This bill adds a requirement for operators of unconventional wells to report on waste production and disposal methods.

  • Section 3

    (b.1) Waste reporting.-- (1) The report submitted on February 15 and August 15 of each year shall include information on the amount and type of waste produced and the method of waste disposal or reuse, including the specific facility or well site where the waste was managed for the preceding six months. The department may not require more frequent reporting than is required under this subsection. (2) Waste information submitted to the department in accordance with this subsection is deemed to satisfy the residual waste biennial reporting requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 287.52 (relating to biennial report).

    Operators must now report the amount and type of waste produced and disposal methods twice a year.
