Pennsylvania's 2014-2015 Annual Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan; Available for Public Comment
[44 Pa.B. 2808]
[Saturday, May 10, 2014]

 On October 17, 2006, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated final amendments to the National ambient air monitoring requirements for criteria pollutants at 40 CFR Parts 53 and 58 (relating to ambient air monitoring reference and equivalent methods; and ambient air quality surveillance). See 71 FR 61236 (October 17, 2006). The EPA's final rule requires state and local agencies to enhance air monitoring to ''improve public health protection and better inform the public about air quality in their communities.'' Under 40 CFR 58.10 (relating to annual monitoring network plan and periodic network assessment), air quality state and local monitoring agencies must adopt an annual air-monitoring network plan and make the plan available for public inspection for at least 30 days prior to final submission to the EPA Regional Administrator. The plan, which is due July 1, 2014, must include a statement of purpose for each monitor and evidence that siting and operation of each monitor meets Federal requirements. The EPA may also provide an opportunity for review and comment prior to approving or disapproving a state's Monitoring Network Plan.

 On May 10, 2014, the 2014-2015 Annual Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan (Plan) will be made available for public comment on the Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) web site at www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/airwaste/aq/default.htm. The Plan has been updated to address changes that have been made in the Commonwealth's ambient air monitoring network and to identify changes that are anticipated to occur in the remainder of 2014 and in 2015.

 The public is invited to submit comments on this network plan. Comments must be received by the Department on or before June 9, 2014. Written comments should be sent to the attention of Nicholas Lazor, Chief, Division of Air Quality Monitoring, Bureau of Air Quality, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, RA-epair@pa.gov. Use ''Annual Monitoring Network Plan'' as the subject line.

INDEPENDENT REGULATORY REVIEW COMMISSION
Action Taken by the Commission
[44 Pa.B. 2965]
[Saturday, May 17, 2014]

Approval Order

Public Meeting Held
May 1, 2014

Commissioners Voting: John F. Mizner, Esq., Chairperson; George D. Bedwick, Vice Chairperson; W. Russell Faber; Lawrence J. Tabas, Esq.; Dennis A. Watson, Esq.
Environmental Quality Board—
Oil and Gas Well Fee Amendments;
Regulation No. 7-483 (#3022)

 On September 4, 2013, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the Environmental Quality Board (EQB). This rulemaking amends 25 Pa. Code §§ 78.1 and 78.19. The proposed regulation was published in the September 14, 2013 Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on March 21, 2014.

 This regulation changes the current fee schedule for oil and gas well permits to a fixed fee of $5,000 for nonvertical unconventional wells and $4,200 for vertical unconventional wells. The current sliding scale fee for vertical wells will continue to apply, but under a different category defined as ''conventional.''

 We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of EQB (58 Pa.C.S. § 3211(d)) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.

By Order of the Commission:

 This regulation is approved.

28664 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 96 / Monday, May 19, 2014 / Proposed Rules

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Chapter I
[EPA–HQ–OPPT–2011–1019; FRL–9909–13]
RIN 2070–AJ93
Hydraulic Fracturing Chemicals and Mixtures
AGENCY:  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking.

Summary

In its response to a citizen petition submitted under section 21 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA indicated that as a first step, it would convene a stakeholder process to develop an approach to obtain information on chemical substances and mixtures used in hydraulic fracturing. To gather information to inform EPA's proposal, the Agency is issuing this advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) and initiating a public participation process to seek comment on the information that should be reported or disclosed for hydraulic fracturing chemical substances and mixtures and the mechanism for obtaining this information. This mechanism could be regulatory (under TSCA section 8(a) and/or section 8(d)), voluntary, or a combination of both and could include best management practices, third-party certification and collection, and incentives for disclosure of this information. In addition, the Agency is seeking comment on ways of minimizing reporting burdens and costs and of avoiding the duplication of state and other federal agency information collections, while at the same time maximizing data available for EPA risk characterization, external transparency, and public understanding. Also, EPA is soliciting comments on incentives and recognition programs that could be used to support the development and use of safer chemicals in hydraulic fracturing.
Dates

Comments must be received on or before August 18, 2014.

Notes:

DEP does not have any air monitoring stations in Fayette County. The Draft Air Monitoring Plan does not change this. This issue has come up in numerous Fayette Marcellus Watch meetings. It is extremely important that we get a strong public comment effort on behalf of air monitoring in Fayette County. Note that the Public Comment deadline is soon: June 9, 2014.

---

Something "serious" seems to have happened at Shepard 6H. There are anecdotal reports of an underground explosion at this site. Shepard 6H has a violation for "Failure to report defective, insufficient, or improperly cemented casing w/in 24 hrs or submit plan to correct w/in 30 days" (Inspection ID 2206094, <http://www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eFACTSWeb/searchResults_singleViol.aspx?InspectionID=2206094>). In the wake of the Bobtown explosion, one would sure like to know what happened at the Sheperd well site. Authorization record 1022281 (<http://www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eFACTSWeb/searchResults_singleAuth.aspx?AuthID=1022281>) is clear evidence that at least one well at this site has FAILED PERMANENTLY AND COMPLETELY.

What is extremely significant about Inspection Report 2266784 above is that this is the first actual documentation we have that an underground explosion occurred at this well. The inspection report does not actually use the word "explosion". But those who would deny that an underground explosion took place at this well need to explain how else you get well tubing "PERFORATTIONS @ 6215'".

---

The Toxic Substances Control Act (pronounced "Tosca") is just about the only major federal environmental law that has not (yet) been Halliburdened. This is our chance to be in on the ground floor to use this law for regulating fracking chemicals. A strong public comment effort is absolutely necessary. The citizen petition that has resulted in this rulemaking was filed by EarthJustice, and is the work of Deborah Goldberg.

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

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.

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.
