Interim Final Technical Guidance Document

 DEP ID: 800-0810-001. Title: Guidelines for Implementing Area of Review Regulatory Requirement for Unconventional Wells. Description: This interim final guidance informs unconventional well operators engaged in hydraulic fracturing activities how to comply with the requirements of The Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. §§ 691.1—691.1001), 58 Pa.C.S. (relating to oil and gas) regarding the 2012 Oil and Gas Act, 25 Pa. Code Chapter 78a (relating to unconventional wells) and other applicable laws. This interim final guidance has been developed to facilitate appropriate risk mitigation for unconventional well operators and includes a risk-based classification scheme for offset well locations and commensurate levels of monitoring; sections addressing communication incident management, reporting and resolution; and operational alternatives and technical considerations for different anticipated scenarios. This interim final guidance also provides an outline of the Department's well adoption permitting process.

[Excerpt:]
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Title 25—ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY BOARD
[ 25 PA. CODE CHS. 78 AND 78a ]
Environmental Protection Performance Standards at Oil and Gas Well Sites
[46 Pa.B. 6431]
[Saturday, October 8, 2016]

 The Environmental Quality Board (Board) amends Chapter 78 (relating to oil and gas wells) and adds Chapter 78a (relating to unconventional wells) to read as set forth in Annex A. This final-form rulemaking relates to surface activities associated with the development of unconventional wells. The goal of this final-form rulemaking is to set performance standards for surface activities associated with the development of unconventional wells and to prevent and minimize spills and releases to the environment to ensure protection of the waters of the Commonwealth, public health and safety, and the environment.

 This final-form rulemaking represents the first update to rules governing surface activities associated with the development of unconventional wells. This final-form rulemaking adds Chapter 78a to establish the requirements for unconventional well development and amends Chapter 78 to delete any conflicting requirements that remained in that chapter for unconventional wells.

 Major areas of this final-form rulemaking in Chapter 78a include public resource impact screening, water supply replacement standards, waste management and disposal, and establishing identification and select monitoring of wells located proximal to hydraulic fracturing activities. Other new regulations include standards for well development impoundments, a process for the closure or waste permitting for wastewater impoundments, onsite wastewater processing, site restoration, standards for borrow pits, and reporting and remediating spills and releases.

 Chapter 78a also contains requirements for the containment of regulated substances, oil and gas gathering pipelines, well development pipelines and water management plans (WMP).

Notes:

The Marcellus Shale Coalition has unfortunately filed a lawsuit in Commonwealth Court to prevent these new regulations from taking effect.

---
Triethylene glycol is the chemical used in most dehydrators to remove water from the gas stream. If it has contaminated the soil, then obviously it was leaking; it would be surprising if such a leak did not also release significant amounts of air pollution. Laurel Mountain Midstream's own self-reported Marcellus Shale Air Emissions Inventory figures for 2012-2014 show over 3 tons of formaldehyde in each year, which considering it is an extremely small compressor station seems excessive.

This legal notice is the first word we have that the Joseph Compressor Station is "former".

---
The NOI to Fayette County for the Coastal Central Well Pad is presumably for the same application as DEP authorization ID 1096925, <http://www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eFACTSWeb/searchResults_singleAuth.aspx?AuthID=1096925>. (Notice for this application appeared in the 9/4/16 issue of this bulletin.) The indication that Burnett applied to the Army Corps of Engineers is very puzzling. This is the first notice carried in this bulletin of an application to the Army Corps of Engineers, which has jurisdiction over "the navigable waters of the United States". What navigable body of water could be involved here is currently a mystery. The actual notification document states:

"On behalf of Burnett Oil Co., Inc., this notice is to inform you of our intent to submit an Army Corps Section 404 Joint Permit Application to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection."

This makes it sound as though there is only one application, to DEP, which is handling section 404 for the Army Corps of Engineers. Section 404 appears to refer to section 404 of the US Clean Water Act; see:
<https://www.epa.gov/cwa-404/section-404-permit-program>
(I'm still researching this.)

The full Burnett Oil NOI for the Coastal Central Well Pad is available here:
<http://faymarwatch.org/documents/Coastal_Central_NOI.pdf>

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

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.
