Pa. issues air pollution rules for gas drilling

www.timesleader.com/news/Pa-issues-air-pollution-rules-for-gas-drilling.html

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania state environmental regulators will follow new guidelines endorsed by a natural gas industry group for deciding how to group together facilities such as wells, dehydrators and compressors when enforcing air pollution standards.

The Department of Environmental Protection issued the new guidelines Wednesday and opened them up for public comment until Nov. 21.

The Citizens Voice of Wilkes-Barre reports (http://bit.ly/q4a4KE) that the industry group, Marcellus Shale Coalition, last year urged the state not to group air pollution sources that are not contiguous or adjacent, even if they’re connected by pipelines.

Instead, it recommended a quarter-mile rule that several other states follow and which the Pennsylvania DEP wants to follow.

The new guidelines take effect immediately, but are considered interim for now.

WVU Professor: Methane Already in Groundwater

Researcher looks for causes of contamination

Those who believe their drinking water wells may be contaminated with methane released by natural gas fracking may be wrong, according to a West Virginia University professor.

“The source of methane gas can range from active or inactive deep coal mines, landfills, gas storage fields or microbial gas generated in a shallow subsurface,” said assistant professor Shikha Sharma, noting that dissolved methane gas already exists in groundwater where there is no shale gas drilling.

“As a scientist, it is my job to stay focused on the scientific perspective of this study while staying neutral on the political and social issues associated with it,” she added.

In the midst of a study on the origins of methane gas in the Monongahela River watershed and other areas of this region, Sharma stops short of saying that fracking, or hydraulic fracturing of the shale, absolutely does not release methane into groundwater.

“Depending on how and where this methane is formed, it can have very different C and H isotope signatures. This gives us the ability to know if it comes from hydrofracking releases or some other source,” she said.

Fracking occurs after companies finish the drilling portion of natural gas development. Millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are pumped more than a mile into the ground at high pressure in order to shatter the rock, thereby releasing the gas.

Last year, Marshall County resident Jeremiah Magers believed fracking by those working for Chesapeake Energy caused his drinking water well to become contaminated with methane.

Chesapeake officials said they collected samples from Magers’ water source. They informed him that dissolved methane gas was detected in his water sample, but that methane gas may be generated from various sources.

Earlier this year, however, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection fined Chesapeake $900,000 for apparently causing methane to be released into private water wells in the northeastern portion of the state, near New York. Environmental department officials said improper well casing and cementing by Chesapeake in shallow zones allowed methane to migrate into groundwater, thus polluting the drinking water supply. The fines included a $700,000 civil penalty and a $200,000 deposit into the Keystone State’s well plugging fund.

With the jury still out on whether fracking can release methane into groundwater, Sharma continues her study. It is being funded by a $25,000 grant from the U.S. Geological Survey, provided through the West Virginia Water Research Institute. This money allows Sharma and her graduate student, Michon Mulder, to gather and test water samples from groundwater wells in the Monongahela River watershed.

The study will allow the researchers to construct a picture of existing methane gas sources in the area, which could then be used to identify dissolved methane releases associated with Marcellus Shale gas drilling.

“There are some concerns associated with higher levels of dissolved methane,” said Sharma. “The levels of dissolved methane higher than 28 milligrams per liter are considered potentially flammable. Because dissolved methane already exists in some of our samples, we need to figure out where the actual sources of this dissolved methane gas are located.

“It is important to understand exactly how much methane exists in the groundwater now and what sources it comes from, so that unbiased decisions can be made regarding the potential and real impacts of hydrofracking on our water sources in the future,” she added.

Delaware River basin gas drilling meeting delayed

The Delaware River Basin Commission on Friday postponed until Nov. 21 a meeting to consider regulations that would allow natural gas drilling in the basin. The new date is a month later than planned.
The commission, a federal and interstate agency, oversees the basin, which provides drinking water for 15 million people, including Philadelphia and some suburbs. It has put a moratorium on drilling until rules can be adopted.

The commission said it needed more time to prepare for the meeting, expected to be the site of a major protest.

Regulations were proposed in December, and by the time a public-comment period ended in April, the commission had received 69,000 submissions.

Some commission members had pushed for swift action. The New Jersey representative threatened to withhold state funding of the agency if it did not act at its September meeting.

But shortly before the September meeting, the commission announced it could not finish the job in time. A special meeting was announced for Oct. 21.

The commission says it’s still not ready. “Additional time is necessary to complete the ongoing process,” a release issued Friday said.

Other members of the commission are Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, and the federal government, represented by the Army Corps of Engineers.

