The Department of Environmental Protection finalized one of two enforcement and investigative policies related to oil and gas and other spill reporting and cleanup, according to a notice published in the January 3 PA Bulletin.
The policy-- DEP ID: 260-0500-001- Policy for Coordinating Immediate Responses and Final Remediation of Spills and Releases-- summarizes how the Department oversees immediate responses and final remediation of spills and releases of regulated substances onto soils.
The purpose of the policy is to facilitate the consistent investigation of and the response to spills and to coordinate immediate response needs with final remediation endpoints.
The other guidance dealing with a proposed new Oil and Gas Program enforcement policy has not yet been finalized.
A copy of the policy will be made available on DEP’s website. For more information, contact Randy Roush by calling 717-787-1566 or send email to: raroush@pa.gov.
