The Department of Environmental Protection published notice of a June 1 public meeting and hearing on a proposal to reclassify the PA General Energy Company Marjorie C. Yanity #1025 well from a production well to a disposal well in Grant Township, Indiana County.  (PA Bulletin, page 2426)

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has already issued an underground injection control permit for the well.  DEP does not have authorization from EPA to issue permits for injection wells.

The hearing will be held at the East Run Sportsman’s Association, 1668 Sebring Rd., Marion Center, PA starting at 6:00 p.m.

Those wishing to present testimony during the hearing should contact DEP Community Relations Coordinator, John Poister, at 412-442-4203, by noon on June 1.

DEP will accept comments on the proposal until June 6.