The gas-rich Marcellus Shale formation underlies the upper portion of the river basin. But the river and many tributaries there are under special protection because of their high water quality.

Critics have been angered by the possibility the commission would present revised regulations and vote on them at the same meeting.

The commission says the postponement will allow it to publish the modified regulations on its website on Nov. 7, two weeks before the expected vote.

No public comment will be taken at the meeting, the release said.

In August, environmental groups filed a federal lawsuit contending that the commission should not adopt any regulations until a broad cumulative-impact study is completed. New York, which will not allow drilling until state regulations are adopted, filed a similar action in June.

New Jersey State Police confirmed that a permit had been issued for protesters to demonstrate outside the meeting. The permit application estimated 500 people would participate.

Within the last few days, Facebook and Twitter accounts for “OccupyDRBC” – an offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street protests – have been formed.

The Nov. 21 meeting will run from 10 a.m. to noon at the War Memorial in Trenton

Corbett unveils shale proposal

standardspeaker.com/news/corbett-unveils-shale-proposal-1.1212610#axzz1ZowPSaWj
By ROBERT SWIFT (Harrisburg Bureau Chief)
Published: October 4, 2011

HARRISBURG – Gov. Tom Corbett threw a curveball into the Marcellus Shale impact fee debate Monday by proposing that individual counties take the responsibility for adopting an impact fee.

The governor suggested a two-step process in which the state would approve enabling legislation setting the fee amount and uses for fee revenue. Then counties with operating wells would have the choice of adopting or not adopting the per-well fee.

Corbett’s proposal differs from other major impact fee bills before the Legislature that call for state collection of impact fee revenue and disbursement of revenue to eligible counties. He also endorsed recommendations made by his Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission to keep wells at a greater distance from water sources, increase well bonding requirements for drillers and double penalties for violations. Offered one month before the Nov. 8 general  election, the governor’s emphasis on county adoption of an impact fee could become an issue in county commissioner races.

Corbett proposed that each Marcellus well pay an impact fee of $40,000 the first year of operation, $30,000 the second year; $20,000 the third year and $10,000 in the fourth through sixth years in counties that adopt an impact fee.

Under the proposal, a county could provide a fee credit up to 30 percent if a driller invests in natural gas fueling stations or public transit.

Corbett outlined a list of mainly local uses for fee revenue with a smaller 25 percent share going to several state agencies that respond to drilling-related issues. Legal uses for revenue would range from road and bridge repairs, human services and courts and records management and geographic information systems.

“Whatever the fee brings in, it’s going to the places that are feeling the impact,” Corbett said.

The governor predicted that fee revenue from his proposal could generate $120 million in the first year and reach nearly $200 million in six years. This is an amount below the $200 million first-year revenue yield that Senate President Pro Tempore Joseph Scarnati, R-25, Jefferson County, called for last week.

“I think it would be very difficult to get a single Democrat in support of a county impact fee,” said Sen. John Yudichak, D-14, Nanticoke, who has offered his own impact fee bill. “All the governor’s proposal is doing is authorizing counties.”

Yudichak’s proposal would set a $17,000 base impact fee per Marcellus well and splits revenue between local communities and state environmental programs such as Growing Greener.

“We’re clearly open to the governor’s proposal,” said House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-28, Pittsburgh, emphasizing that nothing is set on the county fee adoption provision.

There are pros and cons to requiring that counties adopt a fee, said Douglas Hill, executive director of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania. “It (revenue) comes straight to us, and we don’t have to wait,” he added. “It does raise some risk of a competition between the counties (with or without impact fees).”

The governor’s plan doesn’t account for the statewide impacts of natural gas drilling, said Bill Patton, spokesman for House Minority Leader Frank Dermody, D-33, Pittsburgh.

PennFuture seeks state park protection

citizensvoice.com/news/drilling/pennfuture-seeks-state-park-protection-1.1211603#axzz1Zj7VI2Rp
By Robert Swift (Harrisburg Bureau Chief)
Published: October 1, 2011

HARRISBURG – A statewide environmental group launched a campaign on several fronts Thursday to head off any future gas drilling in state parks.

PennFuture called on natural gas companies to voluntarily sign a pledge not to drill in state parks or buy gas supplies drilled there. The organization also urged lawmakers to enact a significant special impact fee for any drilling in state parks that disturbs the land surface.

The issue is considered pressing by environmentalists because the state doesn’t own the subsurface mineral rights beneath an estimated 80 percent of state park land. Sixty-one of the 117 state parks are in the Marcellus Shale formation and seismic testing for gas deposits has taken place in several parks.

“There is a very real possibility of gas rigs puncturing our state parks,” said John Quigley, a former secretary of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, who is a PennFuture consultant.

