Site Visits to CommercialWastewater Disposal Facilities; Eureka Resources; Pennsylvania Brine; Tunnelton Liquids; Hart Resource Technologies; Findings and Conclusions; Findings; Conclusions; References; Appendix A :; Pennsylvania Facilities Permitted to Accept Oil and Gas Wastewaters and Other Facilities that Have Applied for Permits to Accept Oil and Gas Wastewater; End Notes; Natural Gas Drilling in the Marcellus Shale NPDES Program Frequently Asked Questions*; 1) What is the Marcellus Shale?; 2) Why is the Marcellus Shale gas extraction suddenly important for natural gas production? |
|
3) How is extraction from the Marcellus Shale different from other natural gas extraction?4) How many wells could be expected at a Marcellus gas extraction site?; 5) How similar is the Marcellus Shale to other shale deposits where natural gas is currently extracted?; 6) Does the Clean Water Act apply to discharges from Marcellus Shale Drilling operations?; 7) Do the Oil and Gas Extraction effluent guidelines for onshore operations, found at 40 CFR Part 435, Subpart C, apply to Marcellus Shale gas drilling? |
|
8) Since 40 CFR Part 435, Subpart C applies to the Marcellus Shale drilling activity, may an NPDES permit authorize onsite discharge of this wastewater to a water of the U.S.?9) Are facilities subject to 40 CFR Part 435, Subpart C required to obtain an NPDES permit that imposes the ""no discharge"" requirement for the activities identified in Subpart C?; 10) May Shale Gas extraction (SGE)14 wastewaters be discharged to a POTW?; 11) What requirements do POTWs need to meet in order to accept shale gas wastewater? |
