DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
PA Clean Streams Law, the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act, and the Oil and Gas Act Public Notice of Settlement via Federal Consent Decree
[51 Pa.B. 2881]
[Saturday, May 22, 2021]
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the PA Clean Streams Law (CSL), the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (DSEA) and the Oil and Gas Act (OGA), has entered into a federal Consent Decree (CD) along with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) on behalf of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (Plaintiffs collectively ''the Agencies'') with Defendant Chesapeake Appalachia, LLC (CALLC).
The Department is providing notice of this settlement as a courtesy to inform the public. The CD was lodged in Federal court in Williamsport for court approval on March 24, 2021 and was subject to a 30-day public comment period from the date of notice in the Federal Register. The CD was noticed in the Federal Register on March 30, 2021 and can be found at 86 FR 16641 (March 30, 2021). The CD is available at www.justice.gov/enrd/Consent_Decrees.html.
A press release about this settlement can be found on the Department's web site at www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/NewsRoomPublic/articleviewer.aspx?id=21935&typeid=1.
This CD serves to resolve violations caused by the construction and operation of oil and gas activities, including unauthorized encroachments, water obstructions, earth disturbance and stormwater management activities in violation of Sections 401, 402 and 611 of the CSL, 35 P.S. §§ 691.401, 691.402 and 691.611, Sections 6, 13 and 18 of the DSEA, 32 P.S. §§ 693.6, 693.13 and 693.18, and Section 3259 of the OGA, 58 Pa.C.S. §§ 3259(2)(i) and (ii) and the rules and regulations thereunder. The 76 sites are located in Beaver, Bradford, Sullivan, Susquehanna and Wyoming Counties. The total disclosure of unauthorized impacts to waters of this Commonwealth include 2,326 linear feet of streams and 25.778 acres of wetlands. The CD includes a civil penalty payment of $1.9 million dollars, of which Pennsylvania will receive 50%. The CD also provides a path for returning the sites to compliance under Pennsylvania law by addressing impacts through restoration where permits would not have been authorized and proper permitting of allowable impacts, and will include additional mitigation through stream restoration and enhancement as well as wetland replacement, restoration and enhancement. The CD requires CALLC to submit permit applications for certain unauthorized water obstructions and encroachments and earth disturbance activities.

26-00585: Universal Pressure Pumping (18360 Technology Dr., Box 4, Meadville, PA 16335-8333). In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.424, 127.425, and 127.521, the Department is providing notice that they intend to issue a renewal Natural Minor State Only Operating Permit (SOOP) to authorize the operation of the Mt. Braddock District Plant located in North Union Township, Fayette County.
Equipment at this facility includes two (2) sand storage tipples (Sand Tipples # 1 and # 3) equipped with dust collectors, five (5) cement storage silos equipped with dust collectors, two (2) fly ash storage silos equipped with dust collectors, a cement and fly ash mixing operation equipped with a dust collector, cement truck loading operations, four (4) cement and fly ash batch tanks, two (2) hydrochloric acid storage tanks equipped with an acid scrubber, an HCl transloading operation equipped with an acid scrubber, a waste oil space heater, a 66 Bhp diesel engine at Sand Tipple # 3, a diesel storage tank, and paved and unpaved roads and surfaces. The potential emissions from the facility are estimated to be: 2.31 tpy NOx, 2.38 tpy CO, 0.59 tpy SOx, 22.78 tpy PM, 22.16 tpy PM10, 0.01 tpy VOC, 0.05 tpy HCl, and 332 tpy GHG. This facility is subject to the applicable requirements of 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145. The proposed SOOP renewal includes conditions relating to applicable emissions restrictions, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and work practice standards requirements.
The application, DEP's Review Memorandum, and the proposed permit are available for public review during normal business hours at DEP's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. A file review can be scheduled through the DEP's website at https://www.dep.pa.gov/Citizens/PublicRecords/Pages/Informal-File-Review.aspx.
Any person may submit comments, a request for the Department to hold a public hearing, or a protest to the proposed operating permit or a condition thereof by submitting the information to Nick Waryanka, P.E., Air Quality Engineer, at the Southwest Regional Office.

Each written comment must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed permit (specify Operating Permit 26-00585) and concise statements regarding the relevancy of the information in the proposed permit or objections to issuance of the permit.
A public hearing may be held in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.429, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the information received. If a public hearing is held, all persons who have properly filed a protest under 25 Pa. Code § 127.426 may appear and give testimony. The applicant, the protestant, and other participants will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing (and the time, place and purpose of such hearing) by publication in the newspaper or by the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, where the Department determines such notification by telephone is sufficient.

[Repeat note from the 6/30/19
Issue of this Bulletin:] Sub-Facilities for the UNIVERSAL
PRESSURE PUMPING site were listed in the
5/20/18 issue of this bulletin as:
The Pennsylvania Bulletin listing for this permit from the June 22, 2013 Issue of PA Bulletin states:
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 permit includes monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, testing, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
(The original owner was listed as Universal Well Services, Inc.)
---
The previous permit for the West Summit Compressor Station was GP5-26-00589A. The [notorious] General Permit GP-5 from the Bureau of Air Quality apparently caused confusion in naming with the stream crossing permit GP-05, so apparently the BAQ has changed its naming scheme for these permits, and the new permit number for West Summit is AG5A-26-00001A. Having the permit number change with each revision is a longstanding BAQ Data Horror, which thankfully the other fiefdoms at DEP don't share.
The list of sub-facilities for this compressor station shows 5 compression engines and no oxidation catalysts. If that is correct, that would make it an extremely dirty compressor station. An oxidation catalyst is known to cut the emissions of NOx substantially; for the years 2012 - 2014, the top compressor station emitter of NOx in Fayette County was the West Summit Compressor Station at 55.63 tons per year for 2014, exceeding even Shamrock. (Data for this comes from the DEP Marcellus Shale Air Emissions Inventory, which is entirely industry self-reported.)

<https://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 Redstone, Springhill, Nicholson, and German 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:
<https://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.

Disclaimers:
This compilation from the above sources was done in part by hand using copy and paste and in part using automated methods; it 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.