Quigley said the group recognizes that state law gives owners of mineral rights in state parks the right to develop their property and sign leases with gas companies. That’s why the appeal is being made to the gas companies not to seek leases in recognition of the public value of park land and its importance to local economies, he said.

“I think frankly the industry does not need the PR headache of disturbing the park land,” added Quigley. In addition, PennFuture is working with lawmakers to introduce bills to require a 300-foot setback to drilling along the boundaries of a state park and to establish a special impact fee substantial enough to discourage drilling on park land that disturbs the land surface, he said.

When the state acquired tracts for state park land in decades past before deep gas drilling was even considered possible, the mineral rights were either too expensive or already owned by individuals or in some cases companies that since became defunct.

But DCNR has sketchy information about the ownership of mineral rights. Quigley said it would be too expensive and time-consuming to do title searches on mineral rights at all the state parks. The general policy has been to require an owner to submit proof of title, he said.

DCNR monitors the activities of gas companies if they conduct tests on privately owned mineral deposits in state parks and makes sure they abide by rules governing disturbance of surface land, said Richard Allan, the DCNR secretary, in testimony Wednesday before the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee.

“Beyond that, we have to give them access if they want to do certain tests,” he said.

EPA hearing focuses on reducing gas drilling air pollution

http://www.timesleader.com/news/EPA_hearing_focuses_on_reducing_gas_drilling_air_pollution_09-28-2011.html
September 28, 2011
By KEVIN BEGOS

PITTSBURGH — A public hearing Tuesday on proposed rules to reduce air pollution from oil and gas drilling operations found at least some points of agreement between industry and environmental groups.

Howard Feldman, the director of regulatory and scientific affairs at the American Petroleum Institute, was the first speaker at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency hearing in Pittsburgh.

Feldman asked the EPA to extend the public comment period and give companies a one-year extension to comply with the new rules. The current EPA timeline would see the rules take effect in the spring of 2012.

But Feldman told The Associated Press that industry isn’t opposed to the basic concept of the EPA proposal, which would apply new pollution control standards to about 25,000 gas wells that are hydraulically fractured, or fracked, each year. The fracking process blasts large amounts of water deep into the earth to break up dense shale and allow natural gas to escape.

“We think EPA has done a good job on the rule. We think it’s pretty reasonable,” Feldman said. “We just need a few more accommodations to make this work smoothly.”

The technology to implement the proposed rule allows drillers to capture and sell gas that would normally go to waste. EPA estimates that the rule would actually save the industry about $30 million each year.

“A lot of companies are doing that already,” Feldman said of the capture process.

But some said the issues in Pennsylvania require more time to review.

Kathryn Klaber, president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, said her group thinks there’s “a lot more work to do” on the proposed rules, which could place a heavy burden on industry.

But citizens and environmental groups said there should be no delays in implementing the rules, because there are already problems.

Citizens Unite – Compile Your Water Quality Data

(Note: Brian Oram is a charter member of the Carbon County Groundwater Guardians.)

Citizens – there are more private wells than public water supplies in Pennsylvania. In many regions, the natural gas companies have conducted baseline testing and have returned the data to you. The problem is that the industry has the data and can easily compile, but for citizens they are lacking an explanation of the data and it is not being compiled. We need to work together to protect our groundwater data.

To help – send NO Money – All that is being asked is as follows:

1. Send a copy of your water quality data or host a community meeting where the water quality data could be compiled.

To request a community meeting or presentation on “Getting the Waters Tested- The Marcellus Shale Factor” or the “Community Groundwater / Surfacewater Database” – email brian.oram@wilkes.edu or bfenviro@ptd.net. Please put Citizen Database in Subject.

Gas well cement issues reported

http://citizensvoice.com/news/drilling/gas-well-cement-issues-reported-1.1205029#axzz1YDTV7QfJ
By Laura Legere (staff writer)
September 18, 2011

At the recent Shale Gas Insight conference in Philadelphia, the CEO of one of the largest Marcellus Shale drilling companies in Pennsylvania was unequivocal in his message that methane contamination of drinking water supplies from faulty gas wells is at an end.

“Problem identified; problem solved,” Chesapeake Energy’s chairman Aubrey McClendon declared.

But violations data released last week by the state Department of Environmental Protection show problems persist with the cemented strings of steel casing meant to protect groundwater from gas and fluids in Marcellus wells.

In August, DEP inspectors found defective or inadequate casing or cement at eight Marcellus wells, including Hess Corp.’s Davidson well in Scott Township, Wayne County – the first casing violation found in the county where only a handful of Marcellus wells have been drilled.

