Residual Waste General Permit WMGR123; Base Permit Renewal with Revisions
[50 Pa.B. 7249]
[Saturday, December 19, 2020]
Under the authority of the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P.S. §§ 6018.101—6018.1003) and the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (53 P.S. §§ 4000.101—4000.1904), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is providing notice of the renewal of General Permit No. WMGR123 with revisions. This revised general permit will take effect Monday, January 4, 2021. This general permit authorizes permittees to process, transfer and beneficially use oil and gas liquid waste to develop or hydraulically fracture an oil or gas well. The revisions to WMGR123 consist of the following:
• Clarification to the proposed definitions for ''processing,'' ''transfer'' and ''oil and gas liquid waste.''
• Minor updates to clarify the difference between a ''unit'' which pertains to structures used to contain de-wasted oil and gas liquid waste, and a ''facility'' which pertains to an operation that processes or transfers oil and gas liquid waste.
• Minor updates to terminology referencing de-wasted material and oil and gas liquid waste.
• Removal of proposed conditions that allowed for WMGR123 permittees processing oil and gas liquid waste to meet Appendix A limits for de-wasting to request a reduced sampling and analysis frequency and reduced parameter list.
• Addition of standard language that would allow for clearances provided by the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program to be considered during a Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory (PNDI) review.
• Addition of language that would allow Radiation Protection Actions Plans to be maintained in an electronic format on sites where an office or building is not located onsite, provided the plan is available at the facility at all times, and to allow for electronic copies of the plan to be provided to the Department upon request.
• Addition of language to allow all records that are required to be maintained by permittees to be maintained in either hard copy or an electronic format.
• Inclusion of minor updates to references to the Oil and Gas Act (58 Pa.C.S. 2301—3504 (relating to oil and gas).
• Inclusion of a minor clarification to Condition C.22., relating to inspection requirements for WMGR123 operations located on a well pad that are not actively processing or transferring (storing) oil and gas liquid waste.
• Addition of two conditions that would require Department notification of the beginning of construction activities and certification of equipment installation at WMGR123 operations prior to processing or transfer, as requested by regional office staff.
• Addition of Condition C.27 that states permittees are not authorized to use open-top storage tanks or any other air contamination sources under the terms of WMGR123 unless the facility demonstrates that the open top tanks or sources are in compliance with 25 Pa. Code Subpart C, Article III (relating to air resources), pertaining to air emissions.
• Addition of Condition E.3. that would require permittees to immediately notify the Department in the event that the maximum volume of processed and unprocessed oil and gas liquid waste utilized in approved bonding calculations are exceeded.
Persons interested in reviewing the general permit may contact Chris Solloway at csolloway@pa.gov, (717) 787-7381 or Environmental Group Manager, Permits Section, Division of Municipal and Residual Waste, Bureau of Waste Management, P.O. Box 69170, Harrisburg, PA 17106-9170.
Persons in need of accommodations as provided for in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 should contact Chris Solloway at (717) 787-7381 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

INSPECTION_COMMENT: "On 12/2/2020 at 11:15am I arrived on location to conduct an inspection.Diversified stated a nearby compressor station had gone down, causing well to vent and prevent and avoid over pressuring the field. The compressor has since been repaired.
The well head had some rust; however, appeared to be in working order showing no obvious signs of leaking. The associated GPU was also found to be in good working order. There was some rust noted on the lines and the tank as seen in picture 3. The Altair didn't show any stray gas leaks at the well or the GPU."

The General Permit WMGR123 referenced above in the PA Bulletin section is the type of permit issued to the Dogbone Centralized Water Facility; there is a renewal of this permit still pending. For the most recent listing of this application in this bulletin, click here:

Regarding section C.27 above prohibiting open-top storage tanks with no provision of compliance with air pollution regulations, requirement to close the tops of the storage tanks at the Dogbone Centralized Water Facility was a key demand of the members of Freedom From Fracking who participated in Fayette County Zoning Hearing Board case ZHB17-41.

Apologies to all, the listing for the Cerullo Pad A notification above should have run in the previous issue of this bulletin. Due to a bug in the software that hopefully will expand the coverage of this list in the near future, the Cerullo application was missed. The bug has been fixed.

The compressor station referred to in the comment to Inspection Report 3115405 above is likely to be the notorious Springhill #2, in which Fayette Marcellus Watch has been deeply involved since its inception. The Site Record for Springhill #2 shows Inspection Report 3122002 with the result Pending. This result code is seldom seen and means, apparently, that the result of the inspection is dependent on receiving further information. Nearby residents report hearing a sound that could have been a blowdown at this site, but can't remember the exact date. The experience of having pressure-release emissions from a well condensate tank when the compressor station is down is an experience reported by other residents with a Marcellus well connected to this compressor station on their property. Unfortunately, wells are not required to have an air quality permit.
Unfortunately, air quality inspection reports are not available on-line if they don't result in a violation, so we don't know what Inspection Report 3122002 actually says. The only information showing for it is:
| Inspection Id | Inspection Date | Inspection Type | Inspection Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3122002 | 2020-12-15 | Full Compliance Evaluation | Pending |

<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.

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 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.
