Proposed Infrastructure State Implementation Plan Revision; Clean
Air Act Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) Applicable Requirements for the
2012 Annual Fine Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality
Standard; Public Hearing
[47 Pa.B. 3433]
[Saturday, June 17, 2017]
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is
proposing to revise the Commonwealth's State Implementation Plan
(SIP) to address the requirements of section 110(a)(1) and (2) of
the Clean Air Act (CAA) (42 U.S.C.A. § 7410(a)(1) and (2)) for the
2012 Annual Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS). Section 110(a)(1) and (2) of the CAA
directs each state to develop and submit to the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) a plan that provides for the
implementation, maintenance and enforcement of the NAAQS, including
the 2012 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. This type of SIP revision is commonly
referred to as an infrastructure SIP.
On July 15, 2014, the Commonwealth submitted an infrastructure SIP
revision to the EPA for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS. The submittal
addressed requirements in section 110(a)(2)(A), (B), (C),
(D)(i)(II), (D)(ii), (E)—(H) and (J)—(M) of the CAA and was approved
by the EPA. See 80 FR 26461 (May 8, 2015). The Department did not
address section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) of the CAA, dealing with
interstate transport, in its July 15, 2014, SIP revision. On March
17, 2016, the EPA released guidance entitled ''Information on the
Interstate Transport 'Good Neighbor' Provision for the 2012 Fine
Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards under
Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I).'' Therefore, this
infrastructure SIP revision addresses the Prong 1 (significant
contribution) and Prong 2 (interference with maintenance)
requirements in section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) of the CAA for the 2012
annual PM2.5 NAAQS.
The Department is seeking public comment on the proposed CAA
Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) infrastructure SIP revision for the 2012
PM2.5 NAAQS. The proposed SIP revision is available on the
Department's web site at www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eComment.
The Department will hold three public hearings, if requested, to
receive comments on the proposal. The hearings will be held
concurrently at 10 a.m. on July 18, 2017, at the Department's
Southeast Regional Office, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA;
Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA;
and Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA.
Persons wishing to present testimony should contact Roma Monteiro,
P.O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105 at (717) 787-9495 or
rmonteiro@pa.gov to reserve a time. Witnesses will be limited to 10
minutes and should provide two written copies of their comments at
the hearing.
If no person has expressed an interest in testifying at the
hearings before July 17, 2017, the hearings will be cancelled. The
Department will provide public notice on the Bureau of Air Quality
webpage at www.dep.pa.gov/Business/Air/BAQ/Pages/default.aspx if any
of the hearings are cancelled. Persons may also contact the
Department to find out if any of the hearings are cancelled by
contacting Roma Monteiro at (717) 787-9495 or rmonteiro@pa.gov.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend a hearing and require
an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in
the proceeding should contact Roma Monteiro at (717) 787-9495 or
rmonteiro@pa.gov. TDD users may contact the Pennsylvania AT&T
Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 to discuss how the Department can
best accommodate their needs.
The Department must receive comments no later than July 20, 2017.
Commentators are encouraged to submit comments using the
Department's eComment system at www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eComment or by
e-mail to ecomment@pa.gov. Written comments can be submitted to the
Policy Office, Department of Environmental Protection, Rachel Carson
State Office Building, P.O. Box 2063, Harrisburg, PA 17105-2063. Use
''Infrastructure SIP for PM2.5'' as the subject line in written
communication.

NOTICES
Requirement to Submit Emission Inventory Data in an Electronic
Format
[47 Pa.B. 3435]
[Saturday, June 17, 2017]
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is hereby
notifying all owners and operators of air contamination sources
subject to the air emission inventory provisions under 25 Pa. Code
§ 135.3 (relating to reporting) to submit all emission inventories
to the Department in an electronic format starting with the 2018
emission reporting year. The Department is specifying this format
change subject to its authority under 25 Pa. Code § 135.4 (relating
to report format).
This format change eliminates the need for paper forms and makes
the review process more efficient. This change also helps the
Department to advance its mission of environmental stewardship and
further its continuing efforts to make State government more
cost-effective. Case-by-case exceptions will be allowed if an owner
or operator can demonstrate to the regional office where the source
is located that submitting emission inventories in an electronic
format will put an undue burden on that owner or operator.
Questions regarding this notice can be directed to John Krueger,
Assistant Director, Bureau of Air Quality at jkrueger@pa.gov or
(717) 783-9264.