During the first eight months of 2011, 65 Marcellus wells were cited for faulty casing and cementing practices – one more than was recorded in all of 2010.

Casing and cementing violations do not necessarily indicate that gas has or will migrate into drinking water supplies, and methane is present in many water wells in Pennsylvania from natural pathways unrelated to gas drilling. But in the three dozen instances when methane has migrated into water supplies from gas wells in Northeast Pennsylvania, cement flaws have been identified by state regulators as a primary pathway for the gas.

In his comments at the conference, McClendon credited an “updated and customized casing system” included in stronger state oil and gas casing and cementing regulations for “preventing new cases of gas migration.”

The increase in casing and cementing violations reflects the state’s increased attention to the issue, especially since the regulations were updated in February. The steady pace of new violations – an average of eight new wells a month have been cited for casing, cement or leaking gas violations this year – also indicates the complexity of the problem in a state where the geology is neither uniform nor predictable.

DEP Secretary Michael Krancer, who was not present for McClendon’s statement, said he could not respond to it directly when asked about it at the shale conference.

“One case of methane migration or well contamination is one case too many,” he said.

Most of the casing and cement violations recorded this summer became evident to inspectors when bubbles rose from between the cemented casing strings in water pooled at the well sites or when combustible gas was detected with meters at the surface, according to notes in the violation reports posted by the department online.

The department considers bubbling or escaping gas at the surface an indication of problems below.

In June, July and August, bubbling or escaping gas was noted during inspections of Marcellus wells in Wayne, Wyoming, Susquehanna, Bradford and Lycoming counties in the northeast and northcentral region. The wells’ operators include Chesapeake, Hess, Exco Resources, Williams Production and XTO Energy.

The inspector’s notes from the Hess Davidson well on Aug. 18 confirmed bubbling outside of one of the casing strings and that “Hess indicated (the) bubbling is methane.” The company was directed to develop a plan within 30 days to “remediate (the) problem of defective cement.”

Hess spokeswoman Maripat Sexton said the company is working with DEP to resolve the issue.

“There does not appear to be any adverse impacts,” she said.

Sept. 15 webinar to examine Marcellus gas legal issues

http://live.psu.edu/story/54984#nw69

Ross Pifer

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A Web-based seminar to be presented at 1 p.m. Sept. 15 by Penn State Extension will examine legal issues associated with natural-gas development in the Marcellus Shale formation underlying Pennsylvania.

There have been more than 2,350 wells drilled into the Marcellus in the Keystone state in the last few years, primarily in the southwest, northeast and northcentral regions. Those wells and wellpads, the gas they produce and construction of related infrastructure, such as pipelines and transfer stations, have created legal dilemmas for residents and municipalities.

In the webinar, which will run for more than an hour, presenter Ross Pifer, clinical professor of law and director of the Agricultural Law Resource and Reference Center at Penn State’s Dickinson School of Law, will talk about legal developments, encompassing statutes, regulations and court opinions at the state and federal level.

“I will review the various Marcellus Shale legal developments that have occurred over the past several months as well as those that are ongoing,” he said.”I will discuss the legislation that has been enacted by the Pennsylvania General Assembly and cover some of the other topics that are being considered by the General Assembly and U.S. Congress.”

Pifer also intends to discuss regulations and other ongoing administrative proceedings from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Susquehanna River Basin Commission, Delaware River Basin Commission, Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission and the state Department of Environmental Protection.

As Marcellus activities occur throughout much of the commonwealth, the legal developments related to Marcellus Shale continue to increase, Pifer noted. “I will cover the issue of municipal regulation of natural-gas operations, and I will address highlights from court opinions that have been issued by state and federal courts in Pennsylvania.

“The goal of this webinar is to highlight the numerous legal developments to provide the participants with an overview of the legal landscape surrounding Marcellus Shale.”

The webinar is part of a series of online workshops addressing opportunities and challenges related to the state’s Marcellus Shale gas boom. Information about how to register for the session is available on the webinar page of Penn State Extension’s natural-gas website at http://extension.psu.edu/naturalgas/webinars.

Previous webinars, publications and information on topics such as air pollution from gas development; the gas boom’s effect on landfills; water use and quality; zoning; gas-leasing considerations for landowners; implications for local communities; and gas pipelines and right-of-way issues also are available on the Penn State Extension natural-gas website (http://extension.psu.edu/naturalgas).

