26-00599A: PPL Renewable Energy, LLC (Two North Ninth Street, Allentown, PA 18101) Notice is hereby given in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44—127.46 that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue Air Quality Plan Approval 26-00599A to allow the installation and initial temporary operation of a landfill gas to energy plant at the Chestnut Valley Landfill located in German Township, Fayette County. Sources include landfill gas treatment system, two (2) landfill gas-fired reciprocating internal combustion engines, and associated two (2) electric generators.

 Potential emissions are not expected to exceed 43.0 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 150.8 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), 8.8 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC), 18.8 tons of formaldehyde (HCHO), 20.8 tons of total hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and 18,154 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) per year. Best available technology (BAT) for the proposed landfill gas-fired engines is ultra-lean burn combustion technology and good combustion practices including the use of air/fuel ratio controllers and proper maintenance and operation. The authorization is subject to State regulations including 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1, 123.2, 123.31 and 123.41. Federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) including 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart JJJJ for spark ignition internal combustion engines and Federal National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) including 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ for reciprocating internal combustion engines will apply to the proposed engines. Plan Approval has been conditioned to ensure compliance with all applicable rules. This includes testing, work practice, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting conditions. Once compliance with the Plan Approval is demonstrated, the applicant will subsequently apply for a Title V Operating Permit in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Subchapter G.

 A person may oppose the proposed plan approval by filing a written protest with the Department through Alexander Sandy, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222. Additional written comments may also be submitted. Each protest or set of written comments must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval (PA-26-00599A) and concise statements regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the Plan Approval.

 All comments must be received prior to the close of business 30 days after the date of this publication.

 A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the information received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing in writing or by publication in the newspaper and the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, where the Department determines such notification by telephone is sufficient.

 For additional information, you may contact Alexander Sandy at 412-442-4028.

INSPECTION_RESULT_DESCRIPTION: Violation(s) Noted
INSPECTION_COMMENT: On 4/23/2014 Dominion Trans Inc., self reported a spill of an unknown amount of brine water at their UW#107 storage well site off Skyline Drive in South Union Township, Fayette County.  The spill was found by the well tender on 4/23/14, when they noticed dead vegetation around the containment dike drain valve and a trail leading down slope from there.   No waterways were affected.The Department inspected the site on 4/25/2014.  Weavertown envrionmental and Dominion work crews had been on site since the spill was discovered.  Weavertown was conducting the soil testing and Dominion's crews were doing the contaminated soil removal.  The spill is thought to have been caused by a leaking vlave on the dike drain.  The brine seeped out of the leaking valve and traveled down slope for approximately 70 yards across a field and into the woods.  Crews were removing contaminated soil from the spill's furthest point, back up to the leaky valve area.  Work removing the contaminated soil was expected to be concluded by the end of today.

VIOLATION_ID: 694372
VIOLATION_DATE: 04/25/2014
VIOLATION_CODE: 91.34A - Failure to take all necessary measures to prevent spill. Inadequate diking, potential pollution

Notes:

The listing above for authorization 1022281 is shown as SHEPERD UNIT 4H. However, the permit number listed, 051-24511, is for the well SHEPERD UNIT 6H. If the correct "Farm name" is supposed to be SHEPERD UNIT 4H, the correct permit number should be 051-24509.

Something "serious" seems to have happened at this well site. Apparently, none of the wells has gone into production. 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. This authorization record is clear evidence that at least one well at this site has FAILED PERMANENTLY AND COMPLETELY.

There is something EXTREMELY ODD about Laurel Mountain Midstream applying for an extension of both permits 26-00588 and 26-00588A. Normally one would consider that 26-00588A has replaced 26-00588. It is not clear what is going on here.

The "GP5" permit for the Sanfilippo Well Sites above is not the same type of permit as a GP-5 for a compressor station. General Permits are numbered separately by different bureaus within DEP. So the Bureau of Air Quality's GP-5 is not the same thing as the Office of Water Management's GP5.

BURNWORTH WEST UNIT 1H was issued a "Drill & Operate Well Permit Inactive Status" on 5/3/2012, and appears to be the only well on this pad. It apparently never went into production.

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

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.

EPA Region 3 Water Protection Public Notices: <http://www.epa.gov/reg3wapd/public_notices.htm>
Marcellus Shale waste disposal injection wells in Pennsylvania are regulated directly by EPA, not DEP. Notice of any new permit applications will appear at the above web address.  I'm not aware of any subscription service to be notified of such applications. I'm not aware of any Marcellus Shale waste disposal injection wells in Fayette County (yet ...) but we need to monitor this page for future applications.

-------------------------
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.