Notes:
Chevron's maps for the DOGBONE
CENTRALIZED WATER FACILITY and the DOG BONE WATERLINE (supplied to
Fayette County with Act 14 Notifications) show the waterline clearly
intersecting the boundaries of the Centralized Water Facility.
Accordingly, the two projects are being mapped here together as one
project, which is how this should be considered. The red portion of
the waterline is described by Chevron as overland, the purple is
described as buried. The Centralized Water Facility is shown in
yellow with a black outline. The maps were created by overlaying the
geotiff file for the Carmichaels Quad USGS topographic map with
"GIS-warped" tiffs constructed from scanning Chevron's Act 14 maps,
then tracing the pipeline in GIS software.
This facility raises many disturbing questions. The Dogbone
Centralized Water Facility is being permitted for "Residual Waste".
It cannot be a coincidence that the Dog Bone Waterline intersects
this facility, and one assumes the waterline will be connected to
the tank farm in the Centralized Water Facility. That means:
the pipeline will be acting as a residual
waste reuse pipeline. Did all those granting
easements for this "waterline" properly understand that it was to
function as a residual waste line? What direction will "water" flow
through the various segments of this pipeline? Will DEP in fact
evaluate these two projects together as a single project? What
exactly will be happening at the southeast end of this project? (At
its southeast end, Chevron shows the pipeline connecting to an
existing pipeline called "4-H (Young)"). (The 4-H (Young) pipeline
is not currently integrated into the mapping.) Does this pipeline
connect to the "Water Management Plan" known as "Monongahela River
Source 47"? It sure looks that way. If so, this would provide a
potential hydrological pathway from the Centralized Water Facility
directly into the Monongahela River, and discharge into the Mon from
the tank farm is surely illegal. What provision will there be to
monitor that this is not happening? We have word from the Fayette
County Office of Planning, Zoning, and Community Development that
the Centralized Water Facility will require a Special Exception as a
Public/Private Works. This will require a public hearing, at which
these and other questions can be raised.

According to their
web site,
"Universal Pressure Pumping, Inc. and Universal Well Services, Inc.
are subsidiaries of
Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc."
---
eFACTS lists two different sites under the
name Frankhouser for unconventional wells: Site ID 751715,
FRANKHOUSER
UNIT 3H-A OG WELL, and Site ID 736255,
FRANKHOUSER
WELL SITES ESCGP-EXPEDITED. This is probably a data entry
error at DEP. The first site is associated with the Drill &
Operate Well permits, and the second site is associated with the
Erosion & Sedimentation permits. There should only be one site.
There is only one well pad for Frankhouser listed in the
Well
Pads Report. The authorization above shows the second site,
but I'm showing location information for the first site. To make
things even more confusing, the "name" of the well pad for site
FRANKHOUSER UNIT 3H-A OG WELL is FRANKHOUSER UNIT 4H! (It would
appear that "E&S people" may in many cases be different
personnel than "well people". We've seen several cases of E&S
inspectors "recommending" inspection of well equipment, apparently
without actually being able to do this themselves.)
---
What on earth (or under it) is GOING ON at
the Stewart Well Pad in Luzerne Twp??? Whatever it is, it is
certainly not routine:
Item: Cementing on Stewart 2H seems to have failed completely. See
Inspection Report 2419580, 10/23/2015, listed in
the 11/1/15 issue of this bulletin. (The
inspection comment reads: "HORIZONTAL MARCELLUS, Drilling on air @
3197' (TD). Setting Intermediate Casing and cementing
tonight (10/23/2015).
During cementing
of casing loss circulation occurred at end of job.
Operator has agree to (CBL) to determine top of cement."
Item: In April, 2016, Chevron applied for Regulatory Inactive Status
for Stewart 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, and 6H, issued on 6/20/2016. (See
the 6/28/16 issue of this bulletin.)
Item: In October 2016, Chevron applied for "Well Plugging Notice
Alternate Method" on Stewart 2H, 3H, 4H, and 6H. These are still
pending. (Note Stewart 5H is missing from this list. Chevron has not
applied for plugging on Stewart 5H -- or if they have, it has not
been entered in eFACTS.)
Now we come to the current entry, for Stewart 1H. Chevron has
applied for just about everything under the sun for this well,
except moving it to Cleveland. In April, 2016, they applied for "
Drill
& Operate Well Permit Drill Deeper", issued 05/26/2016.
(The "drill deeper permit" seldom actually means that; in practice
it means "do-over".) Also in April they applied for "
Alt
Method of Equipping, Casing, or Venting Well" -- this shows as
still pending in eFACTS, but the "Alt Method" full permit linked
above lists it as issued 5/26/2016. (This application evidently
relates to interaction with a coal mine.) In October 2016, they
applied for "
Well
Plugging Notice Alternate Method" -- still pending. Now comes
the application above for "Modification". And why is the Site field
blank?
Also, there is an "anomaly" in the boundary of the "tract" in
Chevron's plats for Stewart 1H. There is a "notch" in the boundary
of the tract taken by exclusion of parcel
19240037. What provisions will Chevron
take to ensure no fracks enter the subsurface of this parcel?
What
actually happened at this well pad???
---
Authorization 1183070 above for EQT has
very confusing metadata. The exact authorization is for a road
crossing, and lists two wells, PITTSBURGH NATIONBANK #2 AND #3.
There aren't wells with those names. It also shows two site numbers,
which also appear to be wrong. The municipality shows as Stewart
Twp, and there only seem to be two EQT wells in Stewart Twp, which
are called in DEP's Oil & Gas Mapping database as MUELLER-HERR 1
and MUELLER-HERR 604586, so those are the two locations that are
mapped.
------------------------
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.dep.pa.gov/PublicParticipation/OfficeofEnvironmentalJustice/Pages/default.aspx>).
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.

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.
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.