Study shows Marcellus Shale benefits economy, but questions remain

http://live.psu.edu/story/54756#nw69
Monday, August 29, 2011

Photo courtesy of Timothy Kelsey A new study suggests that the state's natural-gas boom is having a positive effect on businesses such as this lunch wagon at a Bradford County drill site, but the overall economic impact may be muted by municipal costs, as well as by income that's unspent or leaves the local area.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A new study examining the Marcellus Shale natural-gas boom in Pennsylvania suggests that, although development of this resource is having a positive economic impact in the state, the net benefits may be more modest than previously reported.

Summarized in a publication, “Economic Impacts of Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania: Employment and Income in 2009,” the study was conducted by the Marcellus Shale Education and Training Center, a partnership between Penn State Extension and the Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport.

Timothy Kelsey, professor of agricultural economics in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences and a lead author of the publication, said the study looked at several aspects of Marcellus Shale natural-gas development in Pennsylvania that had not been considered in previous research and assessed how these factors affected the overall economic impact.

“For instance, we examined where leasing and royalty dollars actually are going and how they are being spent,” Kelsey explained. “The economic impacts will be very different depending on how many dollars go to Pennsylvania households, to state and local governments, and to nonresidents.

“In addition, how many of those dollars are immediately spent by residents and how many are saved also will affect the impact, as will the proportion of wages being paid to out-of-state workers.”

The study included surveys of landowners, local businesses and local government officials, as well as a GIS analysis of land-ownership patterns among Pennsylvania residents, nonresidents and the state. The researchers combined this information with industry spending data to estimate the spatial distribution of natural-gas-company spending over time. They then entered the data into economic-analysis software to model the state’s economy and estimate multiplier effects.

The results suggest that in 2009, Marcellus Shale development supported between 23,385 and 23,884 jobs in the state and generated around $3.1 billion in economic activity. This included about $1.2 billion in labor income and nearly $1.9 billion in added value.

“These results are about half the size of those estimated in previous Marcellus economic-impact studies,” Kelsey said, “but this isn’t surprising because we had more detailed information about leasing and royalty income. Our results confirm that where leasing and royalty dollars are going significantly influences the estimated overall impacts.”

Kelsey explained that only about half of the land in counties with Marcellus activity is owned by residents within those counties. Twenty-five percent is owned by residents living elsewhere in Pennsylvania, and nearly 8 percent is owned by out-of-state landowners. The remaining 17 percent is owned by the public sector, primarily the state.

“This would imply that a large portion of the economic benefits immediately leaves the communities being impacted by drilling,” he said.

Similarly, the study looked at wages paid by the industry and where they are going. “A recent Marcellus workforce study indicated that about 37 percent of Marcellus workers are non-Pennsylvania residents,” said Kelsey. “We estimated two alternative scenarios — 25 percent and 50 percent — for how much of the payroll going to non-Pennsylvanians is sent back to their home-state communities. We also accounted for how their spending likely differs from typical resident workers.”

In addition, the study found that the amount of lease and royalty payments spent or saved affects the gas play’s immediate impacts. The researchers surveyed landowners in Bradford and Tioga counties who live within 1,000 feet of active Marcellus wells. The results suggest that lease holders save or invest about 55 percent of leasing proceeds and about 66 percent of royalty payments in the year they are received, rather than spending them immediately.

“This means a significant portion of leasing and royalty dollars are not spent in Pennsylvania in the year received, reducing the potential economic impact in that year,” Kelsey said.

The researchers also looked at the Marcellus boom’s fiscal impacts on local governments. They found that the effects on municipal coffers so far are minimal.

All 494 municipal governments in 12 Marcellus counties were surveyed, with 293 responding. Only about 18 percent of governments experiencing Marcellus activity said their tax revenues had increased, and about 26 percent said costs had increased, especially related to road maintenance.

“To have a complete understanding of the impacts of gas-development, you have to consider both revenues and costs,” Kelsey noted. “These findings contrast with previous economic studies that predicted large local tax impacts but did not verify what actually is occurring.”

Local businesses in two counties surveyed as part of the study described positive impacts, according to the authors. About a third of all responding businesses in Bradford and Washington counties reported increased sales due to natural-gas development, and only 3 percent reported a sales decline.

“Businesses across the economy reported positive effects, though hotels, construction companies, transportation concerns, eating and drinking places, wholesalers and financial-services firms were most likely to report higher sales,” Kelsey said.

The researchers did not try to quantify other important but difficult-to-measure costs of Marcellus development, such as effects on the environment and health. They said they hoped that future studies can look at such issues as better information becomes available about their prevalence and extent.

“The long-run implications of Marcellus Shale development are still unknown,” Kelsey emphasized. “We believe our results must be viewed as a preliminary, short-term view of the impacts of Marcellus Shale and should be placed in the broader context of these other important concerns.”
