Technical Guidance & Permits
The Department of Environmental Protection published notice of two new policies for comment on total dissolved solids in the Monongahela River and for oil and gas development borrow pits.
DEP ID: 362-2100-001. Policy for Coordinating National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting in the Monongahela River watershed. The policy has been developed to guide NPDES permitting in the Monongahela River Watershed in the wake of several water quality issues related to total dissolved solids (TDS) and sulfate, which emerged during 2008 and 2009.
DEP ID: 563-2111-115. Borrow Pits for Oil and Gas Well Development Activities. The Oil and Gas Act allows the removal of borrow material for use in well development activities, under certain circumstances, to proceed without a mining permit. Borrow activities that do not meet the requirements need a noncoal surface mining permit.
