seriously retroactive. (Note: The correct name of the road shown on OpenStreetMap as "Cagy Road" is actually Volek Road.)

------------------------

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:
<http://www.elibrary.dep.state.pa.us/dsweb/Get/Version-48671/012-0501-002.pdf>

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.

Parcel data is provided via the tax records search web page offered by the Fayette County Assessment Office (http://property.co.fayette.pa.us/). Presumed Parcel Id links are subject to availability provided by that agency and associated web sites. Presumed Parcel Ids are determined as the mapped parcel containing a given latitude and longitude, are a best effort determination which is subject to error, and are not official. In cases where a facility is leased and there is a separate parcel id for the lease, if this parcel id is not separately mapped, the parcel id shown will be the id for the enclosing parcel. Parcel owners may be surface owners only and may or may not have any relationship to oil & gas facilities.

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.
