From the Marcellus Drilling News, July 12, 2022

In June the Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Environmental Quality Board (EQB) adopted an onerous new regulation that supposedly will capture every last molecule of stray methane that leaks from shale drilling operations (see PA EQB Adopts Tweaked Version of Onerous VOC/Methane Regulations).

The EQB voted to advance a rule that only affects shale sites and related equipment–not conventional drilling. The final step before the onerous new reg goes into effect is a hearing and vote by the state Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC).

A key PA House committee sent a letter to the IRRC opposing adoption of the reg as written, potentially blocking it.
