PROPOSED RULEMAKING
ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY BOARD
Acceptance of Rulemaking Petition for Study
[47 Pa.B. 4986]
[Saturday, August 26, 2017]
On August 15, 2017, the Environmental Quality Board (Board)
accepted a rulemaking petition for study under 25 Pa. Code Chapter
23 (relating to Environmental Quality Board policy for processing
petitions—statement of policy). The petition, submitted by the
Delaware Riverkeeper Network, requests the amendment of 25 Pa. Code
Chapter 109 (relating to safe drinking water) to establish a maximum
contaminant level for Perfluoro-octanoic Acid not to exceed six
parts per trillion.
Under the Board's acceptance of the petition, the Department of
Environmental Protection (Department) will prepare a report
evaluating the petition. This report will include a recommendation
on whether the Board should proceed with a proposed rulemaking and,
if so, the process that the Department would need to undertake to
develop a proposed rulemaking.
The previously-referenced petition is available to the public by
contacting the Environmental Quality Board, P.O. Box 8477,
Harrisburg, PA 17105-8477, (717) 787-4526, and is accessible on the
Department's web site at www.dep.pa.gov (select ''Public
Participation,'' then ''Environmental Quality Board (EQB),'' then
''2017 Meetings,'' under ''Meeting Agendas/Minutes/Handouts,'' see
''August 15, 2017'').

PROPOSED RULEMAKING
[ 25 PA. CODE CH. 109 ]
Safe Drinking Water; General Update and Fees
[47 Pa.B. 4986]
[Saturday, August 26, 2017]
The Environmental Quality Board (Board) proposes to amend Chapter
109 (relating to safe drinking water) to read as set forth in Annex
A. This proposed rulemaking includes three components:
• Incorporate the remaining general update provisions that were
separated from the proposed Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) as
directed by the Board on April 21, 2015, including amendments to
treatment technique requirements for pathogens, clarifications to
permitting requirements, and new requirements for alarms, shutdown
capabilities and auxiliary power.
• Amend existing permit fees and add new annual fees to supplement
Commonwealth costs and fill the funding gap ($7.5 million).
• Establish the regulatory basis for issuing general permits,
clarify that noncommunity water systems (NCWS) require a permit or
approval from the Depart-ment of Environmental Protection
(Department) prior to construction and operation, and address
concerns regarding gaps in the monitoring, reporting and tracking of
back-up sources of supply.
Collectively, this proposed rulemaking will provide for the
increased protection of public health by every public water system
(PWS) in this Commonwealth, and ensure that the Department has
adequate funding to enforce the applicable drinking water laws, meet
State and Federal minimum program elements, and retain primacy
(primary enforcement authority).
Safe drinking water is vital to maintaining healthy and sustainable
communities. Proactively avoiding incidents such as waterborne
disease outbreaks can prevent loss of life, reduce the incidents of
illness and reduce health care costs. Proper investment in PWS
infrastructure and operations helps ensure a continuous supply of
safe drinking water, enables communities to plan and build future
capacity for economic growth, and ensures their long-term
sustainability.
One or more of these proposed amendments will apply to all 8,521
PWSs in this Commonwealth.

The location for the well Anderson
Farm 1 provided by the DEP Oil & Gas Mapping database does not
agree with the recorded municipality, and it's not clear here
which is wrong. The recorded latitude and longitude for this well
show in Franklin Twp, but the municipality is showing as Nicholson
Twp. The presumed parcel ID for the indicated lat/long is a parcel
with the owner showing as having the name Anderson, so it's a
reasonable guess that the lat/long are correct and the
municipality is wrong. This is the way I am mapping it.
The issue referred to above for the Stevens
Unit well pad was covered in the
3/6/16 issue of this bulletin, Inspection ID 2451281.

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.
