A note about locations: With this issue this bulletin is changing from including links for those locations we have from either Mapquest or Google Maps to OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap is a non-corporate world project somewhat like Wikipedia, based on such methods as Open Source, Crowdsourcing, etc. Recommended! If you don’t like OpenStreetMaps maps, you can always paste a location given by latitude,longitude into the search bar of either Mapquest or Google Maps and use their maps instead. I have had a request to include a map with this bulletin. This is coming — possibly as soon as the next issue. Stay tuned!

Draft Technical Guidance, Substantive Revision

 DEP ID: 275-2101-001. Title: Air Quality Operating Permit Protocol. Description: The Department believes that timely and consistent permit application determinations are necessary to ensure that the air quality needs of the Commonwealth are fully met. The Department-wide policy known as Money Back Guarantee (MBG) has been replaced by Permit Decision Guarantee Program (PDGP), which sets forth enhanced permitting procedures intended to enhance timeliness of the permitting process and has already been implemented. This existing February 23, 1996, guidance document which provides guidance for regional personnel in reviewing plan approval applications and conducting permit inspections references MBG, necessitating amendment to reference the new PDGP. In addition, minor changes are included to reflect current program procedures that have evolved since 1996 that also enhance the timeliness of the permit processing. Although this policy is being updated to reflect the current plan approval fees specified in 25 Pa. Code § 127.702 (relating to plan approval fees), there are no fee increases established by this policy. The scope of the policy is limited to operation of the permitting program.

 Written Comments: Interested persons may submit written comments on this draft technical guidance document by June 3, 2013. The Department will accept comments submitted by e-mail, but comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. A return name and address must be included in each e-mail transmission. Written comments should be submitted to Ronald G. Gray, Chief, Division of Compliance and Enforcement, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Air Quality, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468 or rongray@pa.gov.

 Contact: Questions regarding the draft technical guidance document should be directed to Ronald G. Gray, (717) 772-3369 or rongray@pa.gov.

 Effective Date: The proposed guidance document will be effective upon publication as final in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

Pennsylvania's 2014 Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan; Availability for Public Comment
[43 Pa.B. 2514]
[Saturday, May 4, 2013]

 On October 17, 2006, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated final amendments to the national ambient air monitoring requirements for criteria pollutants in 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, 2013, 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 4, 2013, the 2014 Annual Air Monitoring Network Plan was 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 2014.

 The public is invited to submit comments on this network plan. Comments must be received by the Department on or before June 4, 2013. 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 or nlazor@state.pa.us. Use ''Annual Monitoring Network Plan'' as the subject line.

26-00585: Universal Well Services / Connellsville Camp Facility (730 Braddock View Dr., P. O. Box 130, Mount Braddock, PA 15465-0130) for the operation of a sand, cement, fly ash, and HCl storage and loading facility for the oil and gas industry located in North Union Township, Fayette County. In accordance with 25 Pa Code §§ 127.424 and 127.425 the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has received an application and intends to issue an Air Quality Operating Permit for the above mentioned facility.

 The subject facility consists of two sand storage tipples equipped with dust collectors, three cement/fly ash storage silos and a mixing operation equipped with a dust collector, two HCl storage tanks equipped with an acid scrubber, an HCl transloading operation equipped with an acid scrubber, a waste oil heater, a diesel storage tank, and paved and unpaved roads and surfaces. The potential emissions from the facility are estimated to be: 0.0 tpy NOx, 0.0 tpy CO, 0.0 tpy SOx, 9.8 tpy PM, 8.2 tpy PM10, 0.0 tpy VOC, and 0.2 tpy HCl.

 The facility is required to conduct a weekly survey of the facility during daylight hours while the facility is operating to ensure compliance with the visible emission, fugitive emission and malodor restrictions. Records of the weekly survey performed must be recorded. Monthly preventative maintenance inspections are to be performed on the control devices and recorded in an on-site log. The facility is also required to water all in-plant roads as needed to prevent fugitive emissions across the property line, maintain a set vehicle pattern, post speed limit sign of 15 mph as well as promptly remove earth or other material from paved roads onto which earth or other material has been transported by trucking or earth moving equipment, or other means. Particulate matter emissions are not to exceed 0.04 gr/dscf. The proposed authorization is subject to State and Federal Regulations. The permit includes emission limits as well as operation, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements.

 Those who wish to provide the Department with additional written information that they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of the Plan Approval may submit the information to Nick Waryanka, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222. Written comments must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Operating Permit (26-00585) and concise statements regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the Operating Permit.

 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 by publication in the newspaper or by the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, where the Department determines such notification by telephone is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Mr. Mark Wayner, Regional Air Quality Program Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Southwest Region, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. For additional information concerning the permit or the issuance procedure, contact Mr. Nick Waryanka, Air Quality Engineer, at the same address or phone at (412) 442-4172.

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

Notes:

We are still without a definite location for the Fike Connect Compressor Station. A reasonable guess would locate it at the “Fike Facility Pad” referred to in the PA Bulletin notice above, <http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.72671&mlon=-79.49334&zoom=15&layers=M>.

For several kinds of permits, e.g. Erosion & Sedimentation Permits for well pads and pipelines, and Air Quality permits for compressor stations, an operator is required to send municipalities by certified mail a notification of intent to apply for the permit. Proof of having sent the notifications must be included with the permit application to DEP. These municipal notifications go both to the county and to the municipalities. In theory, these should be almost the earliest form of notification we have of where Marcellus Shale construction is going to happen. (FERC pipeline documents provide even earlier advance notice, but only apply to interstate transmission lines and their included compressor stations.) In practice, the municipal notification can arrive after DEP has received a permit application — though this is not supposed to happen. The operator is supposed to provide a 30 day comment period to the county / municipality. I am not aware of any case where either Fayette County or any municipality in the county has actually made use of this comment period, or advertised it in any fashion. I did appear at one Fayette County Planning Commission meeting to ask some questions about a well pad site permit during the public comment period of the meeting. I was told by the chairman that they were “good questions” but that they should be directed to the DEP. It is clear that the Fayette County Planning Commission “Project Review” is completely proforma in the case of Marcellus Shale permits. One should note that even though there is a “municipal comment” period, these permits do not have a public comment period administered by DEP. The county and municipalities are throwing away the only form of public comment that exists for these permits.

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

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.
