Final Technical Guidance Document; Substantive Revision
[42 Pa.B. 3175]
[Saturday, June 2, 2012]

DEP ID: 273-4130-003. Title: Guidance for Application of Regional Civil Assessment Procedure. Description: The Department of Environmental Protection has revised its Guidance for Application of Regional Civil Assessment Procedure, Technical Guidance Document Number 273-4130-003, which was developed in 1992 and revised in 2002 to establish uniform criteria for assessing monetary penalties for violations of requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act, Pennsylvania Air Pollution Control Act (APCA) and rules and regulations adopted under the acts. The technical guidance document provides a methodology for determining appropriate civil penalties to resolve violations in accordance with section 9.1 of the APCA. The final revisions include provisions for violations of applicable requirements including permit or plan approval conditions, source testing, emission limits, 12-month rolling emission limits, air pollutant releases, visible emissions, fugitive emissions, malodor, open burning and small source NOx violations. In addition, specific steps of the penalty calculation methodology that considers factors of a violation more than once have been corrected. In addition to clarifying revisions, the changes to the document include an inflation adjustment procedure, changes to the penalty adjustment factors and additional provisions to address the financial benefit to a person in consequence of a violation, as required under section 9.1 of the APCA.

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

Contact: Questions regarding the final technical guidance document should be directed to Scott Kepner, (717) 772-2330 or skepner@pa.gov.

I will publish a link to this document when it becomes available. (I received my copy via E-mail as a party to the case.)

Notes:

Today's issue of the Uniontown Herald-Standard contains a cover story about an automobile accident with the following sad information:

"An Adah woman was killed Friday morning when the car she was driving collided with a large truck on Route 21 at the intersection with Route 166 in German Township.

Fayette County Coroner's officials said that Jacqueline Tremblay, 41, was pronounced dead at Uniontown Hospital at 9:05 a.m., less than an hour after the collision.

Officials said the crash occurred at 8:25 a.m. when Tremblay's sedan and a truck hauling water collided."

The article provides no further details about the truck. Was the truck "hauling water" for fracking? Should we count this unfortunate accident as a fracking FATALITY? Is it Fayette County's *first* fracking fatality? At this time there is insufficient information to answer these questions.

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.

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.
